Can an unactivated iPhone be unlocked?

I recently bought a second hand phone which had been restored and so it currently unactivated. I filled in a form for my provider to unlock the iPhone.
I'm just curious as to whether I need to buy a compatible sim before it can be unlocked, or whether my provider will be able to unlock the phone regardless.

If they can't and it was previously activated with ATT, go to iphoneunlockedcheap.com and they can unlock it for $12.99 with coupon code IPULC12. They will do a factory unlock (no software needed). 100% guaranteed

  • Will an unactivated iPhone work? I believe I have found a way to get a new never activated 32gb iPhone 4S for free! However, with the expense of iPhones, I couldn't possibly pay service for it. Would it work like an iPod? If so, would GPS work? It could still use Wi-Fi right, it would just say no sim card in the top left corner? I don't know, please answer.
  • Will a verizon iphone 4s show that you have service even if unactivated? I have verizon iphone 4s… There's "no service" showing in the top left corner. The iphone does in fact have NO service from verizon because i didn't pay any for it but my question is would the phone have service showing there regardless of if i'm able to use it? Like I want to make sure it's not a hardware issue.
