Unlock my iphone but don't know the carrier?

I bought an iphone 5 from a friend that works at a hotel that he found. I want to switch to straighttalk and spent $63 on the bring your own device package but the sims aren t valid. I looked into unlocking my iphone but i don't know what carrier the guy who left it had. I know its canadian because i searched the phone number. How should i go about unlocking it?

  • Will I be able to unlock my iPhone if I don't know the original carrier? Recently my old iPhone broke (water damage) in which my mother gave me her new but un used iPhone 5, I know it's locked to a different network. But I don't know which network, if I went to a shop to get it unlocked, would they be able to if I didn't know the original sim carrier?
