Federal law requires to carriers to unlock a phone at your request. If you are a minor, or Mom has the contract, she might have to make that call. And it takes several hours or a day before this kicks in. Easy.

IPhones are never locked to a network by Apple. If the carrier has put a network lock on, simply switch SIM cards then reboot the device.

Unless you find some trustworthy 3rd party option that still exists. I personally would go through the carrier if it is an option at all. Safer.

  • Would I be able to switch carriers without having to switch phones? I'm with Consumer Cellular and I have an iPhone SE, but I'm thinking of switching carriers so that I can get unlimited data. I don't want to get a new phone because I've had my current one about six months, I really like it, and it works great. I'm not locked into a contract with Consumer Cellular. Would I be able to switch to another carrier without having to purchase a new phone?
  • Why did my photos get transferred to my moms phone? Okay, my mom got a new iphone 7, and when she was transferring her photos from her old phone to her new phone, all my photos from my Samsung ended up on her phone. Why did this happen and how do i prevent this from happening again?
  • What cell phone carriers will let me use an unlocked iphone 4? So my friend is going to unlock his old Sprint iphone and give it to me. I'm looking to change phone plans and I was wondering which no contract plans will let me use an unlocked iphone?
  • If i switch carriers will I have to restart my phone? I want to switch carriers. Right now I have metro pcs but I'm planning to switch to T-Mobile. I got a new iPhone about 2 months ago so if I switch carriers I'm not looking on buying a new phone. So will I have to restart my phone to switch? Will I loose anything like pictures, apps, or stuff like that?
