If I take my sim card out of my iPhone is it considered unlocked because if it is I could get more money for my iPhone 4S if I say it's unlocked
No, unlocked means you can use it on different carriers.
"unlocked" is when there's no password to open the phone. People that steal locked phones can't unlock them unless they guess at the password correctly. So people buy a stolen phone and can't do anything with them. People put "unlocked" so that way you can go in an edit the phone and make it yours. No one stolen my phone, and of they did they would never guess the code. Locked forever! Btw id always take the sim card out before selling a personal phone.
Taking out a SIM from a phone doesn't mean it is unlocked. To unlock a phone you need to enter the respective unique unlock code.
