If you’ve signed a 2-year contract or some type of annual contract, your phone or data device is probably carrier-locked until you finish paying it off. Once you pay the remaining balance, your carrier is legally obligated to unlock your phone for free.

The best way to determine whether your phone or data device is unlocked is by calling your current carrier. You will most likely need to provide your account password and your device’s IMEI number. You can get the IMEI on most phones by dialing *#06# on your keypad. Please note: Once you have requested for the carrier to unlock your device, it may take up to 24 hours for the carrier to release the lock.
