How to tell if phone is unlocked?

kbell · 2016-08-20 17:22:50

Without putting in a sim from another provider, is there anyway to tell if a phone is unlocked or not? Phone is iPhone 6 currently with Vodafone sim.

I dont think theres anything on the iphone itself to indicate if its unlocked. You could give vodafone or apple a quick call to check the status of lock.

That's a big gamble to take. A lot of them are not accurate.
