When you get an iPhone from a network provider it is locked to that network
An unlock iphone bought from apple store is unlocked and can be used onany network .

Sep 27, 2016 2:41 AM in response to Briansyddallby Gauri K,Thanks Brian. Can I go and buy iPhone 7 from Apple store and can use any SIM other than the ones mentioned on the Apple site? Because the Apple store representative was not sure about this and also Apple site does not have any option to order "Unlock" iPhone 7 (like it has for 6/6s etc.).

Sep 27, 2016 5:14 AM in response to Gauri Kby harshavardhanfromcarbondale,Yes I am using iphone 7 plus. I opted contract free phone from apple store and i tried both verison and at@t. They were working good.
Even after inserting the sim it will ask for which carrier should i opt.
