Apple sells phones with SIM cards installed already, as well as "unlocked" with no SIM cards, and this is specified when you purchase it online or at an Apple Store. As long as you did not purchase the device with a plan through your carrier, it should be unlocked, even if it has a SIM already in. If you put your own SIM card and it works, then it means the device is unlocked. Have a great day!
