iPhone unlock status

Hello , I recently purchased an iPhone 11 at the local apple store , I paid cash and have no payment on the phone. So does this mean that my phone can be used for any carrier ? I just stuck my AT&T chip in after purchase and it worked for them. But I’m planning on selling tomorrow and the buyer is asking about the unlock status since I told him it was a paid off phone

iPhone 11, iOS 13

Carrier locked iPhone 14 Plus I bought a second hand iPhone 14 Plus from a private seller in Poland(my country of residence). It turns out the phone is carrier locked by AT&T and when I tried to submit an unlock request it turned out it has not been fully paid off, therefore I can't unlock it there. Is there another way to unlock it or am I stuck with a non-functional phone and a feeling of shame? The phone is not blacklisted btw.

How to carrier unlock iPhone 7 plus when AT&T refuses (clean IMEI) I have an AT&T iphone 7 plus. It has been used on the Cricket Wireless system (AT&T) for years. It is carrier locked to that system. I am going to India and asked for it to be unlocked and they keep telling me it can't. I use their unlock website and it says denied. My phone has a clean IMEA, isn't under contract, is fully paid for, not stolen. Is there a way to get it unlocked quickly? I leave for India tomorrow and fighting AT&T has consumed all my available time. My last choice is to go spend $600 on a new iPhone at the local Apple store. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you bought from the Apple Shop then the device is unlocked to all carriers
