Unlock iPhone moved to Canada from USA

How to get my US iPhone 11 ( bought from Best Buy USA) to work with Canadian Plan SIM card now that I moved to Canada. Tried everything, Best Buy won’t do anything for me. Once a SIM card is put into your phone it will only work in that country???

Hi Lalaloretta,


Thanks for posting! Sounds like you're trying to use your new iPhone with a different carrier, do we have that right? Was it purchased unlocked or with a specific US carrier? If purchased with a specific carrier, you would need to get that device unlocked by the carrier. Check out this article: How to unlock your iPhone for use with a different carrier.


If it was purchased unlocked, you'll need to restore your iPhone using iTunes or Finder on the latest macOS: Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup.


Hope that helps!
