Hey there Cesar4800,


We understand your iPhone is showing that it is currently unlocked in the Settings app, but your carrier is showing that the device is locked to another carrier. We know how important it is to get this resolved as soon as possible so you can start enjoying your new device, and we'd be happy to help.


To get started, did you follow the steps listed in the following article for help with this issue: How to unlock your iPhone for use with a different carrier


If so, and if you're still running into issues, we'd recommend reaching out to Apple Support directly at this link here: Get Support


Take care!
