I am gong to assume that you are talking about a Carrier Lock. You can find out by using the following methods-


  1. Call your current carrier and ask them whether your iPhone is locked or not. OR
  2. Replace your SIM card with a SIM card from another carrier. If your iPhone is Locked then you will not be able to make or receive calls with the SIM card from another carrier.
