Maybe because it's locked to a carrier.

Note: Only the carrier the iPhone is locked to can officially unlock, not Apple or anyone.

SIM card. If you have a iPhone that you bought used and when you tried to activate you find out that the Sim card is locked is there absolutely anything you can do to get service to this phone
