Phone Unlock

I need to get my phone unlocked ASAP by Apple who do I need to contact please? (Details - my current provider won’t do it because of their policy so they told me that I had to go straight to the manufacturer which is Apple)

iPhone XR, iOS 14

Your carrier lied. Apple does not and cannot unlock a carrier locked phone. Apple builds the phones. Carriers control the cellular service on the phone. You need to find out what the carrier will require (likely paying off the term of the contract on the phone) to unlock it.


Apple has NOTHING to do with this.
