Hi sabrinam321,


Thanks for contacting Apple Support Communities!


We understand that you'd like to unlock your iPhone so that you can switch to a new carrier.


The carrier who has locked your iPhone would need to remove the lock for you so that you can switch carriers. You can learn more here: How to unlock your iPhone for use with a different carrier - Apple Support


"Contact your carrier

  1. Only your carrier can unlock your iPhone. Contact them and request an unlock. After you submit the request, it might take a few days to complete. Contact your carrier to check the status of your request.
  2. After your carrier confirms that they unlocked your iPhone, follow the steps below. 

If you need to activate an eSIM from a carrier other than your current carrier
