How to know which carrier has locked my iPhone?

Subject: Request for assistance with carrier lock issue on my iPhone [Model:MGEK3LL/A serial number: G6***DXT]

Dear Apple Support,

I am writing to request assistance with a carrier lock issue on my iPhone [insert iPhone model and IMEI/serial number]. I recently purchased this iPhone and it appears to be locked to a carrier, preventing me from using it with other carriers.

I have tried contacting various carriers, but I am unable to determine which carrier has locked the phone. I would like to request your assistance in unlocking my iPhone, or providing me with information on which carrier the phone is locked to.

I understand that unlocking my iPhone may void my warranty and that there may be potential risks and issues associated with unlocking the phone. I would appreciate any guidance or recommendations you can provide on the best course of action.

Thank you for your time and assistance in this matter. Please let me know if you require any additional information from me.

Sincerely,

usman

Ask whoever you got the phone from or call AppleCare and give them the serial number.


That phone would be locked to one of the US carriers. If you are not a current or former customer in good standing of the carrier it’s locked to, it’s unlikely they will agree to unlock it for you.
