You cannot make it carrier unlocked after you have purchased the iPhone. You have to do that before your purchase it and ensure that the iPhone is unlocked from the seller.


If you have received a carrier locked iPhone, then you can try and contact the carrier that it is locked to ask them about the requirements to get your iPhone unlocked.

Don't Purchase a Locked iPhone:


The next time you purchase an Apple device, then make sure that you can log into it. For an iPhone, have the original user use this site: What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support. They should have known better. Request that you are able to log into it, and assign it to your account, prior to handing over the money. If the seller decides to dis-abide by those rules you've set fourth, then do not proceed with the transaction.
