What is the exact message you’re getting?

If it tells you the SIM is not supported, the phone is carrier locked. Only the carrier it is locked to can unlock it for use on other networks.


Note that your carrier does NOT exist in both the UK and Turkey. They are different legal entities, even if they have the same name.

In addition, the iPhone 5s is no longer usable as a phone in much of the world. Carriers in most industrialized nations now require at least an iPhone 6 or later.
