How to check If refurbished iPhone has an unlocked SIM Card

How do I find out if my iPhone 11 has a SIM card?

The phone is a refurbished phone.

I need to purchase eSIM but need to know if the SIM card is unlocked.

The iPhone 11 can be configured with either a physical nano SIM card and/or an eSIM.


To determine if it has a physical SIM card, you would need to open the SIM tray to see if one exists.


To determine if this iPhone is locked to a particular cellular provider, you would tap on Settings > General > About > Carrier Lock. If it reports "No SIM restrictions" then it is unlocked.
