    No one here has said anything about that.

    Try reading the article from which the question was asked.  Follow the instructions.

    I think it refers to the setup process associated with the new SIM, but I'm not sure either.

    2.5 years later, no one really cares.

    Generally it is a good idea to look at the time/date stamp on the thread before responding.

    I was able to confirm that the phone was in fact unlocked using the following steps (based on https://uplaup.wordpress.com/tag/unlock-iphone/):

     

    1. Complete a master reset using the Erase All Content and Settings option.

    2. Once the master reset has completed, reconnect the iPhone to the computer.

    Note: Do NOT complete the initial setup process prior to plugging the device in.

    3. When successfully unlocked, the message Congratulations, your iPhone has been unlocked will appear.

    Note: It may take a few minutes for this message to appear. Try unplugging the phone and/or restarting iTunes if at first you get an error message.
