    You would have to ask your uncle to contact the wireless provider to which the

    iPhone is locked to see if they offer unlocking and if he qualifies. Some require

    the iPhone to be active on their network for the unlock to complete. If this is the

    case, you would have to send the iPhone back to him for an unlock to succeed.
