Jul 17, 2016 10:12 PM in response to Andreaiher.ricoby Attapon,What you need to know is
- Country of purchase iPhone (in this case is USA)
- Carrier that iPhone is Locked to (USA carrier: AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, Sprint...)
- Blacklist status of that iPhone (Under contract, Lost, Stolen)
If you know all information only can unlock that iPhone but some case can't unlock ie. iPhone in contact or blacklist

Jul 17, 2016 10:14 PM in response to Andreaiher.ricoby Camelot,The question is whether the phone is currently locked to a particular carrier. If it is, you'll need to call that carrier to unlock the phone. You can tell them you're not in the US (and don't plan to be)... that is usually sufficient.
