Hi


If your iPhone is locked to a different carrier than the one that you want to use, then you will need to contact the original carrier (Apple does not perform unlocking) and follow the steps here:


How to unlock your iPhone - Apple Support


Consumer Cellular's unlocking policy is currently:


"Phones sold by Consumer Cellular are designed to work specifically on our service. To allow us to make them more affordable for our customers, Consumer Cellular sells them at a price that is actually below cost. To help offset this loss, phones can only be used with Consumer Cellular service for the first six months they are in use. After that, customers may request that the phone be unlocked so long as the device has been paid in full, and the account in question is not past due."
