How to Unlock Your iPhone to Get No SIM Restriction?

If you want to unlock your iPhone, you have to contact your mobile service provider. They will probably ask your name, account name, account number and your iPhone’s IMEI or MEID number.

If you are eligible to unlock your iPhone, the mobile service provider will give you a code that will help in unlocking your iPhone. 

If you are using a second-hand phone that is still under-contract with some other provider, there is a high chance that you are not eligible for No SIM restrictions. It is best to not use any online paid services to unlock your iPhone as they are not always authentic.
