How do I know whether my phone is unlocked or not?

Hello
I am in Thailand trying to activate my iphone 4S with Thailand SIM card.
but the phone message says below.
This iPhone is not currently setup to work with carrier you're attempting to use. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked.
so my question is how do I know whether my phone is unlocked one or not, before I go and try get new SIM card.
Thank you very much. Your reply will be very much appreciated.

If your phone will not work with another sim card, then it is likely to be locked to the original carrier.
The only way to get your phone unlocked is to contact that phone company/carrier that the phone is locked to and hope that they offer unlocking.  Apple cannot unlock a phone for you, only the phone company that your phone is locked to can do that.  Some offer unlocking and some don't, so if the phone company does not offer unlocking, then you are out of luck and you'll either have to buy a new phone or use a sim card of the comapny - take out a contract with the compnay that the phone is locked to.
Anyway - contact Apple to see whether your phone is locked conclusively and if you talk to them they can tell you what they need.

    Nothing we can do to help you.  If it was bought in the UK from an Apple store as unlocked, it is unlocked.  If it was bought anywhere else, it will be locked, and only the carrier it is locked to will be able to unlock it.
    If you've tried a local SIM and it has not worked, then you have your answer, it is locked.

    You would know for a fact if the device is in use, but if you go back to the find my iPhone app in iCloud.com, you can either select to erase it, or place it in lost mode, in which case, once the device makes a connection to the internet, it will automatically go into that mode.

  • HT201328 how can I know whether my IME is blocked or not?

    How can I know whether my IME is blocked or not?

    Ask your wireless carrier.
    Where did you acquire this iPhone? Common scam
    is to sell iPhone in working condition so buyer can see
    it works, then seller reports iPhone as stolen/lost for
    insurance claim. Insurance company works with
    cellular provider to blacklist the iPhone and suddenly
    it no longer works.
    Or is your iPhone still locked to a wireless carrier as
    you imply in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5001327?tstart=0

  • Who will tell me whether my phone is unlocked or not?

    hi
    who will tell me whether my phone is unlocked or not?

    If your phone is out of contract, then I would take that to mean that when you purchased the phone you purchased it with a contract?  If this is correct, then you will have to contact your phone company to request that they unlocked your phone for you.  Nobody else can do this.  If this is the case and you did have a contract, then it does mean that your phone is locked.

    Is there someplace in the software of my 3Gs that says whether or not the phone is unlocked? I don't want to get overseas and find out too late that I did it wrong. AT&T did their part. And I think I did my correctly. But how do I know I have achieved "unlockness"?

  • HT201328 how do i know if my iphone is unlocked or not ?

    i follwoed the steps from att to unlock. how do i know if it is unlocked now ?

    You need to insert any non-AT&T sim. It will work if unlocked. If after Restore non-AT&T SIM activated it, it is unlocked.
    See Carrier under Settings also check what is the entry against Settings > General > About - Carrier  "AT&T" still there or not.
