@angelapayne54 : When you bought it new would be a good start.

Sorry, I don’t know that. A different question.

@Moyerc : Texting UNLOCK to 150 will tell you for an iPhone.

A very good test of whether a phone is unlocked is to try a non-EE SIM in it.

Did you get your phone on a contract from a mobile phone service provider (like EE, Vodaphone, O2 etc)? If so it's likely to be locked.

Or did you buy your phone outright and get a SIM card for it separately? If so it's likely to be unlocked.

On the contrary since the 2021 rule change.
