phones will initially be unlocked.
they will lock to the first sim inserted.
(do not insert any sim until you understand this concept)
so, best case is to use ONLY the method below
Best Method to Unlock:
Put a inactive RP {Red Pocket} sim card (or any inactive ATT sim card {**H2O works as well} in the sim card slot.
{note:att is used because of its lenient and easy unlock policy. other sim will not be the same}
Power up your phone, connect to wifi.
Wait for the phone to activate.
Then you can go through the usual phone setup and confirm that the phone is sim locked under general -> about.
Next go to att.com/deviceunlock.
Start device unlock.
Do you have att phone number? No.
Type in your phone's IMEI (do NOT put IMEI 2, this is esim) then fill out your info on next page and submit.
You will receive one email from at&t right away to confirm your request.
Click to confirm and the second email should come soon with confirming the device is now unlocked.
At this point, take out RP sim card and put a sim card for T-Mobile or Verizon (or any of their MVNOs) in the phone.
Restart the device and it is now unlocked.
**H2O sim also works, cheaper at Target. Link to the H2O 1$ starter kit( https://www.target.com/p/h2o-wire...nk=samet

I see this on their unlock policy page:
Was paid in full when you bought it (it was not purchased on an installment plan). You must wait 60 days from your purchase date to submit an unlock request.
