IMEI check did work on imeicheck.com and does correctly ID my phone and says it's unlocked. Guess all I need then is a SIM. Thanks.
I tried an Ultra Mobile pSIM that I have, which gives me an error. Tried restarting a couple of times, still getting an error about the SIM's compatibility. Removed the SIM, restarted a couple of times, still locked.
I have two more iPhone 12s, but not quite at the six-month mark for them to test.
Any advice? Do I need to leave the phone powered on and connected to wifi for any significant time to unlock?
Looks like some people just put their phones in a drawer and it unlocked without any significant extra effort from them except maybe a restart.

I didn't try looking online at IMEI check. But wouldn't the phone settings itself still need to update itself to be unlocked (regardless of what web sites say) in order to be able to use the phone with other plans?

As to why, maybe it only forces a manual check and status update when trying to use a new SIM...? Not sure myself, only that it worked. And try restarting WHILE the SIM is installed. Not sure why you wanted to remove the new SIM before restarting.

I purchased my phones in August/September 2024, and they didn't show as unlocked until I tested them with another provider's SIM. It might be the same for you—worth a quick check!
