An unlocked phone is a device that is not restricted to a single carrier and can:

If your phone was purchased through a carrier, it may be locked to that carrier’s network.

Devices that are still under financing agreements may not be eligible for unlocking
Most carriers require the device to be paid off in full before unlocking
You should contact your current carrier for their specific unlocking policy and timeline

Contact your current carrier to verify if your device is unlocked or eligible for unlocking
Use the USA Mobile compatibility checker to confirm support for required AT&T network bands
