iPhone 6 unlock

Hello, i recently purchased a used vzw iphone 6 and would like to know how to have it internationally unlocked. The device I have worked properly while I was in the states on the T-mobile network but fails to activate when I insert an international sim.

Please let me know how best to move forward. Thanks.

Verizon phones are unlocked out of the box. Are you sure it is a Verizon phone?

If it isn't working, there must be another reason.

run the ESN number through Swappa and see what pops up.

Sadly when I ran it through swappa it returned that there was no matching device found. When I was purchasing the device I had ran a check on one of the popular imei checking websites and was told there that the device is a vzw device.

I can post the results of that check if you like.

NO matching device means one of two things. Either the phone is a clone, or you have the wrong ESN number

when you turn it on, does it show Verizon boot screen?

No there is no bootup images other than the standard apple boot screen. I doubt the device is a clone as I am able to connect to itunes.

I have been able to successfully activate the device through itunes using a T-mobile mini-sim I had with me. My problem is that after activation, whenever I insert an international sim it reverts to the lock screen reporting that it requires activation. If I try to activate it again with the international sim, i get an error in itunes stating that the sim that is inserted does not appear to be supported.
