Dear Sir, Madam,

We have purchased the iphone 7 sometimes ago and the phone is not function with local sim. We are residing in oversea- Malaysia.

Appreciate if you can assist to remover sim-locked for a 5years old phone. 

The Apple site FAQ : The carrier lock is not on the SIM card, it is recorded in Apple’s activation server. You need to contact Verizon and ask them to remove the carrier lock.

IMEI : {edited for privacy}

Please let us know if any. You can reach us at follows:-

If we purchase an verizon prepaid starter pack, would the sim-locked be removed?

Thank you for contacting us. I see that the iPhone 7 is unlocked, but the Find My iPhone feature lock is enabled on that phone. You'll need to disable that in order to be able to activate onto a different phone number from the original phone number it was on.

Hello Debbie,

On the iphone it shown the  "Network Provider Lock" Sim Locked.

The device is restricted to the original network provider.

It will be a great help if you can do the necessary change it to "No sim restrictions"

In case if you need the IMEI {edited for privacy} for the process

Your great assistant is much appreciated.

thank you

Regards

Daniel
