Ie accepts any SIM card.<BR /><BR />Another lock is imei which is locking the iPhones serial number so no one can use it. This is done to phones lost or stolen.<BR /><BR />Another lock on the iPhones are then4 digit pass lock to stop anyone else looking through your details.<BR /><BR />Another is the activation lock which stops anyone taking your sim out and putting theirs in.
