How do I look up my iphone6 to find out if it's locked and how do I get it turned back on

[iMore Question]

My iPhone6 does not have service. My brother gave it to me as he is paralyzed from an accident and can't use it.

Welcome to iMore.

I'm very sorry to hear about what happened to your brother, but are you telling us he has no way of communicating with you. Your brother should know all this information.
