How do i know if my phone is factory unlocked not software unlock

[rickz97]

Hey, i just purchased an used iPhone 6S Plus. It was all good until i noticed that the box doesnt come with a SIM ejector and when i google search it saya that my phone could probably be locked. However i did manage to put my sim and it works just fine.

I also has tried restore it using itunes and a message appeared, "your iphone has been unlocked" does that mean my phone is not factory unlock? Is the unlock permanent? Thanks

1. The previous owner may have lost the ejector tool.
2. Your phone was not factory unlocked, after you reset it, it got unlocked.
3. Yes, the unlock is permanent.

1. The box itself doesnt have the compartment for the sim ejector
2. So my phone is software unlock?
3. Am i safe to update to fiture ios version and wouldnt lose my unlocked sim?

- Mine came with tha sim ejection tool because I got ir brand new.
- Yes.
- Yes. If it's unlocked a legit way, Apple won't relock it.

So if its unlock in a legit way, it wont be locked again even if i update the os

Resetting through iTunes is legit, it is permanently unlocked.
