Thanks for the information. Here's the information on how your phone can get unlocked. 

  1. You will need to contact your carrier (AT&T) and request an unlock. Your account might need to meet requirements for unlocking. After you submit the request, it might take a few days to complete. To get your request's status, contact your carrier.
  2. After your carrier confirms that they unlocked your iPhone you can now use a sim card from a different provider

Let me know if you have questions.
