Unlock your iPhone 13 on US Cellular

Your iPhone 13 is locked to US Cellular, so it only works with US Cellular SIM cards. A carrier unlock lets it accept a SIM from any compatible network, at home or abroad. Start with a free IMEI check: it shows the model, the carrier and the SIM lock status before you pay anything. The iPhone 13 came out in 2021.

How it works

  1. Enter the IMEI (dial *#06# to see it). The eligibility check is free.
  2. See the exact all in price and delivery time. There is no fee to see it.
  3. Pay with card or PayPal. We email you when the unlock is confirmed.

After the unlock: steps for your iPhone 13

  1. Remove the SIM card from your iPhone and insert a SIM from a different carrier.
  2. Restart the phone. If it asks you to activate, connect to Wi-Fi and follow the prompts.
  3. If you see "SIM Not Supported" or a similar message, go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset Network Settings, then restart.
  4. If it still shows a lock message, back up the phone, then connect it to a computer and restore it with Finder or iTunes.
  5. Check Settings > General > About > Carrier Lock. It should read "No SIM restrictions".

Questions about unlocking an iPhone 13

How long does it take to unlock an iPhone 13 on US Cellular?

Usually within 24 hours. We show the delivery time before you pay, and you can follow your order live on the track page.

Can US Cellular unlock my iPhone 13 for free?

Often yes, if you qualify. US Cellular usually asks that the phone is paid off, the account is in good standing and the phone is not reported lost or stolen. Check your carrier's current policy. A paid unlock helps when you do not qualify or cannot get US Cellular to act.

Will unlocking erase my iPhone 13?

No. A carrier unlock does not erase your data. Some phones restart after the unlock. Keep a backup anyway, as you should before any phone change.

Do you remove iCloud, FRP or MDM locks?

No. We only do carrier unlocks. We do not remove iCloud or Activation Lock, FRP or Google account locks, or MDM locks.

What if the unlock does not work?

If the unlock is rejected or not delivered within the stated time, you get a full refund. See our refund policy for details.
