@Hayleyjesson89 - sorry, I saw now that you said it was Koodo that worked in the phone.

The phone should not be locked, due to the model, I wouldn't think.

So, not sure if this would help.

Follow these steps to check that the iPhone is unlocked:

1. Make a phone call using the current SIM card. Make sure it connects.
2. Power off the iPhone. Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and use the Slide to Power Off option to switch off the iPhone.
3. Use the SIM-card ejector tool (or a paper clip) to eject the SIM card from the iPhone.
4. Insert your new SIM card.
5. Press the Sleep/Wake button to wake up the iPhone.
6. Make a phone call. Check that the iPhone can connect a call using the new SIM card.

If the phone call does not connect with the new SIM card, the iPhone is locked.

Have you contacted Apple with any questions?

Not sure if Public Mobile Customer Support (CSA) could help, or they have any suggestions? https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/on/get-help/articles/contact-an-agent

@Hayleyjesson89  have you tried the Public Mobile SIM in the 2nd SIM slot?

Maybe try it, without anything in the other slot. What is the result from this?

You said another SIM works in this phone. What provider of SIM was this that works?

 @Hayleyjesson89 : I'm no iphone expert but isn't there a process to go into About and check for updates to get carrier updates. Or is that old news now.

@Hayleyjesson89 Are you sure that phone is not locked to any carrier? Does it give you any error when you insert the sim and reboot the phone? If it's locked, you must unlock by contacting your previous carrier. Also, test other working sim in your phone and see if that works.

Is your phone locked? Contact your previous provider to unlock it for you. You will need your imei number, dial *#06# to get it.
