No, the whole point in the phone being locked is to stop twats stealing our stuff. You are obviously handling stolen goods

he said unlocked, not unblocked.
They can be unlocked to any provider, yes
They cannot "legally" be unblocked

Service provider just sounds like you want to put a sim from another network in.
Yes that can be done easily. And legally.

if it was locked to a specific network and you put another network sim in i'm pretty sure it would still say "insert sim" or "not allowed".
What you said is almost like it's blocked..?

Only if you change the IMEI number.
It is illegal, you'll be hard pushed finding someone that'll do it for you.
