Thanks. I might just go to Wal-Mart, where I got it, and get them to do it.

Carolynm once you have the phone paid off you can request from at & t 
iinstructions for unlocking your phone or an unlock code, of which they will 
tell you the details of what to do. It's not hard to do.

Question about locked phones. I bought a phone and am on a 30-month AT&T 
contract. I know, a lot of people don't like those contracts, but this 
seemed like a good deal. I can be patient, know it won't last forever. So my 
question is, will my phone be locked with AT&T in 31 months, when I might 
want to return to Consumer Cellular? Or I eventually might want to sell my 
phone?

No kidding. If you can, return the phone and get your money back.
I've bought iPhones on buy/sell mailing lists and eBay and have always had 
good luck. I always make sure that the description states that it's unlocked 
or have the seller provide me with the IMEI so I can check 
compatibility/status on my carrier. If eBay, I can usually tell by the 
feedback and what else the seller has posted if it's an individual seller or 
it's someone who flips phones. A professional flipper is not going to burn 
themselves over one sale, so I'm less concerned about that.
Small consolation now I know, but just something to keep in mind for the 
future.

Carriers to my knowledge are legally obligated to unlock a phone if it is no 
longer under contract and you should be able to find out which carrier has 
to do it.
Here in Canada carriers can no longer sell phones locked to them, all phones 
have to be unlocked I think since December 1, 2018. This means of course you 
still find locked phones which people sell and which were locked before, but 
since then all new phones have to be unlocked.

And, if Verizon can't make it work, I would have doubts that anyone could. 
At our Verizon store, the guys down there seem to live to do stuff with 
phones to get them going just right.

When I had Verizon, they had a division of Customer Service for special 
problems, and the guy there helped me and Jim with a phone some years back.

The seller obviously lied, I would never buy a used iPhone online and unseen 
unless maybe on a list like this where I sort of know the person who is 
selling it has been around and even then I have heard stories where people 
sell stuff which is not at all as advertised or disappear with the money. 
Caveat emptor is very much in order here.

I'd call Apple and see if they can tell from the the serial number, which 
they can get if they do a screen share with you.
Otherwise you will have to find out what the carrier was, and possibly get 
the seller to give their permission to have it unlocked.
Sadly, it could be that the seller simply lied.
But, call Apple Accessibility: 877-204-3930 and see what they can sort out.
