@ShelbyShadow If you specify a carrier when you buy from Samsung, you will get a carrier locked phone. To carrier unlock it, you would need to contact that carrier. 

If you specifically bought an unlocked phone from Samsung without specifying a carrier, your phone is unlocked.

Go to phone settings -> About phone and look at the model number. If it ends in "U" it is a carrier phone. If it ends in "U1" it is an unlocked phone. 

BTW, carrier unlocking a phone does not change it from a "U" to a "U1" model.

Than your phone should already be unlocked if you bought it directly from Samsung, unless you bought it carrier locked selected when purchased
