Did you recently finish paying it off? It's a message that your phone was previously locked to a network (whoever your carrier is), but now it's unlocked and you can switch carriers if you want to.

Most carriers require your phone to be on their service for 90 days prior to unlocking, even if paid in full at purchase.  They want you for a full quarter.

Carriers usually unlock your device if you had it on their plan for a certain amount of days automatically, or if you paid it off.
