What does unlocked mean in terms of a phone? null

Unlocked to any carrier like Verizon,Cricket,Boost Mobile etc.

While the prior responses are generally accurate, there is an important clarification regarding unlocked NEW phones purchased from Best Buy. Many of these devices are sold under a “flex lock” or “reseller flex” policy, meaning they appear unlocked at the time of purchase but automatically lock to the first carrier used during activation. Once locked in this way, the phone becomes subject to that carrier’s standard unlocking rules and eligibility requirements, even though the device was paid in full at Best Buy.

It means you can take your phone to any carrier with no restrictions
