If your iPhone is carrier-locked, only the carrier to whom it is locked can release the lock – if they choose to do so. You should be able to check whether your iPhone is carrier-locked by looking in Settings > General (Carrier Lock). The words "No SIM restrictions" would indicate that your iPhone is unlocked.

If your iPhone is unlocked, but is not accepting a SIM card, you may need to contact the carrier who issued the SIM card for help with their cellular service.

To make your iPhone read a Ugandan SIM card (such as MTN or Airtel), check if your phone is carrier-lockedor experiencing a SIM hardware/software glitch.
