If the phone is financed, it is locked.


If it is bought outright, it is often locked for a 30-60 day window then automatically unlocked, or you can request for the carrier to unlock it.


Edit: Most phone plans these days are month to month, but if a phone is part of a contract it'll be locked the length of that contract, too. If it is bought directly from the manufacturer, it'll be unlocked.
