You should be OK doing this, but if for some reason this doesn't work out for you I don’t know much else that could be done. Best of luck!

thanks buddy i appreciate the FAST reply i literally have been in the lab for two days trying to figure out how to word the question before i started asking lol

... so can you tell me exactly what on the logic board or in side of the iphone gives it the ability to be “carrier locked”

I think that carriers lock the phones they sell because they don't want their customers terminating their contracts early. Carrier locked phones only take SIM cards that are issued by e.g. Sprint and theres not much that can be done in order to remove the carrier lock. I am unsure what part of the Logic Board has the carrier lock settings on it. Thats my two cents.
