The word "carrier" has different meanings depending on the context.

Everyday

In everyday life, a carrier can mean any person who is carrying something.

Example: The cab driver became a carrier when his passenger asked him to assist her with lugging several boxes.

Work

In the workplace, a postal carrier is a man or woman who sorts, cases, and delivers mail from a local office into a neighborhood.

A cab driver is sometimes referred to as a carrier, because he "carries" people in his vehicle.

Pets

A cat carrier is a cage with a door where owners can place their cat for easy transport or for safety reasons.

Medical / Health

A carrier is a person who harbors (carries) a particular germ or disease, but who is not sick from that germ or disease. For example: Although yeast commonly lives on the skin as normal flora, men can become sexual carriers and repeatedly infect their partners, causing vaginal or oral yeast infections.

Does no carrier and unlocked mean the same thing with a cellphone?

No, "no carrier" and "unlocked" do not mean the same thing for a cellphone. "No carrier" typically means the device is not currently associated with any specific mobile network provider, while "unlocked" refers to a phone that can be used with any carrier's SIM card, not restricted to the original provider. An unlocked phone can be used on any compatible network, whereas a device labeled as "no carrier" may still require unlocking to do so.
