Carrier lock is exactly what it sounds like, it's locked on the Carrier side, ATT, T-Mobile, etc...

If they sent you the email then the unlock has been processed.

They want you to backup and restore via iTunes to preserve your data.

If you already have a SIM from a new carrier pop it in and see if it works.

If still not seeing new carrier and there is nothing on the phone you care about keeping just do a reset from the phone,

Settings->General (scroll to bottom) ->Reset->Erase All Content and Settings.
