How to unlock any AT&T iPhone when beeing off-contract?

If your iPhone is locked to AT&T, potentially it can be unlocked with very little effort. Follow the steps below:

STEP 1: On your iPhone go to Settings > General > About and write down the IMEI number. Or dial *#06# on your iphone with no spaces to look up the imei number.

STEP 2: Go to AT&T’s online account support page, login with a valid AT&T ID, and click on “Technical Support” to start a chat with a live representative.

STEP 3: Ask them to unlock an off contract iPhone and provide the iPhone IMEI number.

STEP 4: Let the AT&T representative check if the iPhone is indeed without a contract and give them an email address when asked

If everything works out, the AT&T rep will provide you with a case number and an estimated date of completion for resolution. The date they provide is a rough estimate and by no means represents the date you will get an email from AT&T. Sometimes AT&T sends the unlock emails out within an hour but it can take up to 10 days as well, the time varies widely based on the volume of unlock requests.

UPDATE: Emailing AT&T doesn't work, they will ask you to log in to your AT&T online account and contact customer support. Also calling the support number may or may not help you with the unlock, but you can still try at 1-800-331-0500, if it doesn't work through the live chat system within your online account.

ARE YOU NOT AN AT&T CUSTOMER? If you don't have a valid AT&T accound ID and don't know anyone with one, we might be able to request the unlock for you. BUT there are costs involved with this procedure for us. We have to pay those costs no matter if your iPhone is eligible for an unlock or not. Most iPhones off-contract with no dues on the account are eligible for an unlock. But we cannot guarantee that. If you want us to make the request, please donate $20 below. This payment if non-refundable, so if you have any doubts about your iPhone beeing eligible for an unlock, think twice about this. After the donation, email us your IMEI number to joss /at/ jailbreak4dummies.com.
