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 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/
