How to unlock an Iphone

Hi @shahrukh 

You can still submit a request even if you never had an AT&T account. See the information above and use the link to the online unlock portal to get started.

Thanks,

Dmitriy

im a business customer, spend around $6,000 every month, and no doubt that ATT covers my necessity while abroad, however when asked to provide unlock for iphones they really are a pain, that makes me move to others carriers such as tmobile, since they have no restrictions in unlocking the phone at no problem, Ive been a customer for many years and I find this "unable to unlock" a sort of pushiment towards our loyalty, I mean I even researched if these was under constituion and Ive found out recently: "

President Barack Obama signed a bipartisan bill into law Friday that aims to make it easier for consumers to change their cell phone service providers without paying for a new phone.

The bill, known as the Unlocking Consumer Choice and Wireless Competition Act, reverses a decision made by the Library of Congress two years ago that said it was illegal for consumers to "unlock" their cell phones for use on other networks without their service provider's permission." under DMCA S.517 Why Att keep their unfair policy?

I called ATT and they simply told me that the phone must be in the account for at least 60 days

you have to request the unlock through online form. Or you can try call customer service at 18003310500 to get one of the rep to help you. 

Im assuming you have an international SIM?  It doesn't sound like it was unlocked.  So get an unlock code and place another carrier SIM into the iPhone and restore via iTunes to unlock the iPhone.  

deb0106, the unlock requirements appear to have changed in the last few days and are now as stated in the first post.  Have you tried your request recently?  There is also a separate link for business customers which I have not taken a look at.

Heres their reponse, Ive been using over 60 days:

This was yesterday:

Thank you for contacting AT&T about unlocking your mobile device. 

Unfortunately, your unlock request was denied because: 

Our records indicate that you are not associated with the original owner of the device. 

Please check the account holder’s information and submit a new request.
