Iphone 1 2G AT&T IMEI locked
Hello
I bought a 10 years old iphone 1 2G recently
I made a itunes complete restore, but I could't activate it because IMEI locked
Can you please unlock the iphone
I can give you the IMEI number later
I'm from France and I can't unlock it on your web site because I don't have an US phone number

Unfortunately you can’t unlock it. Apple no longer supports the phone and has no way to unlock it.

And it will make a nifty antique iPod Touch. Apple does not support unlocking of the first iPhone. And ATT has no 2g devices in its IMEI data base. You’re on your own to find a solution (Which we can’t discuss here)

That’s the screen that says plug it into a computer with iTunes. I’d do what it says and try that, however the picture seems to show that you do have a functioning cell signal, so how do you know it isn’t unlocked? If it were locked to AT&T, it would say no service.

OK it's apple who told me it was locked by AT&T but may be you are right
When I plus into itunes, then I have the screen saying the SIM card is not supported (the screen I send you before)

As written before: You’re on your own to find a solution (Which we can’t discuss here)
And even if possible, it will probably cost more than you paid for the phone.

@mercklingd: You wasted your money buying 10 year old iphone, everything is all obsolete. You either get money back, or take the lost. AT&T had exclusive right with iPhones, when they came out 10 years ago, but current iphones works on most carriers. Apple Store sells “unlocked” iphones, also.

Hello
1 days ago I paid 10€ on internet to unlock the SIM lock from AT&T, but i don't know if it worked.
And also by looking on forums, I saw that It's important to clean the iphone connector, what I did.
Finally this evening, I try again to connect on itunes, and miracle, activation worked !!!
So finally I bought a 10 years old collector iphone 2G for 130€ + 10€ of unlock.*
It's an investment, I think in 10 years it will worth a lot of money.
You can find some brand new iphone 2G under blinster for 10000€
Thanks for your answer and patience
