Why won't the website let me unlock my iphone 7?

There are no internet problems with the website.  That’s a basic message that usually means that the website is being blocked by a firewall somewhere, either in your country, or in the US.  ATTHelps asking various permutations of “are you really, really sure the phone is eligible for unlocking” isn’t going to resolve the issue of getting through to the website.  If you can’t get through to the website, the only other way is to call them and hope that they’ll process an unlock online.

Hello, @volkovs8,

Thank you for reaching out. Here are things to know about unlocking your device through AT&T. Was it on an AT&T postpaid plan for sixty days with no past due or unpaid balance or was it on an AT&T prepaid plan for six months? If it meets that and the other requirements listed in the preceding link, let us know so we may investigate further.
