Are you unlocking as a non-customer?

If you are trying to use that phone on AT&T or one of its many mvno, you don't need to unlock it. It will work just fine with an AT&T SIM card on Cricket, H2O, straight talk with an AT&T SIM card, Etc.

You would only need to unlock it if you were trying to use it on T-Mobile
