Problem with unlock device

Hi, @nmaluend,

We'd love to help with this. Did you check the spam folder to see if the email was misdirected there? If it wasn't, you should be able to make a new request in a few days. This time, though, use an email with a different provider if you can.

While waiting, take a look at things to know about unlocking your device through AT&T. There's a list of requirements to be met before AT&T will unlock a device. Did the device have postpaid service with AT&T for sixty days with no past due or unpaid balance or have prepaid service with AT&T for six months? If it meets those and the other requirements, you should be able to unlock your device.

Have a great day!

I check the spam folder and there is no mail. I hace received other AT&T mails without problem. There is a gmail provider.

I cannot generate a new request (and I cannot change the email), because the system says that are already processing a request for this IMEI.

The main problem is that it should be unlocked now to create a new request, because I created it 4 days ago, and I didn't confirm the unlock request because I didn't received any mail (it says 24 hours deadline).

How many days I haver to wait to create a new request?

I have prepaid service with AT&T for seven months.

Is there any mail address to write? I really think that my case won't be solved waiting.

Hi @mmaluend

Thanks for checking your spam folder. You can back periodically on your unlock status. Please allow up to 2 business days to process not included weekends.

I generated the unlock request on May 8, and I tried to generate a new one
today (May 14).

Please, tell how can I get some help to generate a new request?

My data, if it helps:

IMEI: *****
AT&T prepaid phone number: *****

I generated the request on May 8, and I cannot generate a new one today (May 14) - al least 4 business days between.

I think the system misunderstood my first request. I generated one at May 6, I received the mail confirmation and I confirm the request. Next, on May 8 I received a mail telling that my order was cancelled because I didn't confirm (when I did it). Then, I generated a new unlock request on May 8, but I didn't received any mail (and I lost the second Request Number - I have tried with the first Request Number, but it was caceled).

I need to recuperate the actual Request Number, or eliminate the current unlock request to generate a new one.

How can I get some specific help? is there any email address to write?

Greetings @nmaluend!

Allow us to assist. We like to advice that once submitted, a device unlock request automatically processes, so no further action is necessary.

Also, usually, device unlock requests take 1-2 days to process. However, since the update in the email confirmation policy (as of April 29, 2019, confirmation emails are no longer required for devices active on the AT&T network) there has been an increase in submitted requests which has resulted in the additional time needed to process.

We hope this info helps!
