Unlocking Iphone 6S

I would like to have my iphone unlocked. Using the online tool doesn't work. It says the device must be paid off. The device has been paid off for well over a year when I had ATT post paid service. Please help.

Hello @wjs05f

Let's get to the bottom of this!

Can you verify you qualify on every aspect for unlocking a device?

Did you get the error of needing the device to be paid off after you completed a device unlock request?

Keep us in the loop, thank you!

I should qualify for unlocking and i did get an error about needing to have the device paid off. The phone was puchased in 2016 with a ATT paymentplan, there was one insurance clain where the device was replaced. the device has been paid of for some time now and i have switched to att prepaid.

Hi @wjs05f,

 

The eligibility requirements will need to be met in full in order for you to unlock the device. If you have checked these requirements and are still experiencing issues, please visit our Contact Us page. Use the number at the bottom to contact us. We look forward to speaking with you!
