Sorry, there is nothing anyone can do to help you. ATT will not unlock the phone until it is paid for and even if you wanted to finish paying for it, there is no way to do that.

I have an iPhone 6 and i was about to unlock it. As I have checked, someone has requested to unlock my device and I don't know who it is. Is there any chance to revoke that request as I did not made the request myself. Thanks!

Hi,

Iam from India. Raised request for device unlock through AT&T succeeded.

Even got confirmation mail from AT&T.

But, after inserting new card, after restart, getting SIM NOT VALID error.

 

Tried with different network service providers, still getting same issue.

 

Can you tell me, what is the problem still getting.

Have you done a backup, erase, restore with iTunes?

Next step it contact Apple to see if it is unlocked.

I don't want any backup, so did not selected.

I did erase and all other available options.

Still same issue.

 

Can you let me know, how to contact apple...

Sometimes the communication from ATT to Apple to update their activation servers fails. Another unlock request may get that to happen. Another possibility is the activation servers you are directed to from India either haven’t or don’t sync with US based servers. Not sure what it would take to fix if that’s the issue.

Hello there @vandyke89,


Thank you for joining us here in the Community Forums. When you wish to get your device unlocked from our network, it can be important to experience a smooth process. I would also want to get this matter situated if I were to use my phone for school and work as well.


I noticed you had sent us a private message to us. Thank you for including your details! I will be happy to follow up with you from there. Please be on the lookout for a response from me via the same private message thread. 


I hope to speak with you soon. Until then, have a great day!
