This is different. These people unlock the Iphone without checking if you are eligible for unlock or not. This a 3rd Party unlocking the Iphones and not Apple/AT&T themselves.

AT&T and Apple only unlock off contract phone depending on whether you completed your contract or not.

----------

I dont get it, so this site charges you to unlock your AT&T iphone?

Yes Exactly. I wasnt eligible for unlocking my Iphone 4. So i am doing it through these guys.

Honestly, getting an IMEI unlock is possible, even for 4S devices. No need to pay $130 for this overpriced service, which is a good (I mean obviously under 50%) percent of the price of devices on CL or whatever.

Just keep trying your luck with ATT and eventually you'll get to a person who will and can unlock your device for you.

Since AT&T couldnt unlock my phone and i dont think anyone is working on getting the 4.11.08 software unlock i only had the option to get this service.

Fingers crossed though:p

$50-70 might have been worth it. At $130, you're probably better off buying out of your contract via etf. I got my on contract 4S unlocked for free so the point is moot :p

I suspect OP either owns or is somehow affiliated with this unlocking service. Seems like a waste to spend $260 on unlocking two phones when multiple others have gotten on contract phones unlocked for free by AT&T.

AT&T does not Unlock iPhone 4S . Since they are still in contract. Thats what i got unlocked. I wouldnt waste money on a iPhone 4 when i know AT&T can unlock it for free.

Why would you pay $130 for a 4S unlock when you can run the Gevey SIM for $15? unless you are on a CDMA 5.1 phone.

AT&T iPhone 4S 5.1 even though can be unlocked via Gevey sim but its better to have a factory Unlocked phone since then with every Update i dont have to get a new Gevey sim and since according to my knowledge basebands on iphone 4S cant be preserved. I thought that getting it factory unlocked would be the wise option. Plus i got it at a good deal on craigslist.
