Could only get 3GS unlocked, iPhone 4 (when I got it) not 2 years old yet.
How long did you have to wait between submitting the ticket and receiving the unlock?

I called AT&T at 1:00PM, just restored around 3:30PM and unlocked.

Did AT&T representative give you unlock code while you were on the phone? Mine took my email and said that the code and instruction will be emailed within 48 hours. Strange....
I have 6 iphone 4s all NOT on contract and i called in today and 4 different people gave me crap and were like oh we need you to fax in a receipt to show you paid full price n I'm like who keeps a receipt? I'm pretty sure all one has to do is send the imei numbers to apple n ill be good n nobody would get in trouble this is so annoying cause non of my lines are on contract i just want to unlock cause i travel outside the country a lot n it would be WAY cheaper to put in a local sim in that country than use att..
I got it done on my 64GB 4S a few hours ago. I originally submitted an unlock yesterday but it didn't seem to go through. I resubmitted today, and it came instantly.
You don't need to restore. You just need to deactivate the phone. SAM works great for that. Then activate it through iTunes with a foreign SIM or use SAM to spoof a foreign SIM
How do you go about doing that? That would save me loads of time...
Alright so here's my story. I called twice; once to unlock my iPhone 3GS, and another to unlock my sister's iPhone 3GS. Both calls successful in creating a case.
I NEVER had an account with AT&T. My sister and I both got iPhones off craigslist, etc, solely for use with T-Mobile.
I used Skype to call 1-800-3310500, then pressed 1, then pressed 0 to get to an AT&T service representative.
The first thing they ask is for your AT&T Wireless number.
Since I don't have an AT&T number, I replied "Sorry I don't currently have an AT&T account; I'm calling just to ask a question."
Then they ask for a phone number in case the call gets disconnected. I give them my T-Mobile cell number in both cases, but I guess any phone number should be fine.
They then asked what I would like to inquire about.
I reply (something along the lines of), "I have an old iPhone lying around [that a friend gave me, or whatever excuse], and I heard that AT&T is able to unlock iPhones now. I would like to know if I could get mine unlocked even though I don't currently have an account with AT&T."
They reply that it should be fine. Asked for my name, email, and IMEI. They don't do the unlock right away though; they say they submit a case to their "unlocking team", and they say it should be resolved by April 17.
The same thing happened for both phone calls in a row. No rejections (unlike other people. I must be lucky ).
If others are in the same situation as me (iPhone from craigslist, no AT&T account, etc), you should try to give them a call!!! It could work
they unlocked my 3g, without hassle, but refused to unlock my 4 until june even though I have upgraded to the 4s and it is not on a contract ... it sits in a box unused.
I find it irritating that they are unlocking some peoples old 4 but others they refuse till june.
I don't need it, and am not selling it, so waiting till june isn't an issue, but their crappy hit and miss applications of their own policies is annoying...
BUT hey it IS att and half the time they seem to work on pissing people off so I guess it is nothing new
I just did it over chat too.
It took 5-6 minutes.
Im currently locked on contract with AT&T for my 4S and got my old iphone 4 unlocked.
Pretty easy.
