The problem i found with these $40 or so unlocks is that they only have a 50% success rate. They do not tell you that if your iphone is under contract with at&t it will usually fail.
I got refunded from a similar site, but I am just going to go with a more expensive option that has better results.
Even Chronic charges now $49.99 for AT&T iPhone 5S/C unlock.
So, $45 from guy who even doesn't accept PayPal is not fair enough
Sorry, but i paid through PayPal and received refund the same way and the last units I'd ordered were at&t i6 and 6+ for which it took up to 4 working days in the price of 100$.
China recommendations?
Another request along the lines of the previous one: I'm in China and I need a reputable unlocking service. I can't access most of the websites for services that have been listed here, and Facebook and Twitter are also out of the question. I can browse on Ebay but apparently the "buy" option is blocked here. Chinar trol u, lol!
Can anyone recommend a service in China, or at least accessible from China? Thanks!
(BTW this is a newer model iPhone 3GS running iOS 6.1.3 with a newer baseband as well. All other options are out.)

I have one other question too -- I'm confused about how this all works. What is the end product these services actually provide you with? Most of the listings on Ebay include delivery by mail, but I had assumed they just gave you a code that could be delivered by email or just automatically unlocked the phone. Once again, thanks for any help!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the iPhone 6/6 Plus coming from T-Mobile already factory unlocked?
I am now unlocked!
Great since i am going away next month
Which service did you use? Sorry if you mentioned it already.
I used a random ebay unlock, and was denied (and refunded) due to the fact that they failed to mention they could not unlock if I was in contract.
I was reffered by a friend to Circuit Dump and they took care of it for me within a couple of days for a pretty good price. Honestly the price was fair, and I wanted to get it done ASAP as we know that the unlocks car dissapear at any time.
You can see their facebook page for more details.

Call this guy here: 847-701-5125.
If he has the service for your phone I'm sure he will take care of you.
Goodluck

Anyone know any actually free ways to check SIM unlock status for iPhones? It seems like http://iunlocker.net/ and http://iphoneimei.info/ always say "Unknown" under the unlock status. Thanks everyone.
There is no free web to tell current SIM status. I guess all of them are paid now!
There is no software unlock method for iPhone 4S/5/5C/5S/6! Please, don't provide misleading information! And the site you mentioned is 100% scam.
They don't support 5 and up. Only way to know is by putting in a SIM from another network and seeing the result on the screen.
If it says "Invalid SIM" = Locked
