iPhone 2G?
Has anybody tried this with an iPhone 2G? I have an iPhone 2G from several years ago (when ATT was still the only one selling it). I bought it at full price from the Apple store, jailbroken/unlock it to use on Tmobile network. So, technically the iPhone 2G was actually never under any contract, and it has never been used with the ATT network. Nevertheless, it was still unlocked to ATT simply because they were the only one selling it at the time. Any advice? I'll probably try calling them myself today anyways. I'll come back for an update just in case anybody wants to know as well.
Update 1: Just got off the phone with ATT representative. Looks like they still have some of my file on their database (I had a 3GS with ATT about two years ago). The representative didn't seems to care that it was a iPhone 2G, and I'm pretty sure any record of the phone doesn't appear under my account since it was never registered under my name. I was on hold for about a minute, so the representative can look up the whole unlock story to confirm what I was telling him. Anyways, I was told to wait for a confirmation email from ATT regarding the unlock. I'll update once I have more information.
Update 2: Called ATT again about the unlock situation. I was originally told it was going to take 48-72 hours. But, looking at my last update it has certainly been more than 72 hours. Just like any "good" ATT representative (and why I switched to Verizon), they admitted the first representative had giving me the wrong information and it was not suppose to be 72 hours. So as of now, it looks like I'm going to have to wait until the 16th as well, to get my unlock email. Fortunately, it doesn't look like they are having any issues with my iPhone 2G, so I suppose that a bit of good news.
update 3: So today is the 16th, and according to ATT I should be expecting an email or some sort. So I called up ATT this morning, just to see whats going on. The representative told me he doesn't (or can't) see any additional progress on my case, but the case is also not closed yet. He then explain to me the when a case is "not closed yet" that means ATT is still reviewing the case and has not gone out to Apple yet. This is the point when I got annoyed, I politely told the representative "So at first you told me 24-72 hours, during the second call not only did you tell me it will get done by the 16th but you also put the blame on Apple for being slow (by a supervisor at the time). and just now you are telling me that ATT is still working on the case!". So I'm left with two options which is to wait or to submit another case. I told him there is no point submitting a new case considering you guys are probably just be doing the same thing anyways. So after three phone calls and default on multiple deadlines (with endless extension) ATT is still working on it....Way to go ATT, I'm so glad I switched away from you, same old ATT.
Update 4: Alright, it's 18th now and still nothing. Frankly I'm not sure what to do at this point. I don't even know if anybody is reading this update anymore. I was told by the representative on the 16th that the only way to do this is to get the case out again, which would probably take another 8 days. I asked to speak to the department that is working on this but he said there was no way to him to get me there. So I'm not sure what to do at this point, maybe I will try to call again.
Update 5: So this would be the last update, I finally got it to work. I'm still not a big fan of ATT though. Anyways, I wrote a new post (Link:
