Wonder how long it will take till we see ebay auctions about getting iphones unlocked from AT&T?
A rep working for AT&T could make a killing by entering IMEI numbers to the unlock database.

Well in the past we seen people adding unlimited iphone data to your account for a fee via ebay and even adding a FAN discount on your AT&T plan.
I wouldnt be surprised since so many AT&T employees have acess to the system.
Just did a chat session and my phone is unlocked. No questions asked. Followed the script about "i'm not on att please unlock IMEI". Got follow up email from att with pdf file. Restored it in itunes and got "Your iphone has been unlocked message"
very nice and fast. about time
Yeah I've seen. I wanted to get a bigger FAN discount from someone on here that could do it, but unfortunately, I had a business account which can be changed. O wells. I'm currently in chatting with ATT, so hopefully they cant unlock my iphone 4S!!!
UPDATE: I just got off with chat and the representative told me my unlock was authorized. I got an email literally 2 mins after closing the window. It was for a white 64gb iphone 4S. Now, I have to wait till I get home to see if it's actually unlocked!!!
Was your 4S on contract or bought at full price btw?
I have found a direct link for all of those who do not wish to call AT&T. In all truth this is a backdoor to their chat technical support. It works because AT&T does not use a in house hosted chat so all it takes is a crafty tweak to the liveperson url (a well known live chat support external hosted service).
You may be waiting for a 20-30 mins but it beats calling right?

and I wrote about my experience here: http://geekmeans.com/so-you-want-to-unlock-your-att-iphone
ATT announced that starting April 18th all smartphones that want data have to be on a $25 or $50 per month phone plan, in addition to data. So the smallest package is now $30.
A few minutes with an iClarified tutorial will get your 3G unlocked. Add a GoPhone AT&T SIM and you're rolling with phone and text for $10. a month
Add data with 'unlockit.co.nz and you're in business.
No need to spend a ton of time with AT&T and get nowhere...
I bought it from craigslist. The person I bought it from said her daughter didn't deserve one so that's why she sold it. I'm speculating that the phone was still under contract unless they paid the ETF.
Also, I just got off with ATT again to see if I can unlock my girlfriends iphone 4. They told me it was done as a "bulk transaction." I asked what it meant, and she told me it was already in the process of being unlocked prior to me contacting them. Could AT&T be unlocking all off contract iphone's for the hell of it?!!!
Wonder if I should pester them again via the on line chat?
How long did it take for AT&T to submit your unlock before you were able to restore and have it successfully unlocked?
No, AT&T doesn't unlock iphones without asking permission, the customers have to initiate the call and request an unlock then they will unlock it.
I think I will try anyway after finishing this podcast. The power of positive thinking paying off?
If you believe, the universe will give it to you
Anyone received email like me? Does this mean ATT unlock my iPhone?

Just got the same email, thank you very much
You do not need an unlocked phone to use AT&T Go Phone prepaid plans. I have used a 3GS, 4 and now a 4S all locked to AT&T on my Go Phone prepaid plan. All you need is to add the APN to get data working, thats it. No unlock or jailbreak required.
I just went to plug in to see if was unlocked and the email telling me I am now unlocked came through on my current iPhone. Going to restore now. I last chatted with AT&T on Monday afternoon. Lets see if it works!
I haven't gotten any email from AT&T .... When did you called in? do you have an account with AT&T?
The first restore did nothing. Tried it again after that and got the unlocked screen. Woohoo!
~However, ATT announced two weeks ago that starting April 18th if any smartphone user wants data using a Go Phone plan, they must have either the $25 or $50 voice package, in addition to data. If you don't upgrade to a $25 or $50 per month plan your data will stop working and expire, period. That's not just an iPhone policy, it's all smartphone's on the Go Phone plans. ~
