Any AT&T Wireless customers willing to lend me a hand here?

[munkymanmatt]

Hey all, long time lurker, first time poster here.

I'm based in Ireland and bought my girlfriend an old 3gs a long time ago, she's still using it as we are tight for cash at the moment, things are pretty bad over here.

When I bought the phone it was jailbroken, we left it that way for a while but it got to the stage where the glitches became unbearably bad. I removed the jailbreak by updating iOS and the phone turned out to be network locked (d'oh!)

I rang apple and eventually found out that the phone is locked to AT&T in the USA. I then rang them and they said that unless we have the original receipt for the phone (we don't) then only an AT&T customer can get it unlocked.

Obviously AT&T don't operate over here, and I've no relations in the US that can help as none of them are on AT&T!

What I'm asking is if there's anyone here who is on AT&T who could do me a huge favour and ring AT&T to get the phone unlocked for me?

Thanks
M

You don't need an AT&T customer to unlock the iPhone for you. Just go to swiftunlocks.com, pay them $2 and it should be unlocked shortly after. You don't need to send the iPhone in and it doesn't need to be jailbroken either.

That site says they send you a code, but iphones dont unlock like that? You restore the phone and apple's activation server allows the phone to be unlocked, how can you put a code into the phone to get that to happen? Seems dodgy to me.

You sure you went to http://www.swiftunlocks.com ?

I can't find where it says that they send you a code.

Actually those sites do work. I've had friends who have used them to unlock iPhones they bought from the U.S. For some reason they say that they will send you a code, but when you get the confirmation email, just restore it with iTunes and you will get the unlock message.

Oops, just saw it.

They just have that there for the 95% (maybe a slight exaggeration, but a lot do) of other phone types that use an unlock code. For an iPhone, the IMEI is entered into a database that determines which are unlocked. They have the ability to add to that database. They won't send you a code, they will just send you instructions on how to verify it's unlocked.

Yes, like said above.

Pay the $2 and the AT&T iphone will be officially unlocked for good.

we have sources, many just resell, but some of us have direct sources so service is guaranteed.
