Anybody get an AT&T sanctioned Unlock?

I finished it, and I have a quick question-

How would I test this unlocking since I'm on AT&T and I don't know anyone w/ T-Mobile.

Are there any options to test it?
 
I got my unlock today for my iPhone 4 that I purchased 2 years ago today... Had to fight on the phone with AT&T for almost an hour though, to get it done.

Back in March, my wife needed a new phone. She decieded to get the Galaxy S 2 Skyrocket. Due to the fact that she had to use my line's upgrade for it and we had to do sim swaps (GS2 Skyrocket only uses mini sim) with new sims for the both of us, it placed the contract back on the iPhone 4 until 2014!!! When I brought up the fact that I had a receipt that I purchased this phone on 6/25/10, the reps looked up more information on the IMEI and saw that it was initally activated on 6/25/10 and gave me the unlock.

Spent about 30 min in online chat with the rep. They checked the imei on my account and came back with the approval. Received the unlock email within 10 min of the chat. Now need to unlock the phone after work. Cheers AT&T! Thank you.

As per at&t policy for eligibility requirements for unlocking iPhone :

http://www.att.com/esupport/article....id=TJbFQwIs5Rk

In addition, AT&T will unlock an iPhone for: (i) an active and deployed member of the military who is a current AT&T customer in good standing and is able to provide AT&T with deployment verification; and (ii) a person who purchased the iPhone from an authorized location at the "no commitment" price and can provide proof of purchase.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just call them and specified them the 2nd part (in bold) but they still would not accept to unlock it. They asked me to find an at&t customer on some forums.

So anyone willing to help me please.

Hello All,

So as above stated, I got the email from ATT, but now I got home, plugged in the phone, no "Congrats" message when I plug in, and I've done a Restore from my backup. Did I do something wrong? I did get an email (from ATT) telling me what to do to complete my Unlock.

***Update***: I think the phone is unlocked. Just checked an IMEI check site and it says it's unlocked. Guess I'll need to try to find a non ATT sim to test it out.

Hi everyone,
I acquired an iPhone and entered the IMEI number here:

http://www.simunlocks.com/unlock/iphone-info

and gave me back this result:

IMEI: 0126570060xxxxx
Model: IPHONE 4 16GB BLACK
Version: 5.1.1
Serial: 66113FZAA4S
Warranty coverage: Out of Warranty
Warranty period: 2011-04-25 / -
Purchase country: US
Activated: Yes
Carrier: AT&T USA
SIM Locked: Yes

It says SIM locked and I tried my current SIM (we don't have locked phones in my country)
and it doesn't do anything. So I read and I have to unlock it. How can I do this? Can anyone help me?

Log in to your AT&T account. That is what you ought to do next!
 
I contacted the tech support online chat on 6/27 to unlock my iPhone 4 (originally purchased on launch day '10, but this is a warranty replacement).

Guy gave me minimal trouble, asking for the imei, location of purchase, price purchased etc. He then said my unlock was "pending." I tried a restore a few hours later and did not get any unlock successful status.

I never received any emails from AT&T with instructions or confirmation or anything.

I called customer care (611) three days later and of course their "systems were updating" and couldnt help me. Again, I tried a restore again to no avail.

I called back yesterday and after 40 or so minutes they verified my phone was now unlocked and I to restore in iTunes. I just finished restoring and finally got unlock confirmed!
 
Hello everybody!
Help please with Unlocking the iPhone 4.
IMEI 012845009597224
Cheque account and buying AT & T does not.
Many thanks in advance!
 
After having a similar experience with their online chat I just went to the local store. Rep was a bit hesitant at first but was able to setup my new (off eBay) phone no problem. Maybe lucked out but was deff worth the try!

I did it. I log in my account. Nothing new. I again wrote to ATT.
This is the next response from ATT:
"Dear Customer,
Thank you for contacting AT&T Customer Care about unlocking your iPhone. In order to request iPhone unlock, you must first log in to your myAT&T account.
Please review AT&T’s general eligibility requirements for unlocking iPhone."

I understand that ATT needs a phone number or ATT account number to unlock my phone. The phone number I have not. And what is the account number? This is the same as my AT&T Access ID?

I would be grateful for your help.
 
They wanted me to fax in a receipt from 2009 for an old 3GS I had laying around.
I told them I will but I dont have it.
Supposedly if they dont get it within 48 hours the unlock will be rejected or something. Anyone get an unlock but never faxed in anything to them?
How do they require people to save receipts from 2-3 years back? I bet most people dont have it.
