27 for the day? Wow, how long does it take to do one?


Update to all potential unlockers: I'm at 22.5 hours and have not received conformation from unlockwithsam that my phone is unlocked yet. I still have an hour and a half until I reach the 24 hour mark. Keeping my fingers crossed. 😀

Alright everyone SATNAM was able to complete my unlock in 24 hours and 55 min. Other than that, SATNAM was great, he communicated very well and more or less completed it on time. I give him a #... UNLOCKWITHSAM is LEGIT I have confirmed

Does anyone know if I can plug into itunes and get the "Unlocked" message without putting in a non-AT&T SIM? I'll let everyone know if the unlock worked as soon as I can get the SIM issue figured out. Other than that, SATNAM was great, he communicated very well and more or less completed it on time. I give him a #... As long as it works I would recommend UNLOCKWITHSAM to anyone trying to unlock. I will update this post ASAP confirming that the unlock works

I cannot seem to find iPhone unlocking service on the site? And how much?

You will need a sim.
Even an AT&T will give you the itunes message after a restore.
 
Unlockwithsam

+1 with UNLOCKWITHSAM. Can confirm he's the real deal. Unlock was completed about an hour or 2 after the 24 hour period which I was more then happy with. E-mail sent after unlock was complete. Happy camper going to Bangkok in 40 days and can use one of their SIMs over there 😀
 
Sam is fantastic! Great communication and very helpful. I wouldn't hesitate to do business with him again in the future!
 
problem activating unlock

I have come across this problem before. Try this:-

1. use the original white cable which came with your phone
2. update itunes
3. try the unlock procedure again.

Should work now.

Had my ATT iPhone "unlocked" using swiftunlocks.com couple weeks ago but it only works with ATT sim card. Tried TMobile and it does not work at all. Interesting is that IMEI shows phone is unlocked. TMobile and Apple Store genius guy also confirmed the phone shows unlocked in their systems but it acts like it is still locked. Nobody can figure out why it only works with ATT sim cards. Very frustrating.

I got my iP5 unlocked yesterday by UnlockWithSam, great service and realible! Before going to Sam, I went with SwiftUnlocks but all I got was a refund and waste of time... Next time I will most definitely go with UnlockWithSam.
 
I just ordered an unlock from Sam however I don't have a t mobile SIM card. I do however have a sprint sim. Can I use that one instead? I'm trying to go to tmobile with my recently purchased iphone 5.

Yes you can use that sim as a tester to make sure the phone would actually accept a different SIM card. You really just need any SIM card in the phone while it restores to get the "your iPhone is unlocked" screen.
 
Would it be less expensive to sign up for cheapest At&T plan and do 5 unlocks by using this account. Then cancel it and do it again. At&T does unlocks after the phone is paid off, when someone does an upgrade (14 days after), and even when on contract but after at least 12 months (based on my experience in the past). I simply check IMEI with apple warranty to see if its older than 12 months.
Also iPhone does not have to be active on original At&T account to be unlocked.

No, they only do unlocks on qualified iphone devices that comes with an extensive list of requirements.
You cant just open an account and start unlocking random iphones that were never activated on that account. Here's their requirements:

Customer-Specific Requirements
• Postpaid Phones and Tablets with a Service Commitment: Account is in good standing (i.e., it has no past due amount or unpaid balance owed AT&T), and all contract obligations, including any Service Commitment, associated with the device to be unlocked have been fully satisfied. The Service Commitment associated with a given device may be satisfied in one of the following ways:◦ Fulfillment of the Service Commitment by expiration of any contractual term
◦ Upgrading to a new device under AT&T standard or early upgrade policies. Note: the customer must wait 14 days after the device upgrade has been completed to request an unlock of the previous device.
◦ Payment of any applicable Early Termination Fee
•The AT&T Mobile Device has been paid for in full.
• The AT&T Mobile Device has not been reported lost or stolen.
 
Hey Guys

Just an update from Satnam:

ALL ORDERS PLACED TODAY DURING 7PM WINDOW ARE COMPLETE!

Yup...what the other guy said. Use ANY SIM card. even AT&T.


Actually you really don't even need the iphone to be restored through itunes. If you do a "erase all content and settings" then reactivate from the activation screen, you're unlocked!

I would activate them on my account one at the time and request unlocks separately.

I still don't think it would work but you can give it a shot if you want.
If they're still tied up under contract with another account it wont matter if you put your sim in and try to have them unlocked.
If they're not out of contract they wont do it.
