Hey guys! I just bought an iPhone 4 locked to AT&T off someone who was the original AT&T customer. He told me he had sent in the unlock request to AT&T and in about 72 hours I should receive the unlock for my 4. So its been about 3 days now, and I haven't gone no email, I went on eBay and purchased a factory unlock service through a high rated eBay seller, gave him my IMEI and he said it would take 1-2 business days. It's been about 2 days already. I am seriously growing impatient with this issue. Does anybody here at MacRumors know how long this process takes? or if I'm even going to receive my factory unlock.With this being said, I even called AT&T and a rep said that they can't check on the process even though I have the request number, so they directed me to Apple, and an advisor at Apple said they can't check either. I'm like :confused::confused: So any help here would be great. Or anyone who has experienced this kind of factory unlock issue? Thanks!
 
I used an online service that was VERY fast after running into issues with AT&T unlocking my iPhone 4s so i could use it overseas.
You can try entering your IMEI at this site and see if it says it's unlocked:

Also, I'd call AT&T again and see what they say.
Other than that, I would suggest that your only option is to wait it out.
