Can anybody confirm I should be safely unlocked -- while this AT&T rep over email said I'm not eligible it was done previously over the phone??I sent a email request to have my 4s unlocked but AT&T took forever so I called them instead and had it unlocked over the phone (and did the restore method).
Now today I finally got this email from them saying this and am worried as I shipped my phone off already to an eBay seller who purchased it unlocked. I heard once its unlocked it is unlocked for good I sure hope so.
Got a tip for us?

I bought my Unlock from Unlock Fusion last night around 9:00 ET and just recieved my email that my 4S is Unlocked! WooHoo!! Suck it AT&T!!
Have not done the restore through iTunes as I am at work and use my Mini at home for all my syncing. But went to a seperate IMEI checker and it said my phone was indeed unlocked!
This will let me use my 4S while I'm in Ireland in 2 weeks. May do my wife's 4S as well.
Can someone who got their AT&T iPhone 5 unlocked by Unlock Fusion check the IMEI at iPhoneox.com and see if it shows up as unlocked? I got the iTunes message, but mine still says unlocked. My 4S that they unlocked shows up as unlocked on iPhoneox.com.
I'm not sure if the unlock didn't work, or if the checker just isn't accurate.
Thanks!

If I had mine supposedly unlocked by ATT would it show there?
Are you guys buying it through unlock fusions website? When I go there there is no option for iPhone 5 in the drop down menu. It just goes up to 4S.
Can someone post a link to fusion unlock? I want to unlock my i5. Thanks. Which eBay seller is trusted for unlock?
I would venture to say that Apple and iTunes are the authoritative source for this and not some 3rd party website.

unlock_fusion on ebay. Cheapest iphone5 unlock is like $8.48 today
Yep sure can. Just walk in with cash and walk out with a new phone.
America still has some benefits of other countries without having to register your cell phone with the government.
Just google Unlock Fusion and his site should be the first result but right under that should be the link for his ebay store.
For a while Apple was not allowing cash sales of iPhone to hold people to the 2/ person limit. Don't know if that's changed.
Just called up Sprint and had them unlock my 4S for free. I'm still under contract and it unlocked after I plugged it into iTunes. Just out of curiosity, do other carriers not do this for their customers?
That site showed me still locked as well. Seems it isn't working correctly.
This site shows me unlocked.
IMEI Number: 013327006xxxxxx
Warranty: September 20, 2013
Activation status: Yes
Your iPhone is: Unlocked
My phone shows up as locked on those websites. Got unlocked yesterday via unlock_fusion, and iTunes gave me the "Congratulations..." message, so I'm trusting that.
My 5 shows unlocked on this one, but locked on iphoneox.com. As others have reported.
I used unlock fusion and got the iTunes message after restore.
Nice.
My fusion unlocked i5 shows up unlocked on that site too.
