this may not even be the right place to post this. But I am at my wits end and out of options. I just recently purchased a iPhone SE brand new through straight talk. Given I listened to a couple idiot friends of mine that said I could more than likely use my ATT SIM card and it would work just fine. Well, as you can guess that's not the case. Straight talk phones are now carrier locked. Ive researched upon research getting a third party to unlock the phone given that you have to have the service for 12 months in order for straight talk to do it for you. My old phone is screwed hince the reason I got the new one, and I'm desperate. Does anyone know any third party sites that ARE LEGIT and can unlock his forsaken phone for me? Thanks.

(As I said it's brand new, no bad imei or whatever. Brand new.)
 
swiftunlocks.com would be your best bet.

If that's too expensive, try checking eBay. Just go with someone that has a decent feedback score.

You may want to take the Straight Talk iPhone back to where you purchased it for a refund, and then buy an AT&T prepaid SE 32gb for $149.99 at Target or BestBuy. I purchased one from Target and my postpaid SIM works fine out of the box.

Why not return it?
