If you are out of contract, you can get it unlocked. Google for AT&T iphone unlock. There is a link to an AT&T page. Fill out the form and you will get a message about a day later. Restore your phone and it is unlocked.
Thanks. What do you mean by out of contract? I am over 2 years and eligible for an upgrade.
Your contract was 2 years. If you have had your current iPhone for at least 2 years, it is out of contract. I had mine unlocked. I need to have my wife's unlocked.
sweet i put in the request to have it unlocked. They did say 5-7 business days though.

Unfortunately for me I was so succesful that I don't really get the oppourtunity to sell my old kit any more. The ipad 2 went to my girlfriend when I got the 3, and my iphone 4 will be going to my mum.
Damn you apple for make videoconferencing so easy that my mum can use it.

I'd dearly love to do it but thanks to a misplaced car key there's a hairline small horizontal scratch near the top which means I wouldn't get much for it I suspect. I suspect a buffer could get it out but all the buffer guys are like "NO! It might wreck the phone". Well I suppose that's a possibility. 32 gig iphone4 too.
Still maybe if I sell this and my wife's old 32 gig 4 that got dropped I could get enough to get a 32 gig 5. Maybe.

I have an unlocked 32gig black iPhone 4, which is in pristine shape, though I've had it naked this whole time. I'm throwing in the case Apple gave me for free (still in its unopened box), and the car mount, as it will not fit the new iPhone. I also have the never-used earphones, and the original box.
My friend is buying the lot for $350.

Gazelle.com is offering me $400 for my 64GB 4S. It was recently replaced by Apple, so its flawless. The thing is until the announcement, I'm not sure I want to deal with the upgrade.
Besides, I have Applecare + on it and I assume there is no refund or ability to transfer to the iPhone 5.
Decisions, decisions....

I am selling my AT&T iphone 4. I put in a request to have my phone unlocked. Once It gets unlocked and I restore it can the potential buyer put their t-mobile sim card in and it will work? They want to test it out first before buying. Typically after a restore don't you need to connect it to itunes first? Thanks
You can cancel your Applecare+ and get a pro-rated refund with what is remaining. I am doing the same thing.

You can cancel Applecare+ on your existing phone and receive a pro-rated refund for the remainder of the plan.
You can? Where can this be done? Online or over the phone at Apple Customer Service.
I would think either over the phone or at an Apple store?

Two iPhone 4S 32GB Black
Two locked in prices online (ship by 9/22):
Amazon - $395 Amazon Gift Card
Best Buy - $351 BB Gift Card
Im picking up my iPhone at Best Buy so I'll likely do an in-store trade in and use the gift cards to pay for the new phones. The market is just too flooded (and shifty) nowadays to bother with doing it myself.
