Congrats, did you use ATTUnlock? How long did it take?
Like I mentioned earlier, I used AT&T's unlock portal directly. Within hours I got the e-mail to go ahead and perform the factory reset and backup restore. I only got around to it today because I use my phone for work so I can only take downtime on the weekends.
You didn't actually have to reset and restore. You could have just put in a non-AT&T sim, but congrats.
Didn't have access to a non AT&T sim to do this.
Yeah but it was already unlocked...so you would have been good to go when you did have access to one...Which is the only purpose of getting an unlock anyway. Just more of a heads up message.
I've tried a few times and got the denial "You havent fulfilled your service contract." email. How often can you try without getting flagged? Daily, every few hours, etc?
I tried about 70 times over the course of about 20 days. I was denied everytime and then went with a service.
There are no actual instructions like the email that I received before. The online status checker also doesn't have any instructions. My other iPhone unlock request had full instructions to restore the phone with original sim that came with the phone. Is it still unlocked?Unlock request number: XXXXXX
Thank you for contacting AT&T about unlocking your mobile device.
Congratulations! Here are your unlock instructions:
Questions? Please call 800.331.0500, or dial 611 from your AT&T wireless phone.
Can you elaborate, I got the Congrats email but I havent had the time to do a restore. Is the phone already unlocked or do I still have to do a restore?You didn't actually have to reset and restore. You could have just put in a non-AT&T sim, but congrats.

Thanks, I will try that. Only thing I need to do is find someone with a non-ATT sim.Your imei number has been removed from the list of locked phones. Wherever it is kept I don't know. All you have to do is put a non AT&T sim in and it will check over the network and work. Simple as that there is no reason to plug your phone into a computer.

Shouldn't be that hard to find.
I went to T mobil and asked if they could put a SIM card in for me.
Anything remotely similar for T-Mobile phone?
Apologies if it was discused already in the thread
Thanks
I thought T-Mobile phones came unlocked already. What are you trying to do?
my broinlaw has a 5s with tmobile but it seems locked. I think he got it on contract or financed it? Sorry im not sure what options tmobile has as im in canada.
I just wanted to unlock it
