How to Unlock an iPhone with AT&T

As expected, you can now unlock an iPhone that is out of contract with AT&T. The process is straight forward and simple assuming you meet the basic requirements.
Requirements:

• iPhone not in contract with AT&T, either having completed a contract or purchased without contract
• AT&T account in good standing
• iPhone IMEI number

If you meet those requirements, proceed:

Unlock an iPhone Out of Contract with AT&T

1. Locate the iPhone IMEI number and make a note of it:
2. Tap Settings then tap General
3. Tap ?About? and scroll down to find ?IMEI?
4. Call AT&T either by dialing 611 from the iPhone, or call 1-800-331-0500 and then dial 0010 to immediately speak to a representative and skip the hold time (International users dial 1-800-335-4685)
5. Request your iPhone to be unlocked, provide the IMEI number of the device, and then wait for the instructions to be emailed to you

AT&T will initiate a request to unlock the iPhone and then you have to restore the iPhone through iTunes to complete the device unlock. With the device unlocked, a micro-SIM from T-Mobile or other compatible networks will now work in the iPhone.
