4 years ago I bought an iPhone T-mobile in the USA secondhand, it recently stopped accepting SIM cards, it turned out that the former owner did not pay the contract. How to unlock iPhone?

Hello, Anatoly.

Almost all smartphones that are tied to a specific operator can be untied from it. Of course, everything depends on the operator and his policy; in some cases, a short dialogue with technical support is enough, and in others, you will have to collect a whole package of documents and wait several weeks.

Today there are a large number of services on the Internet for untying the iPhone (and other smartphones). We will not recommend anyone, search for yourself, read reviews, pay attention to work experience.

Most of these services have access to representatives of operators who can remove the code of a blocked device from the database and the smartphone will work with any SIM cards. Or they simply perform all the necessary procedures for unbinding for you.

The iPhone may simply be tied to an operator, in which case it will only work with its SIM cards, or it may be completely blocked (blacklisted). In this case, he will not see any inserted SIM card at all. A device can be blocked for a number of reasons: theft, the device being declared missing, failure to comply with the terms of the contract, etc.

In most cases, such devices can be unlocked through similar services. Many of them initially ask for the IMEI code of the device and then inform about the possibility of unlocking and the cost of the service.

A few years ago, I myself untied a pair of iPhone 4 and 4S in a similar way. Everything went smoothly and quickly, and smartphones are still used to this day.

Most users of Apple technology are accustomed to believing that the procedure for decoupling an iPhone from a telecom operator is extremely complicated and requires some special knowledge. Most often this is true, but many AT&T iPhones can be unlocked after performing an extremely simple operation that anyone can do. This manual describes this method in detail.

Step 1. Go to the official one unlock page smartphones on the AT&T website.

Step 3. On the page that opens, opposite the field Are you an AT&T wireless customer? check the box No. This will clarify that you are not an AT&T customer.

Step 4: Specify IMEI smartphone in the column of the same name. You can find out the IMEI of your iPhone in the menu “ Settings» → « Basic» → « About the device».

Note: The Make and Model fields will be filled in automatically.

Step 5. Enter the captcha, accept the rules and click Next.

Step 6. On the next page, enter your first name, last name, email address and click Submit. The email must be entered correctly in order for you to be able to confirm the start of the unlocking procedure.

Step 7. In the letter you received from AT&T, follow the link confirm to confirm the start of the unlocking procedure.

This is how you simply ask AT&T to unlock your iPhone. If the unlock option is available, then within the next two days the smartphone will be unlocked. You can track the status of the procedure at special page AT&T website.

After entering the IMEI and request number (indicated in the letter), the service will inform you whether the unlocking has been completed or not. If the request has not yet been processed, in the column Current Status will be indicated In Progress, as in the image below.

If everything went well and the restriction on working with other cellular operators was removed from the iPhone, in the column Current Status will appear Approved.

In most cases, AT&T service works extremely quickly. Our test iPhone was unlocked in just a few minutes!

Is it really possible to remove the lock from any iPhone from AT&T in this way? Alas, no. If the smartphone is blacklisted by the operator, there are still debts under the iPhone contract, or there are other various factors, then in such cases it will not be possible to unlock it on your own. You will have to resort to the services of professionals who carry out the Premium unlock procedure.

How to determine why it is impossible to unlock?

If the service reports that it is impossible to perform an unlock, it also clarifies why exactly this happened, showing an error message.

• This device is not eligible for an unlock at this time- this message appears if an unlock application has been submitted three times in a row. In this case, you need to wait a week.
• The account holder information you provided does not match our records- iPhone activated with AT&T SIM card. It is necessary to completely reset the smartphone and not perform subsequent activation.
• Your device seems to be active on an AT&T customer’s account. Please re-submit your device unlock request with the appropriate customer type or device information- the smartphone is linked to an active AT&T user account. Only he can apply for an unlock.
• You have not completed all the payments for your device according to your AT&T Next service agreement- there are still debts under the contract.
• Your device was reported as lost or stolen- the device is blacklisted, that is, declared by its owner as lost/stolen.
• The IMEI number XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX you entered does not match a device compatible with the AT&T network- if you entered the IMEI correctly, it means the iPhone is not tied to the AT&T operator.
• You haven’t fulfilled your service contract- the terms of the contract are not fulfilled.

Owners of locked (operator-locked) iPhones during the period of owning the phone faced a huge number of obstacles that prevented them from fully working with the gadget. The main problem, of course, was and remains the problem of the lack of constant and reliable communication.
To force the iPhone to catch the network of an operator other than AT&T, it is necessary to carry out a number of manipulations that are sometimes beyond the power of the average PC user.

In order to save money, many of us ordered an iPhone in the USA with the help of eBay, traveling friends, or purchased it from sellers in Russia. The problem of the inability to make calls scared few people - there would be an unlock, many believed in it. There really was an unlock, but it was only compatible with the first version of the modem. The rest had to be content with the player or use Gevey-sim, which in itself is not very convenient.

But in the spring of this year, a miracle happened for all those who were waiting for the unlock - the American operator AT&T initiated the procedure for officially unlocking phones whose contract had expired. In order to unlink your phone from the operator and freely use it with SIM cards of any operators, all you had to do was call overseas and ask to “unlock” the device.

At first, the operator’s call center employees, with little understanding, unlocked even those iPhones whose contract had not yet expired. However, the influx of applicants somewhat confused AT&T representatives, after which it was decided to complicate the procedure a little.

At the moment, if you do not want to contact the operator and clarify the possibility of unlocking your iPhone, you can pay from 60 to 80 dollars and entrust this procedure to people offering such services. Naturally, unofficially.

We, in turn, having a blocked American phone in our hands, decided to personally reach AT&T specialists and ask them to unlock our phone. The first step was to write a letter with an unlock request to the support service email address ( ) with the following content:

My name is Ilya and i’am curious if there’s any chance to have my iPhone 4 AT&T unlocked. I bought it used on ebay that’s why i don’t have any receipts or contract number. But some of my friends got their iPhones successfully unlocked without such info.

Here is IMEI of my iPhone:

Thank you in advance.

With best regards, Ilya Kazakov

Hello!

My name is Ilya, and I'm wondering if there is any way to unlock my iPhone 4. I bought it used on eBay, so I don't have any receipts or contract information. But some people I know have unlocked their phones without providing this kind of information.

My IMEI number:

Thanks in advance!

In response, we immediately received a letter from the mail bot stating that in order to complete the unlocking procedure, we need to log into our account on the AT&T website and continue our actions from there. We did not have any opportunity to create an account with AT&T, since this requires being a network subscriber and having a phone number. It was decided to get around this inconvenience by talking with an operator representative in the support chat. I’ll say right away that we were never able to contact the operator, since there were never any available assistants.

It's decided, let's call. To call in the USA, we used Skype, in which we dialed the number 1-800-335-4685 and, following the prompts, got to the operator. Since the time here and in the USA is somewhat different, you should remember that they start working there from 18:00 Moscow time. However, there is an opinion that it is better to call at 2-3 o’clock in the morning, when the operators are already tired and your requests are more likely to be heard.

This is where the fun started. None of the responding carriers would consider unlocking my phone without proof of purchase from AT&T. Moreover, the phone must be activated on the AT&T network in order for representatives of the cellular operator to even begin to consider your request. For clarity, we recorded the telephone conversation for you and provided it with subtitles:

Thus, it turns out that to unlock the phone at the moment it is necessary for the owner to call, who activated the phone on the AT&T network. This does not mean that if you do not know the history of your phone, you can give up hope that your phone will be able to make calls on domestic networks without unnecessary delays. But you should remember that officially, without the necessary documents and without being activated on the AT&T network, AT&T representatives will not unlock your phone and will not even consider your application.

All unlocking methods that sellers on eBay or any Apple-related site offer you are unofficial and, accordingly, no matter what guarantees they offer you, you should not count on them.
