If it is out of contract, call at&t. They will do it for free.

I bought this phone from ebay. Now my contract is going to be over and I am thinking of switching the carrier.

It was few years ago, AT&T unlocked my iphone bought from craigslist . All they require is you still have service with them, completed 2 years contract, the phone is not stolen. When I called, I was using the iphone that i bought off craigslist, one week still remaining in the contract (my service contract, not the iphone person's contract). I told the CSR that I was going to Nepal for vacation and need to unlock the phone to use it over there. She said, since I only have one week left in the contract, it was not a good idea to ask me call back in a week, so she accepted my unlock request. I received AT&T email next day that my iphone was unlocked. I don't know how AT&T works these days, but definitely give it a shot. Call them. If one CSR cannot help, call back again! It also depends upon person to person. AT&T has empowered its employees, so they have pretty much right to do anything. I remember calling them to waive my overage charges all the time and they always did.  Last edited: 04-Nov-13 02:28 PM

Why bother. Just pay 3.99 on ebay. That's what I did. It's simple and immediate.  BTW I also did it with AT&T before. They said they unlocked it but it never happened. Upon calling them they blamed it on apple saying apple dropped the ball. I called apple they asked me to call AT&T back. Eventually they figured it out and unlocked it, but after at least 2-3 hours on the phone and multiple calls. Time is money. It's worth paying $3.99 than going through all the hassle.

Hmm. I think ebay has removed all those ads now for IMEI unlock. I don't know what's up. You may have to go the hard way with AT&T.
