AT&T United States · from $5

Unlock your AT&T iPhone
even when AT&T says no

Permanent, by IMEI, with nothing to ship. If AT&T already turned your request down, below is the service that matches your exact case.

First: ask AT&T. It is free.

AT&T unlocks it free when your device meets these six requirements. If it does, you don't need us — do it on their site and keep your money.

  1. The device was sold by AT&T or one of its brands.
  2. It is fully paid off, with no installments left.
  3. It is not reported lost, stolen or tied to fraud.
  4. It was active on the AT&T network for at least 60 days.
  5. The line has no past-due balance.
  6. If it came from a business account, the account holder approved the unlock.

Any of them failing? Then AT&T says no — and that "no" has a specific reason. Each reason has its own service.

One service for each reason they refuse

Check the IMEI first: the carrier answers with the exact reason, and that wording tells you which one to order. The check is free.

If the order is rejected and we get refunded, you get a full refund. If we do not get refunded, there is no refund. If the order is rejected on receipt (for example, a mistyped IMEI), you get a full refund and we explain why; if it is accepted and later rejected because the IMEI belongs to another device or the device does not meet the service requirements, there is no refund. If the case is unclear, your order goes under review and we email you; you do not need to do anything.

Checks whether the device is eligible to be unlocked and, if it is, unlocks it. If it is not, you get the reason AT&T gives.

AT&T United States, not AT&T Mexico

They are two different carriers with two different locks, even though the brand name is the same. Everything on this page is for devices locked by AT&T in the United States. If your iPhone is from AT&T Mexico (Iusacell, Nextel or Unefon), check the IMEI and write to us: it is a different service.

Frequently asked questions

Won't AT&T unlock it for free?

If your device meets the six requirements above, AT&T unlocks it for free and you should ask them. We're for the cases where AT&T says no: a past-due balance, someone else's account, a device their database can't find, a frozen account.

How do I know which service I need?

Check the IMEI first. The carrier answers with the exact reason for the lock — "Past Due", "Unpaid", "Active on another account" — and that wording tells you which service to order. The basic check is free.

Does unlocking clear what I owe?

No. The device gets unlocked, but the balance stays owed. They are two separate things and it is worth knowing before you pay.

Is it permanent, or does it lock again?

It is permanent. It is recorded in the carrier database, so it survives iOS updates and SIM changes.

Do I have to ship the phone?

No. Everything is done by IMEI, remotely. You ship nothing, install nothing, and we never need your Apple ID.

What if the device is reported stolen?

We won't touch it, under any circumstances. A device flagged lost or stolen doesn't belong here — not even when the flag is a carrier mistake. Unpaid balances and contracts are a different matter: there is a service for those, because whoever owes the installments owns the phone.
