Check if your iPhone is eligible for the AT&T Official unlock and learn how to unlock your iPhone officially with AT&T and use it on any carrier you want.
As we all know by this time, AT&T has started unlocking iPhone that are out of contract. But this is done under some criteria that Apple and AT&T has set while releasing the iPhone. To get your device unlocked with AT&T, you should either be out of contract (The contract period is over for you with AT&T) or you purchased an iPhone without contract from AT&T.
Once you are through with the above requirement, you will have to make sure that you don’t have any standing balance in your AT&T account. This might cause some problem with AT&T if you’re not clearing it. And finally, you need to get your IMEI Number of your iPhone.
