AT&T Begrudgingly Unlocks iPhones

It’s finally happened: AT&T has admitted that they don’t have exclusive access to the iPhone anymore.

Seriously, looking at their behavior over the last few years, you’d think Verizon and Sprint hadn’t gotten access to it. All the issues iPhone users were complaining about persisted. AT&T was hoping to fix those problems with T-Mobile, but we all know how that turned out.

So, as of today, AT&T will unlock your phone, provided you meet the following requirements:

“…a customer’s account must be in good standing, their device cannot be[..]ociated with a current and active term commitment on an AT&T customer account, and they need to have fulfilled their contract term, upgraded under one of our upgrade policies, or paid an early termination fee.”
Of course, it’s been 100% legal to just jailbreak your iPhone for two years now, so AT&T is just a little late to this party. Although at least when they unlock your phone, you keep your warranty.

Yeah, they only do it for customers that have been with them for 2 years, good standing and it's a process to do it.....my thoughts are if I buy an iphone, do my 2 year contract then I should be able to unlock my !! if possible, ATT about 5 years too late with this

I've had my Sprint iphone unlocked ever since the day I bought it. In fact, it was never locked. [pic]

Been using it overseas now for the last 4 months+.

entirely 2 different things.

unlock- only to be capable of using other carriers.

jailbreak- to have more control over the phone in terms of customization, hacking, unlocking, etc.

att will not jailbreak your phone. only unlock it.
