Unlock iPhone 4 through AT&T

After keeping the iPhone in the shelf for several months, we heard the official announcement from AT&T about the unlocking process. We immediately called AT&T to find the reality. We were not very confident since I had called AT&T several times in the past asking for help to unlock but they refused to unlock the phone even though we said we had paid out all contract cancellation fees.

When we called this time, one of the menu options in their automated phone system was Press 1 if you are calling to unlock your iPhone. That was music to our ears!

The process was very easy and simple this time. See the steps we followed which results in unlocking our AT&T iPhone:

1. Called AT&T customer service

2. Gave our original AT&T cell phone number which we used with the iPhone more than a year ago and theIMEI number of the phone.

3. AT&T representative verified the record to make sure we had paid out all contract cancellation fees. In case you did not cancel your contract but completed your 2 year contract period, that would qualify.

4. AT&T representative updated their system and recorded our request for unlocking. They suggested us to wait for an email from Apple explaining the unlocking process.

5. Within a day, we got an email from Apple asking us to do a simple process - backup the iPhone using iTunes and then restore from the backup.

6. We went to Airtel office in India, applied for a new Micro SIM to match the iPhone. Within 2 minutes, we got the new Micro Sim and it got activated within 10 minutes.

7. We came home from Airtel, connected iPhone to the computer, opened iTunes and selected "Backup iPhone".

8. Once the backup was completed, we chose "Restore from Backup".

When the phone was restored from backup, Apple pushed the unlock code to our phone which unlocked the phone permanently!

Here is the welcome message we got:



My wife was literally dancing because it has been more than a year she was struggling to use her iPhone 4 in India with Airtel service provider.

However, the joy did not last long. Even though the iTunes showed the phone is successfully activated, the phone was still showing "No Service" error. My wife was about to explode but I suggested her to complete the wizard in iTunes and click "Continue" until she get out of the wizard to complete the restore process. 

Once we completed the restore wizard in iTunes, the phone started flashing and then it gave the moment of celebration to us with the label "Airtel" appearing in top left corner of the phone.

The one year long wait seem to have come to an end. We made couple of calls from the iPhone 4 and the unlocked iPhone 4 appears to be working great with Airtel.

We are using an iPhone 4, but I am pretty sure the same process will work for iPhone 4S. Also, even though we are using Airtel, you should be able to follow same unlock process and should be able to use your iPhone with any other service provider in India.
