Hey guys,
So, I have my iPhone 3GS, and I would like to unlock it permanently.
But unfortunately , I can't chat with the ATT agents on their website.
It says I need an ATT account, and I can't open one because I'm not an ATT customer and I don't have a wireless number.
Has anyone unlocked their ATT iPhone recently?
Is there another way of chatting with them without an account?
I need to unlock my iPhone really bad.
did you buy the phone online or did you buy it at apple at the non-commitment price?
If not a customer and did not pay the non-commitment price AT&T won't unlock.
if so just buy an IMEI unlock online, check the rellevant threads in this forum

I bought it long time ago, not from apple or anything, bought it without a contact from someone.
Many people have unlocked their iPhone without an ATT account, I'm sure it's possible

Not anymore, when the IMEI unlock was introduced briefly AT&T accepted everyone, they changed their policy:
What are the eligibility requirements for unlocking iPhone?
All requests for iPhone unlock must meet general iPhone unlock eligibility requirements before an iPhone can be unlocked.
AT&T will unlock an iPhone under the following circumstances:
The person requesting the unlock is:
A current AT&T customer, or
A former AT&T customer who can provide the phone number or account number for the account.
The iPhone was designed for use on the AT&T network.
All contract obligations, including any term commitment, associated with the device to be unlocked have been fully satisfied.
The iPhone has not been reported lost or stolen.
Additional information about iPhone unlocks
Current customers will be allowed five (5) unlocks per account, per year, so long as their account is in good standing with no past-due amount or unpaid balance and has been active for at least sixty (60) days.
Former customers will be allowed five (5) unlocks per former account so long as they owe AT&T no Early Termination Fee or other unpaid balance.
In addition, AT&T will unlock an iPhone for: (i) an active and deployed member of the military who is a current AT&T customer in good standing and is able to provide AT&T with deployment verification; and (ii) a person who purchased the iPhone from an authorized location at the "no commitment" price and can provide proof of purchase.
Go for the greymarket IMEI unlocks, there are around $10 these days.
