In case you've been living under a rock (or enjoying the weekend holidays), AT&T on Friday revealed its plans to start unlocking out-of-contract iPhones. However, customers looking to take advantage of the deal will have to meet a few requirements first, which include having an account in good standing (so pay those past due fees before inquiring), a fulfilled contract, paid an early termination fee or that a handset upgrade was done. The unlocking process can be achieved at any brick-and-mortar shop, online via chat or by dialing AT&T's 611. For what it's worth, we tried this and found it to be pretty straightforward. In this writer's case, it only took about 40 minutes after the initial approval went through. The most tedious step was that required restore, after which we were greeted with a joyful "congratulations your iPhone has been unlocked" message. Still, users are reporting mixed results: depending on whose account you believe, AT&T is asking users to wait 72 hours, or telling folks the unlock will complete on April 16th. Be sure to let us know in the comments how it's all turning out for you.

That's really amazing work by AT&T . I have an iPhone 4S which was locked to AT&T . After reading the news I Submitted a request to AT&T to unlock my iPhone 4S . But ,they rejected saying that I am not eligible for an unlock(I am Still under Contract) . So,I searched for an easy unlock method for iPhone 4S and found Remote Unlock Method in TheUnlockSpot.com .It will unlock the iPhones safely and permanently. I got the service and unlocked my iPhone 4S . They also provide Remote Unlock Service for other models of iPhones(GSM) like iPhone,iPhone 3G,iPhone 3GS,iPhone 4,iPhone 5.
