AT&T to Unlock Off-Contract iPhones
Wow!!!!!!
This is shocking!!!! And something that should have happened a long time ago, duh, if a customer is no longer on contract, and is month-to-month, and want their phone unlocked, so be it, ANY phone!!!
I wonder what's T-Mo policy with off-contract T-Mo branded Android phones.

Wow, it is sad that I have to hear that from here instead of from my information system at work. PS, has been pretty good about stuff like this, but I'll beleive it when I see it.
Mislead Customers...

How so? And to what point? Even if it was possible CDMA carriers only allow their own phones on their networks.

Kinda knew it was too good to be true. Any AT&T reps out there that know what they are doing, could you please email me? I need to speak to someone with intelligence, I know there are one or two of you out there. gusbaby@hotmail.com

Thanks to your poor attitude, the one or two intelligent ones won't bother. 😁

You got misinformation my friend. I work for AT&T and all that is needed is for the IMEI number to be verified that the iPhone completed the 2 year contract. There are tools to verify that information. If you bought iPhone at no commitment pricing (fu...
