HT201328 iphone 3GS Unlock - HELP pls

I did call AT&T for unlocking my iphone. But the problem is that I DO NOT have the receipt anymore. It's an out-of-contract iphone, it's been 2 years I have it. Can't it be unlocked without the original receipt? There has to be some way out?

You do not need the receipt.
https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/client/en_US/
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.

  • HT201328 iPhone 4 unlock - HELP

    I recently requested an iPhone 4 unlock from AT&T and was accepted. I am now trying to unlock my iPhone 4 abroad and unsuccessfully. I have tried unlocking with my old AT&T and international sims. I have not receive any unlock message. I have restarted and restored multiple times. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    I did, I followed the instruction but nothing came of it. I tried restoring the phone with and without the sim but nothing happened

  • How can i get an iphone 3gs unlocked to any network?

    Only the cell carrier to whom the iPhone is locked can authorize an unlock, so you will need to contact the carrier. Note that if the iPhone is locked to AT&T, they will not unlock an iPhone at any time for any reason.

  • Vechr good guys please tell me I can not activate iphone 3gs unlock after the official sees no sim card

    vechr good guys please tell me I can not activate iphone 3gs unlock after the official sees no sim card

    Disable your antivirus and firewall.
    If that doesn't fix it either the phone was jailbroken or hacked, or the computer you are using was used to hack or jailbreak some other iDevice.

  • I have a problem with iphone 3gs please help

    ok my iphine was jail broken and i restored it as it was and now its stuck on recovery mode and i cant restore it everytime i do it gives me the message with 1015 i thikn please help me if u have a solution.

    If I understand correctly, you are in Romania and the phone was bought from Sweden.  In order to unlock that device, you have to have the carrier in Sweden unlock it.  If your phone just won't power on, then wjosten has provided the steps needed to try and power it on.  Otherwise, if you want the phone "unlocked" or if it has been "jailbroken" or an unauthorized version of software has been put on the iphone, nobody can help you here. 

  • I just moved to the UK last week. I was originally told by an apple rep that I would be able to get my iphone 3gs unlocked here. I got here to find no one will unlock it. AT

    I have an iphone 3gs I was using in the US on a prepaid account with AT&T. It was never on contract with them. My partner spoke to an apple rep who told us it wouldn't be a problem when I came and bring it to the Apple store & they would unlock it. Appears this is not true. O2 & Orange both said no. At&t won't do it. The apple store told me no as well. Is there anything to be done? Orange offered me 138gbp but then I would have to sign a contract with them for the free phone rather than just keep my old one & use a sim. I could use some advice please. Thank you!!

    ONLY the carrier the phone is locked to can authorize unlocking it. The carrier you are switching TO can NOT authorize unlocking a phone from the carrier you are switching FROM.
    Unfortunately, if you have a 3Gs from the US, it is locked to AT&T. AT&T will NOT unlock iPhones for any reason. Your best bet is to sell your existing phone and get a new  you can actually use. The 3Gs is only good as an iPod Touch as long as you have it there.

  • Iphone 3gs dead- help!!! see more details below.

    I have a iphone 3gs- I had the old operating system so I tried to upgrade it.My phone is unlocked and jail broken.
    I tried to plug it in itunes and see if i can restore it. The computer/itunes did pick up that an iphone was connected and said I need to restore it. When the restore finished, it said ''the software for the iphone was corrupted during download'' I tried the restore couple of times, no luck.
    I tried to charge it from a wall charger and from the computer as well. Still no luck.
    I tried the hard reboot as well- hold the on/off button and the centre button together for a min...no luck here again!
    Any ideas? Thanking you in advance!

    When I bought the phone from someone, I got it that way- didnt know all this technicalities of jail breaking then. Now I know!!!
    Hence, i'm trying to restore the phone, and bring it back to factory settings so that it becomes un-jail broken!
    Thanks for replying! will follow your link ans see what happens!

    This error typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, this error may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

    Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

  • HT201210 I have got error number 11 on itunes when trying to restore my iphone 3gs, please help.

    Please help, I am trying to restore my iphone 3gs, but i keep getting errors like 11 which is not listed in this site and i alos get error 1 and -1. please help.

    Did you manage to fix the issue?
    I have exactly the same issue as described above : I installed the update 5.1.1 on my iphone 3GS and since then, I can not turn it on anymore. In Itunes, I get an error 37 when I am doing a restauration and it stops.
    This error has nothing to do with firewall : I tried to restore the phone on several computers, including in an Apple reseller and it did not work anywhere.
    I spent several hours on phone with the hotline from Apple which arrived to the conclusion that it is a hardware issue, but the phone was working perfectly fine until I installed this update!

  • IPhone 3GS Unlock Code

    *Can anybody tell me how do i contact apple to unloack my iPhone 3GS because i am now in Dubai . It is running on iOS 4.1 .*

    One, don't double post to multiple forums.
    Second, you contact the carrier, they are the one that will unlock it and send in request to Apple to unlock on next sync.

  • HT201328 IPHONE 4 UNLOCKING PROBLEM ORANGE TO VODAFONE NETWORK

    Hi
    My problem is I had finished my contract of 24 months with orange/EE &amp; payed £20.42 to wait for a confirmation email that did arrive after 2 weeks with unlocking process via iTunes.
    So I wanted it unlocked so it could be used with a Vodafone microsim as a gift to my  dad so I bought a new Vodafone micro sim because I had to order a new microsim with all my dads details on it &amp;  I did what the orange email said in steps but I (never got a congratulations your iPhone is unlocked) message but I noticed it did say Vodafone uk network on top left of the iPhone 4 screen.
    But the Vodafone microsim was not the number I wanted as Vodafone had to change all the details from a standard size sim to a new micro with all my dads details as he wanted to keep the same mobile number so seeming that it was showing the Vodafone network signal &amp; all working I finally received my dads  new Vodafone microsim with all his details etc that was on the standard sim that was in my dads old phone but when I ejected the Vodafone microsim that was working  I bought that was brand new &amp; like I stated was working on the iPhone 4 &amp; swapped it for my dads new micro Vodafone sim All I get is "NO SERVICE" So I went through the exact same steps on the email for unlocking my orange locked iPhone 4 again  as I did with the first voda sim but I get " No service ". I'm sorry to bother you guys especially XMAS day but its a gift for my father today as it's his Vodafone number he wants to keep on the sim they sent so I phoned Vodafone &amp; they said the sim needs activating &amp; could take 30 mins to 24 hours. But it's been over 24 hours &amp; Ive turned the iPhone 4 on &amp; off but still no service plus I reset network settings &amp; rebooted the iPhone a few times
    It must be unlocked because  the first Vodafone microsim that I bought new recently  worked but its strange &amp; extremely  frustrating that my dads new Vodafone microsim still says. "NO SERVICE"?
    Would you be kind enough to help me if you have any idea what I've done wrong or is there anything else I'm supposed to do or could do to get this other new Vodafone Sim working. Sorry to bother you guys but you seemed to know a lot about unlocking so i thought I'd ask you. If you can help in anyway I'd be so very very grateful as I'm running out of time  
    THANKYOU
    Merry Christmas &amp; Happy New Year.
    Sent from my iPhone 5s

    Nothing to do with Apple what so ever 
    Only the carrier ,in this case Vodafone can authorise the unlocking of the iPhone
    The IMEI is the vehicle not the  phone number
    However to allow approval Vodafone probably  need to be able to
    see the IMEI active on their network
    You could consider buying a PAYG sim become a customer active and on
    their network and then try a new request
