Iphone 4s won't unlock from AT

I went to https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/ and submitted my device unlock request for my AT&T iphone, which is out of contract. I received the following approval:
Unlock request number: 2010855198
Thank you for contacting AT&T about unlocking your mobile device.
Congratulations! Here are your unlock instructions:
1. Open iTunes on your Mac or PC and verify that you have Internet connectivity.
2. Ensure the original SIM card that came with this device is inserted in your iPhone.
3. Connect your iPhone using the dock connector to USB cable that came with your iPhone.
4. Backup and restore your iPhone using iTunes. For information on backup and restore, please visit http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414.
5. After restoring, your iPhone will be unlocked.
Additional information on unlocking can be found at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5014.
Questions? Please call 800.331.0500, or dial 611 from your AT&T wireless phone.
I followed these steps, and the ones on HT1414 and HT5014, and the phone still wouldn't unlock. I tried many times and several iterations of the apple and AT&T procedures, but every time I put in any one of three different T-Mobile sim cards I would get the following message:
"The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported. Only compatible SIM cards from a supported carrier may be used to activate iPhone. Please insert the SIM card that came with your iPhone or visit a supported carrier store."
I have the latest iTunes updates. I've tried erasing all content and settings on the iPhone, creating and restoring multiple backups from both iTunes and iCloud, resetting to factory conditions, rubbing my head and patting my tummy, but nothing seems to work.
I called 800-331-0500 and spoke to two different AT&T reps, but they weren't able to help me. I called Apple support at 80-676-2775, and spoke "unlock iphone," which transferred me to what appears to be 800-MY-IPHONE. After dialing in my phone number, the message said that I needed to subscribe to an apple support plan in order to receive phone support.
***? Help!!

Actually the message was "The SIM card that you currently have installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple from more information."

IPhone 3GS won't unlock even after carrier supposedly unlocked it

Hello,
I am really frustrated, because they told me they've already unlocked the iPhone, but when I sync it, it just says Phone Number "n/a". It doesn't say anything else, just that, everything else is just as usual. I've contacted my old carrier and my new one, as well, both say they can't do anything, the iPhone is unlocked, yet it keeps saying , "No Service". What should I do? Is there any way to manually iniate the unlocking process on iTunes?
Thanks in advance,
elysa

See this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559
If you carefully follow all of the instructions in this tip and none of them restore WiFi then your radio chip has failed and you need to get the phone replaced by Apple.

IPhone 4 won't slide to unlock . I tried everything possible and even got my phone replaced fora new one costing me 10,282 Rupees . The new phone is again having the same problem even without adding any apps or taking data backup

Yeah, first my thought was also that... that's why I've gone to Apple and they already switched the phone twice!!!
Last time was yesterday... I posted this here because I came from Apple and with a new iPhone 5, although I didn't restore anything from iCloud, I hadn't even logged in to iCloud / AppStore, and without any event on the lockscreen my iPhone 5 was already "locked" on the unlock screen... after a mere 45m after I used it without a single App!! Just a couple of SMS / 1 or 2 calls... I'm going to Apple again on monday, but tried to post here to see if this has happened before to anyone with 3 new iPhones!!!

Unlocked iPhone 4S won't back up now. How do I fix that?

My newly unlocked iPhone 4s won't back up to my computer with iTunes now. It says it's disconnected. How do I remedy that and keep the unlock?
I unlocked my phone following the instructions I was sent by Sprint, my carrier.
It seems like unlocking an iPhone can cause a variety of problems (or so I gather from trying to research this)

Also, I'm not clear if restoring it will help. I haven't tried it yet.

HT201328 i would like to unlock my iPhone to use in my country (turkey) when i go to vacation to turkey how can i gec my unlock code?

Dear Apple ,
my name is elif gunaydin. i have iphone since you made iphones.. i have all apple produckts at home. I live in Usa / new jersey... i would like to use my iphone in my country (turkey) when i go to vacation. i go to turkey every summer for 3 mounths.. i had big problems to use cellphones last year in turkey. i had iphone last year too but i could not use it in there. if i would have unlock code i would be able to get some turkish company's sim card and it would be ready to use..
please , help me.. i dont want to have any cellphone problems in turkey this summer again. it is really hurting me that my iphone 5 is staying in my bag because i can not use.i will fly to turkey soon and i will come back on september so i really need my iphone 5 in there...
i would be so so so much happy if you send me unlock code for my iphone.. thank you so much ..

There is no such thing as an "unlock code" for an iPhone. Contact the carrier the phone is locked to and find out what their policy is for unlocking. The SIM slot on the Verizon iPhone 5 is already unlocked.
Sprint will only unlock the SIM slot for international use for current Sprint customers in good standing.
AT&T will unlock iPhones purchased as no-commitment phones with proof of purchase from Apple or AT&T or for customers who have completed their contract or paid the early termination fee.
T-Mobile phones are already unlocked.
The other US carriers do not offer unlocking for iPhones.

IPhone 4 won't sync to iTunes on iMac

Recently my iPhone 4 won't sync with iTunes on my iMac. When I connect my iPhone iTunes recognizes it and I'm able to click the sync button. It goes the the sync steps, but at the end it says it can't sync becasue my iPhone is not connected to iTunes even though it is.
My iPhone, iMac and iTunes have the latest software updates. I'm running OS X 10.6.8.
I've tried rebooting both my iPhone and iMac, but it still doesn't work.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
Wayne

I'm only asking this because I just got my phone unlocked, and the service provider suggested that I restore my iPhone by syncing it with Itunes.......but maybe I don't have to restore my phone? Anyone with advice/suggestions?

IPhone 6 won't show up in Itunes on MacBook

I bought an iPhone 6 today. I have an old MacBook (circa 2008) running OS X 10.6.8 and Itunes 11.0.2.
I synched my iPhone 4 and backed up the photos in iPhoto.
When I plug in my iPhone 6, the first couple of times it said that I need to unlock the device. I did that, but then it said something like "don't recognize the device"
After the 2nd or 3rd time, it simply stopped even showing this message and the iPhone 6 won't register at all. I don't have any other devices that I synched with Itunes.
Any ideas? Other discussions I saw didn't provide a resolution that appear to be appropriate.
Thanks.

Look her and it may give insite on what is missing. Otherwise:
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99. Likely not worth it for a your iPod. They do not fix yours.

HT4623 after updating to iOS 6.0.1 my iphone 3s won't recognize my SIM card. i updated my phone through iTunes, what happened to my phone?

after updating to iOS 6.0.1 my iphone 3s won't recognize my SIM card. i updated my phone through iTunes, what happened to my phone?

If it now says "invalid" or "unsupported" SIM, your iPhone was almost certainly hacked to unlock it from the original cell carrier and updating has now removed that hack and the iPhone has relocked back to that original carrier. You will have to contact that carrier and ask if it would be possible to get your iPhone officially unlocked.
Regards.

Iphone 4 will not unlock but the same portion of the screen is active using SMS or any other feature.

Iphone 4 will not unlock but the same portion of the screen is active using SMS or any other feature. What is the issue?

It won't recognise it at all, but luckily I backed up very recently.
I've booked an appointment with an Apple store who promise a working iPhone within 10 minutes of your appointment, whether fixed or a brand new iPhone.
Thank you both for your suggestions. I'll leave the question unanswered incase people have any other suggestions or similar issues.
Cheers.

Synchs iphone but won't restore without password

itunes synchs with iphone but won't restore without password to unlock iphone backup files. Have tried every password I know, including the one revealed in keychains, and numeric values such as 0000, etc. to no avail. Have checked other forums and all offer possible solutions such as deleting files from itune restarting and upgrading, jailbreaking and various other terms which I do not understand...all sound iffy and possibly precarious, at best since they are not apple supported forums and some users report success using such methods but others do not. This is an apple issue and should be addressed by apple. How can I discover the wanted password and restore function to my phone, avoid this happening again with future updates, and not have to waste 3 days of my life to recover from an apple generated issue?

Hello jxshurobinson,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your iPhone. If you are having issues restoring your iPhone and are just seeing the Connect to iTunes screen, you may find the following articles helpful:

If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Also, from your description, it sounds like the phone may have still been Activation Locked to the previous owner's account. If that is the case, you may also find this article useful:
