AT&T unlock guide

AT&T unlocks devices that are paid off, not reported lost or stolen, and have a clean account history. They do this through the account, not a third-party code generator.

Eligibility

  • Device is fully paid (installment closed or prepaid window met).
  • Account in good standing; the requester is the account holder.
  • IMEI not on a lost/stolen or fraud list.
  • Active AT&T service for the required period on that IMEI (often 60 days; prepaid brands differ).

Steps

  1. Gather the IMEI and account PIN
  2. Request from the account or by phone
  3. Wait for the over-the-air unlock

Typical wait: 2–7 business days once eligible. Fee: No extra unlock fee if the device is eligible. Support: 800-331-0500.
