To unlock your AT&T phone or tablet so it will work on another carriers network, you will need to request
an unlock code from AT&T. Once you receive this code, you will need to follow the unlock instructions
provided here for your device.
Before you start:

Request unlock code - To request an unlock code simply visit us at att.com/deviceunlock to

review the requirements and submit an AT&T Mobile Device Unlock request. Requests will take
up to five business days to complete. If you have already requested an unlock code online, check
your status at att.com/deviceunlockstatus.
AT&T branded devices only - Ensure your device is an AT&T branded device before
proceeding. AT&T only unlocks AT&T branded devices. The AT&T logo should appear
somewhere on the device (above the display, on the back, or under the battery).
Follow instructions carefully - Use extreme care during the unlock process, as the incorrect
entry of an unlock code too many times during the life of the device permanently disables the
unlock ability. The number of attempts to unlock the device is dependent on the manufacturer and
model.

AT&T locks handsets in order to recover costs and to control theft of devices. Even at full retail, a device purchased from AT&T is often priced less
than a comparable device purchased at full retail from another retail location. Therefore, AT&T limits the quantity of requests so that we can discourage
possible speculation by individuals and companies who may take advantage of this price difference for their own profit.
Request Restrictions

AT&T reserves the right to decline the release of unlock codes if we suspect that the request is not legitimate or if we suspect abuse.
Any customer porting to AT&T from another carrier or leaving AT&T requires the unlock code before their device accepts the new carrier's
SIM card.
AT&T devices are SIM-locked to all AT&T networks and do not need to be unlocked if a customer relocates or changes their home network.
AT&T does not generate the device unlock code for handsets of other carriers.
Customers that have activated AT&T service with a non-wireless handset should be referred to their previous carrier to request an unlock
code.

Device Unlocking History

AT&T locks all devices, as of November 11, 2004.

From 2001 to October 31, 2004, only domestic devices were locked (850MHz and 1900MHz radio frequencies). International tri/quad-band
devices were unlocked. Tri/quad-band devices were those with 900MHz and 1800MHz radio frequencies.
Prior to 2001, all devices were locked.

Device unlock codes are unique to each device and are tied to the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number. The code is a unique 8-16
digit unlocking code for each device as determined by the manufacturer.
