I just switched to At&t today, so I can't comment on history of service. I would recommend using their automated system so that you don't have to call back and waste your time.

Secondly, if that doesn't work, your 50 minutes of time is definitely worth more than $5-10. There are a lot of alternative ways to unlock your phone that you might consider. I'm not going to post any links, but I know for a fact many exist.

Good luck to you, and I'm sorry about your bad experience. Your mileage definitely varies while talking on the phone to a huge company.

Thanks. I did submit a request before calling AT&T. Below is what I got. I just wanted to try some official way to unlock my iPhone. Given that AT&T provide that service, I think that's the right of a customer.

Request number: 391xxxx
