What to do with an AT&T Financed iPhone, can you unlock it?
0:00 / 0:00
hey guys how you doing this is your
friend Alex on this video I want to talk
about the iPhone 11 Pro max for AT&T and
the reason I want to talk about this
phone is because I bought it on offer up
will actually trade it I knew it was
locked to AT&T so I was really hesitant
to buy it because I know that what
happened with these phones is sometimes
you buy them and then the owner claimed
it as lost or stolen and they
blacklisted so in reality guys whenever
you buy a phone on offer up there's a
chance that the seller will claim it at
loss or stolen in a future day you know
a month two months three months who
knows who knows when they're gonna claim
it and once they claim it the phone is
going to become blacklisted and one is
blacklisted
you cannot activate it on any carrier so
you need to be really careful guys but
what I want to tell you guys is that
even if you finance the phone with AT&T
if you don't report it lost or stolen
they are not gonna blacklist it so what
does that mean that means that let's say
I buy a phone on AT&T I get a payment
plan I pay for three months five months
I don't know and then I decide to sell
it but if I don't report it as lost or
stolen AT&T is not gonna blacklist Timea
only the person the owner can do it and
they need to call them and report it
pretty much you need to be careful
because at the end you're risking money
when you buy AT&T phone or any iPhone in
that matter because they can report it
lost or stolen and they can claim their
insurance so they're gonna get a new
phone they're gonna get money back
whatever but that's what they do guys
they try to sell you a finance phone and
then they get the money so you need to
be careful with that how to know is the
phone is financed okay this is important
so let's say this phone in this case
this is love to AT&T I actually have a
SIM card from AT&T look at this and you
can see here also that now the same
cards caught this way so you cannot put
the our SIM card okay so this is a
prepay AT&T account I'm gonna try to put
my Metro SIM card to see what's going on
now you need to put it like that
and look at this immediately activation
required this mess suffer update
complete continue it may take a few
minutes to activate your iPhone okay so
you wait and it says sim not supported
you try again but at the end the same is
not supported that means that it's not
unlock it only works with AT&T Cricut
h2o Straight Talk and any other company
using the AT&T network you can use this
phone so now we know that the phone is
locked to AT&T how can we know that it's
financed we're gonna get the IMEI number
here's the IMEI number and we're gonna
go to the AT&T website look AT&T unlock
and here's the first results gonna be
unlock a phone or device AT&T unlock
portal we're gonna go to the unlock
portal and from here we're gonna try to
unlock the phone so you're gonna click
on unlock your device a your AT&T
Wireless customers I am right now
because I'm using the prepaid SIM card
but I'm gonna just put no and I'm gonna
paste my IMEI number I'm gonna click
that I'm not a bot and they're gonna ask
me a question sometimes they don't
because I already did it before I guess
I'm gonna click that I read all the
legal stuff and I'm gonna click Next and
look at these guys looks like you
haven't paid off your device yet follow
these steps to pay off your installment
plan then wait 48 hours before you
submit a new request so this is how you
know they're telling you right there
looks like you haven't paid off your
device yet so this is this device is on
a payment plan okay but I'm gonna get
the IMEI number again and this time I'm
gonna go for check ESN check the
ascender worse I always use this I mean
I brought that info directly here bosses
verify and I'm gonna paste it here then
I check it and look at these guys what
is this here clean so the phone is clean
even though it's financed but the phone
is clean but why is clean if he's
financed because the person that sell it
to me is still didn't report it okay and
there's a chance that he's not gonna
report it but there's also a chance that
he might maybe a month after two months
after I mean I just got it maybe two two
weeks ago so we don't know when he's
gonna report it and if he's gonna report
it but if he doesn't report it even
though he's financed you
and still use it with AT&T and Cricut
and h2o and any other carrier that using
AT&T towers so I want to let you know
that guys that only when they report it
is when the problems begin
even though Finance and AT&T is not
getting the payments that they should be
getting
AT&T alone is not gonna start the
process to lock it or blacklisted that's
what I wanted to tell you guys so I hope
that this video is helpful but again be
careful when you buy AT&T phones because
or any any kind of iPhone because what
they can do is they can if they have
insurance they can claim that they lost
the phone or they somebody stole them
from them they call the company they
blacklist the phone and they get their
insurance money or they get a new phone
back alright guys so thank you so much
