don't skip any part of the video watch
it from the beginning till the end so
you don't miss any of the tips all right
hello guys how you doing this is your
friend alex and today i want to show you
what happened with an iphone that you
cannot unlock for free on the atnt
portal i do have the iphone x and this
iphone is lav4a t let me just show you
really quick what happened when you put
a sim card that is not from atnt uh mint
mobile using the t-mobile network let's
see what happened
activation require
software update complete
it may take a few minutes to activate
your iphone
and it says sim not supported i'm going
to try again
sim not supported that means that this
phone is locked to a company this case
is locked to a tnt let me just put a sim
from at t and you will see that you will
not see that message
you can see here carrier 1850 and the
phone is fine look at this guys if you
go to
general about carrier lock is a sim lock
this device might be restricted to the
original carrier and or have certain
capabilities limited contact your
provider for more information so that's
new from ios 15 you can now see the
carrier lock here on the about menu i'm
going to try to unlock this phone for
free using the atnt portal let me just
first get the imei
and also i'm gonna print screen this i'm
gonna print screen this so we can have
it right there
now we need to go to the atm t portal
we're gonna type here a tnt unlock and
the fir not the first because the first
is an ad but right here att device
unlock so click here and you need to
read this unlock your device and here it
is guys unlock your device click there
do you have a mobile number from atm t
i'm gonna put no
imei number let's see if we can paste it
and we are not able to paste
you cannot paste it all right so we're
gonna need to memorize it we have it
here i save it here
so the number is three five four eight
five five oh nine five five zero nine
six one four ten seventy one
six one four ten
seventy nine and you can see that
immediately the portal recognized the
phone as the iphone x
81865 now select i'm not a bot
verify the google thing click here
on i read legal info
and then click next
now it's going to ask me for my
information you don't need to put the
mobile number i'm going to put my email
here
and i'm going to click submit
unlock your device it says thanks we got
your requests this is the request number
and what happened is they send an email
to my email address and i need to click
on that link to confirm that the device
is unlocked so i need to do that at 10
07 am i got this email that is asking me
to confirm my requests so you have to
click here and confirm
and now it says thanks for confirming
now i just have to wait if you go back
to the email there's a link called check
the status so click here also
and you can see current status pending
really soon i'm gonna know if they
approve or if they deny the unlock i
already tried this before and the answer
was this we can approve your unlock
request so this video is actually
about this looks like there is an unpaid
balance linked to your device so we can
unlock it
so my suggestion is if you cannot return
the device or if you cannot sell it try
every week to unlock your device for
free
in the past i was lucky a couple of
times after months of waiting i just
wanted to say guys that if they deny
your request there's still another way
to unlock these devices and in this case
this is a gv sim card well actually it's
like a sandwich you put the sim card in
between
these are really delicate so they ended
up being broke like this that's another
way you can do it the gv pro the rsim
there are different brands they have the
same result they will carry or unlock
your iphone that's an unlock that i
don't like that much but if they don't
approve this unlock from att then i'm
forced to use this kind of stuff
now you can do it also by software and i
have videos about a software that can do
this but you need to be on ios 14 or
below specifically this iphone x you can
unlock with the software but only if the
ios is 14 or less
there is an unpay balance linked to your
device they don't give you a way to pay
that and pay balance maybe just 100
bucks and maybe it's worth it to pay it
but you need to have an att account to
log in and check the balance so if you
don't have any account there's no way
for you to access the original account
and pay the balance i think that's a
little bit messed up by att because they
do not allow us to pay the balance so we
can have the iphone unlock they will
make money and we will be happy but by
keeping the device like this it's
forcing us to use the atnt network with
atnt or with qriket or any other company
like h2o any other company that uses the
att network you can use this device i
think the main message on this video is
that not all iphones qualify to be
unlocked for free on the atm t portal
but if your iphone doesn't qualify you
still have options to unlock it with the
gb pro with the rsim with software and
with other sim cards that you can put
let me know in the comments if this is
your case let me know what are you using
to unlock your device and i think that's
it for now guys i'm gonna check one more
time
so this is still pending this pending
can be three days can be a week can be
months i have cases that this pending
takes a while so that's up to you now if
you want to call att you can call in too
you can call them and request your
device to be unlocked on the phone they
can do this you will have more chances
to get your device unlocked but as you
can see here is still pending
well guys uh thank you so much for
