AT&T IMEI Unlock — every AT&T status, one place
44,000+ orders completed · rejected orders are refunded automatically
AT&T does not unlock every phone, and the reason it refuses is always a status attached to the IMEI. IMEI.DATE offers a separate AT&T unlock service for each of those statuses, so you pay for the path that matches your device instead of guessing. The standard IMEI unlock + status check covers AT&T USA, AT&T Prepaid and Cricket devices in good standing with no unpaid balance and no active account; when the device holds a blocking status, it reports that status back instead.
Devices that are still on another customer's account go through the Active Line service, phones sold within the last 60 days through the DEVICE_SOLD_DATE_60_DAYS service, closed lines through No Longer Active, and Account2_Locked and Account_Past_Due_Payments have their own queues.
Every order is processed automatically, 24/7, with the result posted to your account and emailed; iPhones come back Unlocked, non-Apple phones receive an unlock code in the reply, and a rejected order is refunded to your balance automatically, in full. All services are available through the API for resellers.

Requirements
- The IMEI (dial *#06# on the phone or see Settings > General > About).
- The device must be locked to AT&T USA or AT&T Prepaid (Cricket is accepted by the standard unlock); the Apple activation policy names the carrier. Not sure? Run the Carrier Policy Report first.
- The AT&T status must match the service you order: standard, Active Line, DEVICE_SOLD_DATE_60_DAYS, No Longer Active, Account2_Locked or Account_Past_Due_Payments. The standard unlock reports the status when it cannot unlock, so it doubles as a status check.
- Supported models: iPhone (all models; Past Due service covers iPhone 14–17 dual-SIM) and generic / non-Apple devices.
How it works
- Create an account and top up the balance.
- Open the service that matches the AT&T status and paste the IMEI (bulk input is supported on most services).
- The order is sent to the source automatically and polled until a result arrives.
- iPhones: restart with a non-AT&T SIM, the device is Unlocked. Non-Apple phones: enter the code from the reply. Rejected orders are refunded in full automatically.
Frequently asked questions
Which AT&T phones can be unlocked here?
iPhones of all models and generic (non-Apple) devices locked to AT&T USA or AT&T Prepaid. The standard unlock also accepts Cricket USA devices. Each service page lists the models it supports.
How do I know the AT&T status of my IMEI?
Order the IMEI unlock + status check: if the device qualifies it is unlocked, otherwise the reply reports the blocking status (Active Line, DEVICE_SOLD_DATE_60_DAYS, Account2_Locked, past due, NOT_SUPPORTED). Then pick the matching service.
What does DEVICE_SOLD_DATE_60_DAYS mean?
AT&T flags devices sold within the last 60 days. Such a phone otherwise qualifies, but AT&T will not unlock it yet. The dedicated DEVICE_SOLD_DATE_60_DAYS service handles exactly this status; any other status (unpaid, past due, Account2_Locked or another block) is rejected by it as NOT_SUPPORTED.
What is an "Active Line" device?
The IMEI is still active on another AT&T account. The Active Line service accepts this status; Account2_Locked and other blocking statuses are rejected. There is also an automatic 24/7 variant that accepts both Active Line and DEVICE_SOLD_DATE_60_DAYS.
How long does an AT&T unlock take?
It depends on the status: the standard unlock typically completes in minutes, status-specific services take hours to a few days. Each service page shows the current median time measured on real orders.
What happens if the unlock is rejected?
A rejected order is refunded to your balance automatically, in full. Submitting the wrong carrier, an unsupported model or an already unlocked IMEI still consumes the order, so check the carrier first.
Can I cancel the order?
No. Once submitted the order is processed automatically and cannot be cancelled.
The official route
AT&T unlocks eligible devices itself, free of charge, through its Device Unlock portal at att.com/deviceunlock: the phone must be paid off, in good standing, not active on another customer's account and past AT&T's waiting period after purchase (the DEVICE_SOLD_DATE_60_DAYS status is exactly that period). If your IMEI meets those conditions, the official request costs nothing. The services on this page exist for the statuses AT&T turns down — Active Line, sold within 60 days, closed lines, Account2_Locked and past-due accounts — and for resellers who need automated, bulk and API processing.
