Hello,
Recently purchased 3 Lumia 635 Prepaid/GoPhones and was worried about removing Simlock. ATT is now unlocking it for free., what is different now is that they seem to be unlocking all phones which are 'eligible' (I guess phones before Feb 2015) even if you do not have an ATT number or if you're not an ATT customer. Earlier, they would stone-wall you or send an email saying device is not eligible for unlock if you're not an ATT customer or if it was a prepaid/GoPhone, now they seem to be a little more forthcoming
Go to the ATT dev unlock page URL- att.com/deviceunlock/index.htm and once you agree and continue, choose 'Non AT&T Mobility Customer' and you need to give them the IMEI (use *#06# on the phone's dial pad), First name Last name and Email add (use a genuine one). Once done, you will receive a confirmation email, once you confirm, you will receive the unlock code within 48 hours.
Insert a different sim and it will prompt you to enter the code, once you enter the code, the device will be sim unlocked. You only have 10 attempts before your phone is permanently blocked/Hard-locked so use caution and get it done in the first try
It is possible (not sure though) that they are keeping a tab on unlock requests from a particular email address so use different email addresses if requesting for multiple phones.
Sorry, if this has been posted before, just unlocked 3 phones, wanted to pass on the info.
