*ANNOUNCEMENT*

I will no longer be performing these services as I am taking an extremely long break from the forums.
If anyone is interested in purchasing the business details/methods for this service please contact me.

The profit margin is large for the service but, obviously, the actual dollar amounts are not. It's a simple way to make some money on the side!

The thing that bothers me the most is that he still posts all around the forum except for this one thread that he started.

Yep, you typically have to backup your iPhone and restore via iTunes to "push" through the unlock on Apple's servers.

That restore process in iTunes is switching the current carrier activation policy to the unlocked activation policy after your IMEI is unlocked.

ATT says they do it for free if your old account wasn't unpaid or terminated early. If you are a current customer, the account has to be in good standing.

I never realized that before, google search showed me that. I'm just going to submit it to ATT.

You're correct, the main benefit to my unlocking service compared AT&T is listed below:

•Less wait time (typically unlocked in 24 hours vs. 5-7 business days)
•No application denial (Any iPhone that meets my requirements will be unlocked or you get a full refund)
•Unlock for iPhone's whose contract has not yet expired/terminated (AT&T will not do an unlock for iPhone's still under a contact)

Not a big deal, I don't really see what harm anyone can do with an IMEI though.
There, unfortunately, isn't another way to factory unlock an iPhone without the IMEI.

Many people on here know were I'm employed and have much of my info for previous trades (and I would be willing to share those details with trustworthy people) if that helps build trust.
From what I understand (and this is just from some quick random internet reading), someone could emulate or rewrite a phone's IMEI to gain access to the same plan at the original phone is on.  So, theoretically, you could take my IMEI and put all sorts of fun stuff (text messaging, data roaming, purchases, etc) on my next phone bill.  I am no expert, so it could be that this is completely wrong.

I'm not saying you would, as I really don't think you would, but I don't like to take chances like this anymore.  If you could point me to a reliable source stating that this isn't possible, then I might reconsider.  Also, the trust-building things you mentioned wouldn't hurt.

I don't have an official source but it's likely hard, if not impossible, to "create" a new/different IMEI number on an iPhone's Logic Board.

I understand your precautions and don't blame you for having them. I'll PM you for some more details about me.
