This fairly simple hack doesn't use any special tools, codes or software. In fact all you’ll need is a T-Mobile SIM card cut down to micro SIM size, your AT&T SIM from your current iPhone and the steps below which were originally tweeted by the famous hacker known as Chronic.
- Insert original carrier AT&T SIM card
- Dial 611 for AT&T customer service hotline and drop the call
- Turn on Airplane Mode
- Take out AT&T SIM card
- Insert T-Mobile SIM card
- Make sure WiFi is off ( also tap on ‘Forget this Network" to make sure it doesn't connect automatically later)
- Switch off Airplane Mode and iPhone will search for network. This is followed by the Apple splash screen appearing.
- Activation Required will be displayed on the screen
- EDGE network will activate automatically – notice the ‘E' on the top left corner of the screen
- Wait for about 20-30 seconds and turn off the phone
- Turn on iPhone and the same Activation Required screen will be displayed
- When you see one signal bar, tap on Use Cellular Connection
- Eject SIM card
- Activation Required screen will be displayed the second time
- Insert SIM card
- Unlocked!
This workaround seems a bit hit or miss, with several users on other sites confirming it has worked. While others have stated otherwise. It also seems some users had to attempt the trick a few times before they could get it to work right. Unlocking your iPhone would allow you to use it in T-Mobile's network as well as in other countries' networks. It will not allow you to use the phone on Verizon or Sprint.
To get a T-Mobile micro Sim you'll need to cut down a standard size T-Mobile SIM card down to the micro SIM card size, which you can accomplish by manually cutting it or by using a SIM cutter. Of course, you need to be careful when cutting the SIM card so you don’t damage it.
