You're referencing the T-Mobile deal? There is indeed a standard process by which the line level credits are migrated to account level credits so that you can continue to receive them on a monthly basis.

Good luck!

I'm an existing TMobile customer. I bought the Iphone 13 Mini and just tried the ATT unlock method but looks like i'm stuck with ATT.
Got a new ATT sim from Apple Store.
These are the steps i followed:

1. Put in the unactivated ATT Sim in the Iphone Mini. Didnt show the ATT logo network although its switched on.
2. Updated IMEI info on the unlock link and it instantly showed that its a Iphone 13 Mini.
3. Received email with the message "Confirm your unlock request within 24 hours" with a link to check status.
4.After 5min, clicked on the check status link and the webpage stated Current status - Denied. The follow on message was " your request was denied because your IMEI didnt match a device that is compatible ATT network. I rechecked the IMEI multiple times and confirmed the number is correct.
5. 2 min later received email saying "We can't complete your unlock request right now. Make sure you have the correct IMEI"

I am not an ATT customer so not sure what i should i do next. Is it now permanently locked to ATT? Can Tmobile unlocked it after a period of time?
Any help/suggestion is much appreciated.

thanks

I'm expecting my ATT SIM card in a day or 2 & some of these recent posts regarding the ATT SIM card not unlocking sound concerning. I'm planning to have my iphone 13 unlocked using the ATT sim method when it arrives - now it's beginning to sound like that's no longer the case. Should I just stick with the T-Mobile method even though it may take a week or so?

Try again later, or tmrw.

Or, you might need to go to the store.

Has anyone unlocked their Best Buy iPhone with an AT&T SIM card from Microsoft? I just wonder if it's any different than the one from Apple.
