Quote from WittyOctopus9593 Put the inactive RP sim card in the sim card slot. Power up your phone, connect to wifi. Wait for the phone to activate. Then you can go through the usual phone setup and confirm that the phone is sim locked under general -> about. Next go to att.com/deviceunlock. Start device unlock. Do you have att phone number? No. Type in your phone's IMEI (do NOT put IMEI 2, this is esim) then fill out your info on next page and submit. You will receive one email from at&t right away to confirm your request. Click to confirm and the second email should come soon with confirming the device is now unlocked. At this point, take out RP sim card and put a sim card for T-Mobile or Verizon (or any of their MVNOs) in the phone. Restart the device and it is now unlocked.

I'm no expert, so please understand I only know it worked for me in my particular situation. You could end up locked to a carrier that you can't afford 😂
a. Pay in full for the phone.While your payment will quickly reflect in your account it will be at least a few hours before it updates for the unlock request.
b. When you receive the phone activate it on ATT with the SIM provided. Make sure it shows up on myATT app/in the web so ATT knows and registers the IMEI in the network. Then put the SIM in another unlocked phone, reboot, make some calls and make sure this unlocked phone is now showing under the line in app/web portal.
c. Now go to ATT unlock portal https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/ and then choose not an ATT customer and use the IMEI of ATT phone and submit an unlock request.DO NOT attempt more than twice or you will be blocked for 24 hours.
d.Confirm the unlock request email and receive the unlock code.
e. Only cancel the line after you have unlocked the phone.

Read that thread and see the "Verizon" section of the wiki— that seems to indicate that it might work for non-att phones. Seems like you are locking it to ATT and using some loophole to unlock your paid phone through their portal.

Could anyone please explain the steps to make it unlocked?
Thanks a lot!
The problem for me was that 2 or 3 of the apps I needed to use would say "upgrade to new version" and wouldn't even let me use them until I did. And the new versions you needed ios 12 or something to even download.
At that point, I said it was time and retired the phone after 6 years or so. My father only uses his phone for call, text, and the Line App. Maybe google maps. But he never had any problems with them requiring the new version.
Has anyone opened the box and can confirm if it is locked or unlocked? Thanks
