Q: AT&T Factory Unlock

I recently requested to have my iPhone 4 unlocked from AT&T. They approved my request. After receieving instructions on unlocking the phone (which I later found out came from Apple), I went through the steps, basically backing up and restoring the iPhone, and it still remained locked. I attempted the same instructions again and it still remained locked. I turned it off and on and that did nothing.

Can anyone help me here? Is there any other troubleshooting steps to unlocking my iPhone?

Thank you

James

iPhone 4, iOS 5.1.1

Thanks for the advice. I've read there hasn't been any software that resolves this issue for modem firmware 4.12.01 which is what I have. Will this still work?

It's not related to firmware version, IMO.

Here's how, read this:

Do you have to use a SIM card to unlock it? And if so can I use my AT&T one?

Yes, you will need any SIM card, if you use non-at&t use, just insert it and connect to iTunes.
If you use AT&T SIM, simply restore the iPhone through iTunes.
