    Only the carrier can unlock the phone.

    Have the person who had the phone on their AT&T account contact them to unlock it.

    The phone was purchased from a pawn shop and given to me as a gift.  It had a program that was installed to allow use of other sim card but when i restored the phone to update it lost that program.  Att refuses to assist due to my never having been a customer, anything apple can do on their side?

    No. Apple will not help you at all as it is apparent this device has been jailbroken.

    Unfortunately, this also means no one here will be able to help you either.

    Apple would not be able to help you even if your iPhone was not jailbroken. Unlocking is completely up to the carrier, and AT&T's polices are clear; you must be a current or former customer.

     

    Sorry, but there is no way you can get the iPhone officially unlocked, and we cannot help with hacking the iPhone in these forums.

     

    Regards.

    Officially only AT&T can unlock their iDevices per their unlocking policy.

     

    For unofficial unlocking help, you are in the wrong forum. No help here please.
