Q: concerning above article: ATT tells me this procedure does not work?? ATT to Verizon attempt.

ATT tells me the SIM card and the unlock reqeust does not work. This really doesn't make sense to me, it should work?

Has anyone had experience with this procedure?

 

Request (email) apple/att to unlock, wait for email reply, up to 72 hours

follow instructions to replace SIM card.

Iphone should work with verizon now!

 

true or false?

 

Thanks

iPhone 5s, iOS 8.1.1, att

    You cannot use an AT&T phone with Verizon. Verizon only allows phones meant for their network to be used on it.

     

    You can get your phone unlocked through AT&T provided you meet whatever requirements they have, but the phone will only be usable on another GSM carrier, like T-Mobile.
