Unlock a paid up iphone
I recently paid off my iPhone with AT&T and wanted to give it to my granddaughter. It's been 6 days, still no unlock message. How long does it usually take to unlock?

You have to contact AT&T and request an unlock. They are the only ones who can authorize it. It will not automatically be unlocked just because you finished paying for it.
I did contact them. They said 2 days. It's been 6. I called again and they the rep said he didn't know when it would be. That's why I asked about how long does it usually take. I was hoping someone had the same experience as I have and could tell me.
It took less than 24 hours the last time I unlocked a phone from AT&T. They may be running behind due to short staffing for the holidays.
