It's possible he has a truly unlocked phone from Apple. I have one, so it is possible. I had same issue when trying to "unlock" it from AT&T - they said it was locked to a diff carrier since it wasn't in their database.


Lo and behold, it was never locked to any carrier since it was a direct replacement from Apple for an old 3GS that I had tons of trouble with. I bought a cheap SIM card on Amazon and popped it in and it works perfect.

That's entirely possible. It's also possible that it was a replacement for a phone that was originally locked to AT&T, in which case, the replacement would be as well. If it wasn't properly registered with AT&T after replacement, they may not show it in their database. Even if it was, it may not show unless they look up the account of the original owner.


I have the distinct impression this is a gray market phone.

If the phone is carrier locked, the ONLY carrier it can possibly be locked to based on the model number you provided is AT&T. If you are not an AT&T customer, and can not provide proof of purchase for a no-commitment phone from AT&T or through Apple retail in the US, they most likely are NOT going to unlock it.


Why would you purchase a carrier locked phone if you did not intend to use it with the carrier it is locked to?
