HT201328: How to unlock your iPhone

Q: Is it possible to unlock an iPhone from a different country it was bought in?

I bought an iPhone 4 about 2.5 years ago in Chicago and have been using it since. I now moved to outside of the US and am awaiting an unlock code from At&T so that I can have a working phone in my new home. However I was just informed that I may not be able to unlock my phone from outside of the country it was bought in. Can anyone help me with this issue?

Any advice is much appreciated!

There is no unlock code, so AT&T will not send you one. The procedure for unlocking an iPhone is described here:

Here are AT&T's official requirements for unlocking an iPhone:

The country in which you are currently located should not matter, only that you are a current or former customer of AT&T.
