Q: Do I HAVE to restore to unlock?

AT&T has approved my unlock request, and tells me I have to restore my phone to unlock it.  It references an page at Apple's site that says all I have to do is stick in a new SIM card.  It only calls for restoring the phone if you want to use the same SIM.   I don't want to go to IOS8 just yet, so restoring is not an option for me.   What's the truth?  Do I have to restore the phone to unlock it?
