If you wait until cobwebs form, they may grant it. I suspect they only did because it was activated with an H20 SIM that's actually an AT&T MVNO. I'm not sure if they would have if it was dormant...
Yes, they sent those at the beginning then quit. The unlock approval surprised me because I figured they wouldn't grant it after so long. I haven't unlocked yet because the phone is active on H20. ...
I finally got my AT&T unlock request approved for the Smartflip. I requested it around August 19th I think. I've had an H20 SIM in it since then and since that runs on AT&T, maybe that's why they...

I was able to get AT&T phones unlocked as a non customer. The phones weren't active at the time, the Alcatel Ideal had only been used a few months not six months on prepaid AT&T, and one (ZTE z222...
