The best bet is to have her talk to AT&T to change its status. If it's off-contract they can remove the carrier-lock, but she needs to talk to AT&T and have the phone's IMEI available.

Our daughter-in-law in California upgraded her iPhone3 to a 4s a while ago. She gave us her old 3 and hoped we could get it converted to our Canadian carrier. Bell-Solo said that they would be happy to, but it's locked to AT&T.

I've done some research and have only found a commercial service for $59. That seems a high price for an older, free phone. Does anyone here have an idea how to unlock this phone? I have a Kubuntu system and a Mac with Snow Leopard. I can get to a Windows machine if I need to.

TIA
