To Unlock A Full Price AT&T iPhone 5, Just Restore It In iTunes

IMG_0358If you have bought an AT&T iPhone 5 without a contract over the past few days, chances are that you want to unlock it to use it on another carrier. The traditional process involves filling out an online form on AT&T's website, sending a fax (yes, a fax) to AT&T, waiting 5 to 7 days and restoring your phone. It turns out that it is much easier than that: just restore the phone in iTunes and it will be unlocked.We have confirmed the process with AT&T's technical support and successfully tried it with a T-Mobile SIM card. After restoring the device in iTunes, the user is prompted with the usual unlocking message: "Congratulations, your iPhone has been unlocked."This message wasn't enough for me though. I need more proof that I could use the iPhone on every carrier and abroad.
