Hi,
I have purchased an Unlocked AT&T Samsung Galaxy S5 phone Model SM-900A from eBay. Seller described phone as UNLOCKED. I tried to confirm unlocked status using official AT&T site at:
https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/ Step-1 You have to send an unlock request AND RECEIVE a request number. Step -2 Enter phone's IMEI along with received a request number to receive confirmation email within 24hr. AT&T tech. support told me that I need to have an AT&T account number and a phone number to successfully unlock phone. eBay seller did not provided any of required information. The paid unlock service ($44) does not seems be reliable and might not work after software update. Also, it does not provide necessary information to verify unlock status through AT&T site. The bottom line is that I like the phone and would like to keep it if it can be legally unlocked. I need you opinion and advice on how to unlock the phone and conform with AT&T its unlocked status. Thanks in advance.
