AT&T 16 Digit Network Unlock Code

The AT&T 16-digit network unlock code is the code used to permanently remove the carrier lock from your device (usually a non-Apple smartphone or mobile hotspot) so you can use it on a different cellular network.

You cannot generate this code yourself; you must obtain it directly from AT&T.

Here is the process to request the unlock code from AT&T:

1. Check Your Device’s Eligibility

Before requesting the code, your device must meet AT&T’s requirements:

• Paid in Full: The device must be fully paid off, and there must be a zero balance on any installment plans.

• Active Time:

  • Postpaid: The device must have been active on the AT&T network for at least 60 days.

  • Prepaid: The device must have had at least six months of paid AT&T service.

• Account Status: The associated AT&T account must be in good standing (no past due balance).

• Clean Status: The device must not have been reported lost, stolen, or involved in fraud.

2. Request the Unlock Code

The official and only way to get the code is through AT&T’s online portal.

1. Go to the AT&T Device Unlock Portal:

   • Visit the official AT&T Device Unlock website.

2. Submit the Request:

   • You will need your device’s IMEI number (you can get this by dialing *#06# on your phone).

   • Fill out the request form with the required personal and device information.

3. Confirm the Request:

   • AT&T will send you an email to confirm your request. You must click the confirmation link in this email within 24 hours or the request will be cancelled.

4. Wait for Approval:

   • It typically takes 1 to 2 business days for AT&T to process and approve the request.

   • If approved, you will receive a final email that contains the 16-digit unlock code and instructions on how to enter it.

3. Enter the Code

Once you have the code, you will typically follow these steps to use it:

1. Power off your AT&T-locked device.

2. Remove the AT&T SIM card and insert a SIM card from a different carrier (e.g., T-Mobile, Verizon, or an international SIM).

3. Power on the device.

4. A prompt will appear, asking for the SIM Network Unlock PIN or Network Unlock Code.

5. Enter the 16-digit code provided by AT&T.

6. The device should display a message confirming it is unlocked.

Important: Be careful when entering the code. Most devices only allow a few incorrect attempts (usually 5-10) before the device is permanently locked to the original network.
