Activate iPhone 5 using AT&T GoPhone Prepaid Sim Card


I will update this post when I finish this journey.


Remote unlock websites have been having trouble with servers and prices have sore to more than $100 to unlock a single iPhone. I will try another method.

This is a test on unlocking an iPhone using a GoPhone sim card and this website https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/client/en_US/

This is not the fastest way to unlock it but possible the slowest. According to the website "Prepaid / GoPhones: Device has been active for at least 6 months". 

I recently bought an iPhone 5 on eBay which needed to be activated. 
To activate it I used a GoPhone prepaid sim card that can be easily be purchased on eBay.
I'm not sure if this really matters but the SKU was 72290. 
The sim card was just to activated.

I will update this post when I finish this journey. I am planning on paying at&t for 6 months of service on GoPhone prepaid service, and then unlocking it through at&t's website. Again this is not the fastest but if you are going to spend $100 I rather get something more in return.
