Sorry I never explained that fully, Alan. It is locked on ATT and same phone is going to different carrier. Thanks for your helpfulness.

Cher, I'm using the term erasing in order to have your ATT iPhone fully unlocked as being the same as Settings, General, Reset, Reset all settings. This will completely erase all the phone's content and settings with the exception of leaving the iOS version in place. I never quite figured out where you were in the unlocking of this phone but I guess that's not important. It sounds as if you'll be using the phone going forward and that it used to be a locked ATT iPhone so if the former owner took the steps with ATT to have it unlocked, you'll need to reset all settings to complete that process. Hopefully, you'll have a backup of your previous phone to restore to this unlocked one. Depending on whether this phone is newly acquired by you or just one you've unlocked and are continuing to use, you'll need to either leave your SIM card in it if you previously used it or put in the SIM card of your provider.

Thanks Donna, Sieghard, and Alan. I still can’t see the logical part of these instructions- but will follow with an additional question or two. Is ‘erasing’ exactly the same as Settings, General/ Reset? 2) AT&T never says to put in the new carrier’s sim card at the end, but that is the only one logical thing I can see about this process!

More or less correct except that when you restore the backup via iTunes you should put in the old AT&T SIM to complete the unlock process.

I interpet the instructions as follows.. 1 remove the old sim card from your phone. 2 install the new sim card into your phone that is from your new cell phone carrier. 3 follow the setup process after installing the new sim card. 4 make a backup copy of your phone. 5 restore your phone to manufactory settings. 6 restore your phone using the backup you just made.
