I hope someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe your unlock
status is posted anywhere officially. The best thing to do would be to
simply try a SIM card from a different carrier and see if it activates.
Alternatively you could try to contact Apple, but given the age of the phone
they might charge for a support incident.

Subject: Confirming that an iPhone is unlocked

This is an embarrassingly stupid question to which I really need an answer.

A couple of years ago, I bought a 3-GS from a fellow who had upgraded. I
used the 3-GS exclusively on WIFI, no phone service. Now that I have a 4-S,
I decided to attempt to get the 3-GS unlocked as it would increase its
already minimal resale value. This was an extremely frustrating process
because I am no longer an A T and T customer, nor is the phone's original
owner.

I ultimately got an A T and T service rep who listened, and understood and
completed the request and stated that because it is an iPhone, all I had to
do was to back up the 3-GS, wipe it, and then restore from the back up. I
have backed it up but have not yet wiped and restored. So the question is
simply this. After completing the restoration, what is the best way to
confirm that the 3-GS is no longer locked to A T and T?

Thanks for any help.
