Can I get my AT&T iPhone 6 unlocked if I still owe on it?
Here s what happened. My mom and I had our plan with AT&T and she dropped it and switched to Verizon. Our contract isn't up until July and I work minimum wage and can't afford the $200 bill so I was going to switch to straight talk or Verizon but domt want to unlock it if it's illegal.
You have to pay and close out your Verizon contract first.
Of course you can't just do that. Your mom signed a legally binding agreement, so the phone isn't hers until the contract is paid off. She legally agreed to pay AT&T for those two years. Not paying the bill could impact her credit negatively.
Now, AT&T isn't dumb, so they're not just going to let people not pay off their phones and take them to another carrier. If your mom doesn't pay the bill, AT&T will put the phone's IMEI in a blacklist, which means that virtually no carrier around the world will allow it to be activated.
And it clearly tells you on AT&T's unlocking website:

You have an Iphone 6 but can't afford to pay the 200$ fine?
- I was paying for n iPhone 6 plus monthly but my data got cut off, I had insurance on it, now its destroyed n I owe all this money I since it is cut off and I owe money for the entire phone but had insurance on it, after I pay the total balance could I get a replacement for 100.00 as if I still had service?
- Can I still sell my iPhone if I owe money on it? I owe $800 on my iPhone which I'm unable to pay for. The phone bills already went to collections. Could I sell my phone for a little extra cash or will I not be able to?
- Can I still get everything I would normally get on an iPhone if its unlocked? If I get an unlocked iPhone 5s and I want to use MetroPCS can I still download apps using the app store, get updates, use iTunes, etc? Will the monthly payment be higher than $50? Do I still get unlimited 4G?
- Can I sell a brand new unopened iphone 5 on Verizon even k ow I owe them money? I was gonna upgrade 2 days before my bill is due and get the 5 but I'm switching carriers and not actually paying the bill, can I sell the iphone 5 unopened? Since the phone on Verizon is unlocked will it always have a clean ESN?
