One of the first things I did after getting laid off was to request my phone contract be transferred from Oracle to a personal account. I followed the Oracle instructions and it's all good, except I have no idea how to unlock my iPhone (and neither does AT&T). Has anyone been successful in doing that? I would like the ability to use my dual Sim and possibly change provider down the road, but I have no visibility on the outstanding balance (if any)...

@ad Don't worry that even police agents will soon be replaced by AI agents at a fraction of the cost.
The cop gags are past the stale stage.
@br There's only 3 islands that will qualify you for that title. I recommend you buy Maui.
@ad Maybe your neighbor from LE can help?
Should be pretty simple to port. There used to be a AT&T contact number and you have to call that number. matter of 30 mins max.
AT&T unlocked my iPhone when I cancelled (ported out) the line. One rep said they will unlock right after the line is moved or personal, but 2 others said they will do it only when the line is cancelled and f you stay with AT&T, they won't unlock till the 2-year contract period is over.
BTW, as soon as I moved the line to personal AT&T account, I lost access to "business support" and got the cr-ppy support. It was a big pain to get the iPhone unlocked. After several long calls with no progress, I called back & used a number that was still in Oracle plan, just to get to business support, and explained them the situation - 2 mins and everything was resolved!
Your situation sounds pretty complicated. I recommend reaching out to the police to see if they can help. These days, police have access to advanced military-grade surveillance tools like Stingrays,.... Many of them are experts in telecommunications, computer networks, and the internet because they use this technology daily for civilian surveillance aimed at "Preventing Crime". Crime prevention has never been so geek-chic!
