As it is locked to sprint you can't use the GSM portion.
If they unlock it it is only for international roaming, not domestic use.
Which is excactly what I need. To rephrase my original question is there an imei unlocker that can unlock the iphone 5s sprint for international use?
Hi guys, I tried for an unlock at Swiftunlocks.com
Do I need to put in some non AT&T SIM to complete the unlock process? Or can I just sell my phone as unlocked now? I don't have any other carriers nano SIMs on hand, and my buddy on T-Mobile has a Micro SIM only
Thanks!
Restore it in iTunes.
great advise, that might cost the jailbreak ability
if you are jailbroken, use SAM from Cydia to deactivate the phone then connect phone and open itunes, the unlock will attach.
try to find a different nano-sim
We both know there was no mention of it being jailbroken or if having the ability to mattered.
Just wanted to update this thread in case some people may be having the same issue as me while trying to unlock their Iphone 5s. Below is the email I just received from swiftunlocks.

Damn, I was finally ready to pull the trigger on swiftunlocks but now I see they've removed all the iPhone unlocks from their site except for Australia and Canada (ouch, $100 if you're locked to Rodgers). Hope they're back soon.
Got the same message, placed my order yesterday at night .... also AT&T.... anyone else knows another secure imei unlocking site to unlock a 5S ? Thanks in advance
Swiftunlocks is not overwhelmed with orders.
AT&T has been doing updates to their system. This includes Snooper, which is the tool used at AT&T to unlock their cell phones.
How do I know this? I sell the same services, if not more, as swiftunlocks but at a better price.
If anyone has any questions, let me know.

Yes, so when are we gonna be able to unlock our phones? is your service currently working ?
AT&T iPhone unlocking has been hit or miss the past few days. I'm currently not offering any services until it is back to normal. Just trying to save myself and customers headaches.
Wow, how long has this been going on? Hopefully this isn't permanent....
It looks like it is picking back up, but prices will be higher.
This is what I have been using for my unlocks:
$25 12-24 Hours
$45 1-2 Hours
I'm still waiting on http://www.att-iphone-unlock.com/ and it's been about 22 hours. Maybe I shouldn't have opted for the cheap unlock.
unfortunately your IMEI order has failed.
Product: AT&T IPHONE (1-48 Hours)
Reason: WE ARE SORRY TO INFORM YOU THIS SERVICE IS DOWN. THE REASON IS ATT HAS LIMITED UNLOCKING PHONES AND MAKING IT HARDER AT THE MOMENT. WE ARE TRULY SORRY FOR ALL ISSUES. WE ARE TESTING SOME BACK UP METHODS AND WILL HAVE HOPEFULLY A WORKING/STABLE SOLUTION IN NEXT 1-2 DAYS. PLEASE LOOK OUT FOR NEWSLETTERS ETC. THANKS AGAIN FOR UNDERSTANDING
Refund notice: Please allow up to 24 hours for your order to be refunded, we apologize for this inconvenience.

Got that after waiting 5 full days for my unlock, they never emailed me first to let me know what's going on. What was supposed to be 1-48 hours was now 120 hours and they didn't even come through. I had to email them multiple times and their response was, "it's in process," and "k." This was from Unlockfusion/Swiftunlocks.
I had to email att-iphone-unlock and got the following:
Dear Consumer,
Because of AT&T server down all delayed unlocks will be delivered during business hours on Monday-Tuesday by Pacific US Time.
Sorry for inconveniences
Regards,
ATT iPhone Unlock support team
Of course, they were just gonna let me sit there waiting with no notice. It's been over 48 hours for their 1-36 hour service.

That's odd. I haven't gotten this response from my 1-60 Minute Unlock supplier or my 1-3 day Unlock supplier.
just checked my new sprint iphone 5s, it's already unlocked for international use. but not for US sim.
Yes, that's the case with the Sprint/Verizon iPhone. I understand that the intention was to unlock the SIM for international travel only.
