Default How do I know my iPHONE is unlocked?

What's up everyone, I just used Ziphone 3.0 to unlock my 1.1.4 16GB iPHONE. I sold my phone in eBAY, the buyer wanted it unlocked. The only SIM card I have is ATT, is there a way to confirm if the unlock was successful or not? Thanks in advance.

Do you know anybody with a different GSM provider who might let you borrow their SIM for a minute?

The iphone wont take any other sim except yours if it is still locked even if you put another at&t sim. So you can insert one of your friends at&t sim to test it. If you can make calls with a different at&t sim then your iphone is unlocked.

if it says different sim detected, restore and try again.

if not, youre set.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I ended up running to Wal-Mart late last night and buying a Go-Phone from T-Mobile for like $20. I had to confirm last night if the phone was unlocked b/c I sold the iPHONE on eBAY and had to drop it in the mail this morning.

It worked!! Thanks again.

I also sold my phone on ebay and was wondering after I unlock it, should I go to iTunes and set it up as a new phone? Or just leave it as it is?
