In two short steps, AT&T has confirmed that it provides complimentary iPhone unlocks for military personnel deployed overseas.
The company's new Device Unlock Portal allows in-contract military users to apply online for an unlock, needing only to be a member in good standing and showing proof of deployment, according to Engadget.com.
An unlocked iPhone is integral to overseas travel -- or war-fighting.
It used to be that users had to be out-of-contract and then head to a retail store.
