When did you hear this? This was definitely true a few years ago, which
is why the judgment made it legal for anyone to unlock a cell phone. One
of the reasons that was sighted when this judgment wasn't renewed is
that carriers now typically will unlock a cell phone at the end of the
contract period and even earlier if you're a customer in good standing.
This was definitely the case with AT&T when I looked into it two years ago.
BTW, the FCC and the White House in the US have both come out in favor
of making it legal for anyone to unlock their cell phones.

I've read lately that it is now against the law in the states to unlock
your own phone. You'll have to get your carrier to do it for you legally.

Hello. My experience with AT&T is completely the opposite. I suggested
that you call them back and get someone else. Just like any large
company, there will always be some service representatives who are not
well-trained or are too lazy to do their work. This does not mean the
entire company at-large is to blame. I could easily give you equal
stories regarding Verizon and Sprint, but again it does not mean they
are bad companies in general. Just so you know, once your phone is off
contract, AT&T can unlock your phone. Unless there has been a new law to
change it, then they can do it. Also, there is no need to unlock your
phone unless you're planning to sell it or want to switch carriers to
someone else.

Hi listers.
I am very upset with AT&T. I have a iPhone 4s, that is out of
contract, so the bill with aT&T finished, and they say that I can't do
what ever I want to do with the phone, also I can continue been a AT&T
customer. But I don't want it. I asked them to unlock my iPhone 4s,
but they told me that they don't do it. That I have to find some one
who knows how do it.
I am looking on internet how unlock a iPhone that is out of contract,
but i can't fine anything any where.
What I have to do now?
Thanks
Pablo
