And if you happen to live in Canada then any new phone you buy now (or since last December) will be unlocked, carriers are no longer allowed to sell locked phones. Also, if you still have a locked phone they have to unlock it without a charge.

However, you must contact your carrier and request the unlock. Your carrier will release you and contact apple directly on your behalf. When you get an email from your carrier with instruction to unlock your phone, it means that they have already contacted apple And entered your phone’s info in the apple database. You only need to do restore via iTunes and your phone will be unlocked. Just look for the message congratulating you that your phone has been unlocked. This message verifies that the process went smoothly.

Just plug your phone to your computer, when iTunes comes up, select iPhone tab. First do a backup to your computer, although not required. Then you do restore. When the restore process is complete, you will get a message saying: Congratulations, your iPhone is now unlocked. That is all. You have to be patient, the process can be long.
