Your Carrier may be able to do the service for you now based on how long you have had the phone and if it qualifies to be unlocked.

Thank you will try that, the contract date is supposed to end in Sept but we are going to a different carrier that will pay the early termination fee So hoping it can be done through them.

I use a little place near Tanforan mall in South San Francisco

It's opposite the big AT&T store and unlocks phones, sell unlocked phones etc..

They charged me $80 to unlock an iphone

If you don't mind going to Fremont I've had good results at:
Flash 2 UnLock - Mobile Phones - Fremont, CA - Yelp
