Can I get At&t unlock code?

There is no such thing as an unlock code or unlocked vs locked firmware. Locked and unlocked iPhones run the same firmware. They simply talk to servers at Apple that say for each phone whether it's locked or unlocked. When a UK carrier (O2) for example unlock a phone they simply update the database and it's done next time the phone activates with the activation server.
As to why AT&T won't do it: they don't want to.

That is false.
AT&T will never unlock any iphone locked to their network.
If you buy it full price from Apple then its officially unlocked.
Talking or arguing with AT&T wont get you anywhere either.
no unlock codes but they can unlock it still
Hello
There aren't any codes used in unlcokign iphones. once you have completed you contract or have paid of the ETF, you can go online and fill out the iphone unlock request form. Be aware that if you have not meet one of these requirments, and your phone has been reported lost ot stolen, you will not qualify for it. From experience i met all requirments but they denied me an unlock for my phone. To resolve this i simply called them or started a chat and eventually got my phones unlocked once they reviewed my qualifications. to date i have successfully unlocked 3 iphones through the carrier. You only qualify for 6(i believe thats the right amount) unlocks per year.

once att has approved the unlock, youll need to simply plug your phone into itunes and your phone will do the rest. you might need to restore so your jailbreak, if you have one, will be gone. your itunes will display a message telling you its been unlocked.
if you have a jailbreak and want to keep it but still want it unlocked, i recomment using GPP sim. They sale it on amazon and its like 12 bucks wiht expedited shipping.(just tried this on a blacklisted iphone 4s)

Okay if your trying to unlock your iPhone call AT&T they will help you with that or go to the AT&T store for a faster process time cause over the phone they will just lead you to the online unlock request site and I think that takes 24 hours or so I think but if you want a alternative unlockfusion.net is hella cheap in unlocking AT&T iPhones and fast

AT&T will unlock your iPhone do not listen to what these guys are saying. My iPhone 5 was unlocked day 1 when the iPhone 5 was released

You don't need to restore your phone or plug it into iTunes. They tell you that but you don't have cause when I had gotten my iPhone 5 when it was released. AT&T unlock it right then and there for me and I went to T-Mobile for a sim and it was up and running just fine without plugging in or restoring

If you finished your contract AT&T will unlock it... Since when iPhones can't be unlock? I think your stuck in the past years where we had to use Ultra S sim cards/GPP sim cards or jailbreak to unlock an iPhone
