Call AT&T. If your contract is paid in full and your account (or former account) in good standing, they will unlock it for you.

I have same situation here, my uncle will give his iphone to me. Its 2years at&t contract. He bought it at us apple store. And im living in indonesia. If i unlock it, how is the billing procedure? At&t will automatically stop the bill or will still auto debit my uncle's credit card until 2years to fulfill the contract? Sorry for the dumb question

Your uncle can call AT&T and close the account. His credit card will be charged an Early Termination Fee for ending the contract early. After that he can ask AT&T to unlock it.

What he said above.
Did many unlocks with them with no probs.
And offcourse all sites will require you to pay them. They dont unlock iphones for free.
This is a permanent carrier unlock. No matter how many times you update or restore your firmware it will always stay unlocked.

thanks for the link! im really interested in this.

have you had success with this on an iphone 5 even after the recent changes making unlocking 'illegal' if not done through the carrier?

get Factory Unlock (the best b'csu u can do updates) at:
appledatabase.com for $5.99 (24 hr service... worth the wait for cheap price)

***they actually re-sell the services of Novasd.com but for cheaper price (u'll c the Novasd.com name is your PayPal receipt)

DON'T MAKE IT COMPLICATED... after u receive Conf Email that iPhone is unlocked, all u do is put a Non-AT&T SIM Card on ur iPhone, wait like 30-60 seconds and the Slide-to--Activate...... this unlocks it!!! No more need to plug into iTunes or anything

After that, u'll get a message on your iPhone to do the Carrier Update... this updates ur iMessage, FaceTime, MMS, SMS, etc setting to go through T-Mo and not AT&T servers
