anyone paying $40 is getting ripped off.

AT&T supposedly upgraded their internal CS tool which has more security for unlocking phones. before a lot more people had access to the unlocking part of the tool than now

It seems I may stand corrected. I no longer the see the options that existed two weeks ago. Sorry guys.
How can you get it for $2?
I did the unlock two weeks ago, had to scroll around to find the "I'm in no hurry and happy if it takes 12 hours" $2 rate, but had the unlock later that night.
As alent1234 suggests, the loophole swiftunlocks had been using may no longer be available.
I have got over 10 iPhones unlocked below that price. I remember a guy on eBay unlocked 2 phones below $1.How can you get it for $2?
Let's hope the days come back !!

Looks like the party is over. I did a little research subsequent to the posts above.
From http://harvestcellular.net/att-iphone-unlocking-service-shutdown-for-good/
Confirmed from a few legitimate sources, we can now confirm the shutdown stems from AT&Ts side. The masses of unlockers (mostly the larger guys pushing volume at the under $1 range) used a handful of direct sources to AT&T to fulfill their customers unlocking request (or had direct access themselves). AT&T unlocking requirements were simply not checked as hard or prevented through this direct channel compared to individual contract customers requirements. AT&T simply decided to become more strict overnight and instead of policing the IMEI unlock submissions they disabled a majority of the direct sources access and only left a few options and vendors access intact. This doesnt mean everyone who was working direct was abusing the system. It simply means that direct supply is now limited to far fewer direct vendors. With these vendors having less competition to worry about, prices will go up.
Most unlock vendors have since reinstated IMEI unlocking services on their website along with IMEI Status checks; at a varying cost of $20-$35 per unlock. Expect the cost to remain in the same ball park for the long haul and kiss the days of cheap (under $1) unlocks goodbye forever!
Regular prices is $25-$30 for most.
5S/5C are currently taking 2-3days.

Any recommendation for any ebay or amazon unlock seller? $39.99 from http://www.swiftunlocks.com is way too expensive.
