If you have T-Mobile just call them to have them unlock it... I believe you can do it twice a year if you switch phones. That's how I did it.
Or you could pay one of those online services to do it.
You can call tmobile and request unlock code. There are two stipulations, the phone has to have been activated on that line for 40 days for them to approve the unlock request and you can request unlock twice a year per line. Good luck.
Let's say T-Mobile really screwed up your account and they offered you a iPhone 7 Plus 32gb for free. Do you think they would unlock that?!?
Nope, I've had all my ( ~ 20 ) devices unlocked way before paying off the EIP. As long as your account is in good standing ( payments on time ) you shouldn't have any issues.
Thank you, I will look into it more. I think they should since they are giving it free, but we are talking about t-mobile...lol

Curious, if you unlock it could you go to another carrier without fully paying for it?!?
You can, but if the EIP payments stop prior to being completed, TMobile will blacklist the IMEI and may impact your credit negatively.
Just want to clarify here that Apple does not use unlock codes. There is no interaction on the part of the customer once the unlock request is made.

ALL iPhones unlocked are unlocked permanently.
T-Mobile plays cat and mouse games when it comes to unlocking full paid for iPhones. It better to buy it direct through Apple if you want an unlocked iPhone. I had to keep on then for a full two months before they sent me the unlocking code for my iPhone and luck I had an AT&T sims nano or I be stuck!
I really am ready to make payment for the unlocking but which site is reliable?
They didn't send you an unlock code. They sent you an email about the unlock.
Unless you'd care to tell us all how it is you entered an unlock code into an iPhone not designed to use unlock codes?
BTW, We had our T-Mobile iPhone 6s+ and 6s+ unlocked within two hours after waiting the 40 days required.
Yeah, same, here's what I got from my carrier
