iphone5 ATT no commitment plan unlocked?

[xenosaga7]

when I tried to preorder iphone5 from the att site, there was an option for no commitment,which doesn't lock me in with 2 year plan, but paying the full price for the phone. If I buy this option, does the iphone come unlocked, or can I ask att to unlock my iphone?

Most likely it will be unlocked like last year.
But noone is 100%.

If you want it unlocked, get it directly from Apple not AT&T just to be sure.

No commitment price mean it will still be locked but you can call them to unlock immediately, you have that right since you bought the phone in full price.

Here is what att have to say:
Additional information about iPhone unlocks
Current customers will be allowed five (5) unlocks per account, per year, so long as their account is in good standing with no past-due amount or unpaid balance and has been active for at least sixty (60) days.
Former customers will be allowed five (5) unlocks per former account so long as they owe AT&T no Early Termination Fee or other unpaid balance.
In addition, AT&T will unlock an iPhone for: (i) an active and deployed member of the military who is a current AT&T customer in good standing and is able to provide AT&T with deployment verification; and (ii) a person who purchased the iPhone from an authorized location at the "no commitment" price and can provide proof of purchase.
