How hard is it to get T Mobile to unlock a new iPhone purchased at full retail price? Do I have to sign up for service?

I don't know if the new law regarding unlocking phones makes it so that they have to unlock a phone immediately if you're not under contract.

I apologize if this has been already asked and answered. I wasn't able to locate it.

Thanks!

If you're going to pay full price then just buy it from Apple and it will already be unlocked. There's no reason to buy one from T-Mobile unless you're doing their installment plan.
