You need the blessing of both the carrier and apple to have a successful unlock.

The hacks really do not work on a iphone, because apple keeps track of the phone.

For other phones though, I have successfully unlocked phones using codes sold by ebay.

I was led to believe it was a scam, according to posts in an iphone forum.

And we've been doing that all along anyway.

One other point of interest is this:

"a minimum seven-day grace period in order to “top up” your prepaid card account and retain your balance."

It cannot be on contract though, unless the contract is paid in full. I do not see any loopholes, but I am sure they exist.

EDIT: Oh, maybe there is a loophole. I do not see anything saying the carrier cannot charge for unlocking.
