Thread title edited for clarity...

If you are not an AT&T customer you will need to find a third party unlocking service to unlock it for you.

AT&T has removed 3rd party unlocking capabilities, so unfortunately, the only way to unlock an iPhone that is locked to AT&T under contract is to submit their carrier unlock form you can find on their website. The phone cannot be under contract to unlock it though...it also has to be past the 14 day return window.
