Remember that in 2013, it became illegal, under the DMCA for someone to unlock their smart phone through a 3rd party. It was still legal to do this through your carrier though. In 2014 the US administration reversed this and made it legal for individuals to unlock their own devices. The Consumer Code for Wireless Service is a voluntary agreement that all of the major and most other carriers in the US have implemented on unlocking customers smart phones. I'm not sure if this helps at all, or if it's just an interesting bit of history at this point.
