Hi Edward and all, With Apple iPhone, usually it got limited lock instead of full lock. This mean, you can done it with a pass code release from your telco, and iTunes.
What i've done with my phones are to contact the telco, usually 48 hours after purchase, and tell them the reason why i need to unlock the phone, (going to travel to overseas) will be the reason i use, and they will usually authorise for the unlock. Then, 12 to 24 hours later, simply connect your phone to iTunes and do a complete iOS restore, the phone will be unlock from any telco. Hope this help PS: i did this for iPhone4 and 5, unless they change on 5S...
