How can you unlock your cell phone?

Question

I would like to go to another carrier. The carrier I have now wants to charge 250.00 dollars. That is a rip off considering I bought the phone and went on a pay as you go plan. Are there any companies that you can trust to unlock your phone?
Thank You

Challenge them in small claims court. This is illegal. You bought it, you own it. they don't have the right to lock it and make it where you can't use it. They can't dictate what or where you use it if you own it.
