How to Factory Unlock iPhone 4?

Question

I bought an iPhone4 recently in the US, WITHOUT CONTRACT, but its still AT&T locked. I bought it AT FULL PRICE, so i practically have a VERY EXPENSIVE IPOD.... how can i contact Apple to unlock my iPhone4? it is not fair and even unconstitutional (since i paid full price).
Please reply ASAP.

Hey..i hav bought an iphone 4 on the way back to my country a week before and i paid full price assuming that it would be carrier unlocked. I have already opened the box and tried to activate. Can i return the phone.
so you bought your phone in U.S for a full price thinking that it is unlocked? I'm sorry to tell you that no matter if you bought it a contract price (199/299) for a no contract pricing (full price), that it is still locked to AT&T, no official way of unlocking it. Apple and AT&T in U.S does not unlock the iphones.
I may ask, what was the reason why you purchased your phone in U.S and not in your country?
Since you opened it, if it's still within 30 day period, you can return it back in U.S but you will have to have a friend or relative or if you know anyone going to U.S. There will be a 10% restock fee to return it. If you are past 30 days, you might as well just sell it on e-bay and post that it is an U.S AT&T phone.
