Apple doesn't do that; the carrier does.


Click on the link to read Apple's support article on "How to unlock your iPhone for use with a different carrier" - http://support.apple.com/HT201328 - Only some carriers offer the ability to unlock iPhone for use on any carrier. Follow the instructions in this article to unlock your iPhone.
