It can be done but only your carrier can unlock the phone. Read about it in Apple Support here:

Apple does not control this. Only the carrier can unlock the phone.


Your first step....... contact your current carrier to ask them to unlock the phone. Please note that they are under no obligation to do this though, so they may or may not be able to help you.


If your carrier will not unlock the phone for you, you will have to keep using their service. Or, if you want to use another carrier, you will need a new phone.
