What unlock code?
iPhones do not use unlock codes to unlock the carrier at all.
Please explain

In the US the carrier has to unlock the phone if you pay the full price or at the end of your contract. Sprint will give you the unlock code that tells Apple that the phone is unlock, and it can be use by another carrier.
The problem is, that Sprint will only give you the code, it is up to you to know how to enter the code so Apple will know you can use it on another carrier.
With an AT&T iPhone, AT&T will send the code to Apple, and after you restore your phone it will be unlock and can be use by any carrier.
As I understand it, it is some type of Manufacture code. I was thinking I call call Apple and see what they tell me what to do with the code. I hope this help, the above is what I know and have been told.
Thanks for any input.
There is no unlock code for iPhones. Sprint has a special link to Apple to request unlocks. Only Sprint can send the request to Apple.
I understand that, but then why when you contact them, they give you a code, but do not tell you how to unlock it. I was on the phone with them for 20 min. and this is what they told me. I think you are correct, because with AT&T that is what they did, but Sprint would only give me a number that I can not use.
Sprint is not used to unlocking iPhones. Other phones use codes for unlocking, and apparently Sprint agents haven't been trained about iPhones yet. Call them again.
Thank you, I will call them and maybe I will have to talk with a manager.
