For what is is worth I have raised this claim with the FCC
--------------------------------------------------
I bought an Iphone 3gs from ATT with a two year contract, which I have now fulfilled
So I ordered a new Iphone 4s binding myself to another 2 years with ATT.
I wanted to use the old phone when in Europe, so I asked ATT for the unlock code
but ATT declined giving me the unlock code.(their case KMM38....................)
Any other telephone carrier, here and overseas will let you unlock
your phone, when you have fulfilled your part of the contract.
Sprint will unlock their iPhones

ATT will unlock other telephones, as described in this comment from 2008

Hence: When I bought my Iphone 3gs two years ago I had no reason to
believe that ATT would decline unlocking after I full filled my contract.
Since ATT wil not unlock the new phone either I returned it, having to
pay a $35 restock fee.
A new unlocked 8Gb 3GS costs $375
A new unlocked 32Gb Iphone 4s costs $749
Mine is a iPhone 3gs 32Gb and would be priced somewhere in between: $..
I hereby make a claim of $.. + $35 = $.. or ATT can unlock my iPhone
