My L521 was unlocked thanks to cellunlocker... but the catch was i had to wait 2 months, their explanation for the long delay was the Tmobile unlock policy crap and how slow and hard was the unlock request. So better keep in touch with them about your code request how long will take.
I got my o2 925 unlocked from a unlock provider on ebay uk costed ?20 and was supplied within 3days
Is it the T-Mobile US version? If so, it will be a few more days (about 30 total) before they email you and let you know that the code is not available. T-Mobile has been brutal about unlocking devices since they started the Payment and Jump programs. Too many devices walking off without being paid for is my guess.
If you really wanted to get it unlocked, you can do it after 40 days on the Simple Starter plan ($40 unlimited talk, text and 500MB data) - which means for $80, you can use the device for a few months and then have it unlocked for free through them.
It was subsidized. The price reflects that the buyer needs to use the phone for a while on AT&T with or without a contract. Obviously they can't make you use the phone at all and can't keep you from paying for and jumping thru the hoops to get someone else to unlock it. But the majority of buyers will use the phone on AT&T and many of them will be new customers and that's why they subsidize the price of the phone.I had first tried through AT&T, escalated to 2 levels of supervisors, but they wouldn't give me a code. It makes no sense to me, not on a contract, so it wasn't subsidized.

Got mine L925 unlocked from Vodafone UK from cellunlocker within 5 working days, good luck to you!
