upon reading this thread, I looked up unlockfusion on google. Found a link to their ebay store and it was 1.99 to unlock. For that price, I was willing to give it a shot, although I was skeptical.
It worked, but because I don't have a different SIM to use at the moment, I had to restore, which meant going from 6.1.2 to 6.1.3, so no jailbreak for me, but my phone is unlocked!
