If you own the phone (e.g. you bought it outright, or got it used from Kijiji), you can unlock it for anywhere between $10 to $30 depending on the model and carrier it is locked to.
I have had good service from http://www.cellunlocker.net/ You can get a quote from them by entering your phone info (including IMEI).

Hello Stephen,
I would pay Bell the $50 because if they brick it, there is a chance that they will replace the phone.
Read the Terms and Conditions associated with the unlocking and ask them questions first, however.
Cheers, Amos

Well Android is kinda Linux based ....
Now that I can walk from my Bell Mobility contract I am looking to unlock my phone.
Free tutorials do not work on my current Android OS version. 4.4.2
I see a number of web sites offering unlocking that cost about $50. That is what Bell charges.
I went to a computer outlet store and they quoted $35. Not sure if I get a guarantee, so Bell at $50 is still a consideration.
Any and all comments and suggestion most welcome!
