As you buy a cellphone, it is in mos cases a situation where, you buy it with a binding contract with a legal obligation to maintain your bought subscription through your operator/service provider, it is indeed very illegal to unlock a cellphone before the time is up. Once the time expires, however, or if you simply buy the phone with no subscription or services, then you can unlock it, however, it should be unlocked by default - or your former operator can unlock it for you.
