Only AT&T can unlock that device, if you're eligible.

Where did you buy it?

If you purchased it from a retailer other than Apple (e.g. Best Buy, Target, Walmart, etc.) then it is NOT unlocked.

Best Buy does NOT sell unlocked phones.

The phones they sell will lock to the first US carrier used.

You will have to contact AT&T and request an unlock.
