Can I unlock an iPhone 5 that is still in a 2 year contract?

So I'm going to be studying abroad next year and want to bring my iPhone 5, but I can't use it unless it's unlocked. So if my 2 year AT&T contract is still active with the iPhone 5, can I still unlock it? I've read many forums that many people have, but I can't be sure.

Ya. It is called JailBreaking. Get your phone to a technical service centre for phones and they will do it for you for 10 bucks. If you jailbreak your iPhone then you will lose your warranty

Yes but when you unlock (jail brake) you will lose warranty and then it would probably screw up your phone

NO! Unlocking is not the same as jailbraking. They are totally different things. Email me at stefan_zxcvb@live.com and I will tell you the detals
