You can check on youtube man!
AT&T will unlock it. Call them and they will send you the unlock code. Then you restore using iTunes to finalize it.
If you're the original owner of the phone and the phone has gone through the full 2 year contract and your account is paid in full, you can contact at&t and request that the phone is unlocked. Or you can do it online, search at&t unlock request on google.
EDIT: Your friend can do it, they just have to call. They'll need the IMEI number located in the phones settings under General and then About and the account number and they can fill out the form or call at&t. The form is called an unlock request form. It takes two seconds to fill out if you just ask them to do it, it's not a hassle. It usually takes 3-7 days after you fill out the form for it to officially be unlocked.

^ There's a link to the form.
Send it to your friend with the IMEI number.
You are saying that you are not the original owner. In that case you can use a third party factory unlock, which is the same, but the only think that differs is that you would have to pay for it. For an old iPhone like this it would be around 20-30 bucks. Search on eBay or use the link below to use such service. I suppose that the original carrier of the iPhone is AT&T. If it is not the case you have to use a third party service for the original carrier of the phone.
- Switch from iPhone 6 to iPhone 6 plus on same carrier? So I just broke my iPhone 6 screen. My dad has his old 6 plus lying around (He got an s7 the other day). We both have Verizon. If I wanted to switch phones, but retain my phone #, could I just put my SIM card into his phone? Or is it more complicated than that?
- Is the tmobile iPhone 5 already unlock? And will the tmobile 5 work on AT&T? I have recently been looking at buying an iPhone 5 and I found someone, but they have tmobile an I have AT&T. Will it work on AT&T? Also, how much would the newer SIM card be?
- If I purchased my iPhone 6 Plus in full price from Tmobile, can I have my carrier switched to Metro Pcs? If I purchased my iPhone from tmobile in full price, is my phone unlocked to be switched to a new carrier? Also, if not will tmobile charge me to unlock my phone?
- If I buy an iphone used from another carrier ad buy a sim card from my carrier will that work? I have an iphone 4s with virgin mobile and I want an iphone 5 but all virgin mobile phones are so expensive! I looked on ebay for virgin mobile nano sim cards and they are only around 2 dollars. If I bought one of these sim cards and a used iphone 5 from another carrier would it work with my carrier?
