Samsung unlocking can be done via 2 methods:

1. Unlock by Cable

This involves using some software and connecting your phone by using a cable (and sometimes a so called unlock box) and software to unlock your phone. Unlocking time is up to 10 minutes max. When using remote unlocking this is usually the cheaper method but requires some computer knowledge

2. Unlock by codes (unlock by IMEI) This is the most easy way. All you need to provide is your IMEI (*#06#) and the site will lookup your codes (they come from Samsung themselves if you use a genuine website). Everybody can do this however this method is slower (takes 30 minutes up to 24 hours depending on the region). This method is not available in Asia / Japan / Middle East & Africa. And some providers (especially in South America) tend to 'hardlock' the phone in which case you need to flash a non branded firmware to the phone first to solve this problem (which is pretty advanced stuff to do).

Always e very carefull for websites offering sim unlocking for prices lower then 6 USD because they are probably scamming you / selling you crap. Unlocking this model is not for free if you want to do it reliable. If you MUST do it free then check xda-developers.com forum. If there is a free method that works and does not destroy your phone you will find it there.
