You want them to help pay for your phone and to let you go use it on another carrier? It doesn't make sense for them.
To be clear, it is not illegal to unlock your phone. It is illegal to unlock your phone if you are under contract, which you signed.

Aren't you still bound by the contract? Unlocked or not you are still either paying the monthly bill or have payed the ETF.
