Is there anyway to unlock a phone for free? All the sites ive seen online charge for it
Yeah it's called having a brain and doing a bit of research instead of clicking the first 3 results on google.

Search for your model on the xda forums and start reading. If it's SGS2 you'll probably find plenty of resources there, maybe even fairly easy to use tools.
Just need to read stuff carefully.

its a samsung galaxy S2 X SGH-T989D
So if I root my phone it will also unlock to any provider?

Well you have a model and a site to start googling, best thing is to start reading. For the record I took full 2-3 evenings to read through guides, rom threads, etc to get a decent grasp of what to do and expect with my current phone.
With the retarded way US providers handle phones you'll want to be careful and really make sure you're using the right shit. Things are a tad easier for samsung international models (and even with those you sometimes have arbitrary variance and retarded model naming schemes).
If you only want to root though, it'll likely be relatively easy unless there's some extra fuckery going on.

Sorry I haven't the faintest clue how that stuff works, never had to deal with shit like that as I've never seen a sim-locked phone where I live (I think they might be illegal).
call the fucking provider and ask for the unlock code

This.
They are legally obligated to allow you to unlock it.

ok, we all get it, this is the first time you come across a problem in your life.
other anon kindly gave you a rough idea and a website to do some research and find out what's best for your phone.
Do you want someone else to do it for you, pay one of the online scam sites and carry on, if not stop being a fucking pussy and read a couple of posts on that site and do it yourself. It's not hard and there's a chance you'll learn something in the process.
