If you've had service on your phones for a year, in the USA, your carrier MUST unlock your phone for you.

They all have unlocking terms on their sites you can find with a quick search, some with even lesser service requirements.
For the illegitimate unlocking services, I would highly discourage the use of random websites you've found. Ebay has plenty of sellers who offer unlock codes, where users can post negative feedback and can get refunds.
Those unlock codes only work for GSM services like ATT and T Mobile. Verizon and Sprint services require a valid IMEI, and that's tracked in a carrier database, where only they can mark it "unlocked" and available for service on other carriers (MVNOs).
