Just chatted with Sprint to get my iphone 6 DSU and ISU and I'm told that they can't do it and that Apple will be releasing an update some time in the next 2 weeks that will make that feature automatically available. She wasn't certain of the exact time frame but she was adamant that Sprint was not responsible for this action.

I love Sprint 🙄

Well hopefully you love Apple too, because its actually Their Unlock policy that carriers have to follow. They do this for other carriers too, its not just sprint.

Thats true, check the link and the Sprint FAQ about unlocking provided by phonescoop and it shows DSU for iphone is available on February 19, 2015 when apple releases software update to allow unlocking. ISU also comes from apple and not the carrier , you call Sprint to request unlock, Sprint sends unlock request to Apple and then Apple sends unlock for iphone SIM. To unlock device you must connect to itunes , Android phone do it over the air. Apple controls all on the iphones and not the carriers.

*Domestic SIM Unlock capable as of 2/19/15 from Sprint Site check the asterisk near the device list
