Maybe. It depends on the provider. Many providers lock their phones so they can sell them to you at a discount price, and want to make you buy service from them so they make their profit back.

Some phones can be unlocked using an interface program with your PC, others can only be unlocked by asking your provider very nicely. For example, you may try telling them you are permanently moving out of the country and will need to switch providers.
