Unlock Verizon Phone

[snootalope]

I'm currently using a TP2 that already has the update to 6.5 on it but I'd like to go to the MR2 that everyone is talking about. I download MR. X's version, but apparently I need to unlock my SIM first.

I've used the search on here but I keep finding sprint users, I've got Verizon. It's my business phone so I need to be sure I do this right. Just to be sure, when I go to Start/settings/all settings/personal/Security - this asks for a SIM unlock code. That means it's not already unlocked correct?

So, how do I go about unlocking this verizon TP2 so I can install Mr. X's update?

Thanks and sorry for wasting a new topic on a pretty basic question.
