There's a lot to discuss.. A LOT.

Unlocking allows a phone from one carrier (AT&T) to be used on a different carrier that uses the same technology.

AT&T and T-Mobile use the same technology. Verizon and Sprint use a different technology.

You can unlock an AT&T Bold and use it on T-Mobile - except you won't get 3G. It's complicated. You can never use a Bold on Verizon.

If you unlock it, you can still use it on your original carrier.

Given the number of questions - there is no reason for you to use the unlock code. It won't expire. And it can only be used once on a specific phone.
