What is the meaning of unlock? And Is there any way to unlock it for free?

Unlock, Jailbreak, etc....

Free no, but, $9 yes... or you can think apphub.com (a dev account) but, those cost $99 unless you have a .EDU email account then you can go on dreamspark.com and create a WP7 developer account for possably free.

OR !!! If you have a phone model that supports a DFT custom rom, you might be able to "flash" a rom. You need to spend time at XDA reading. One wrong move could leave your phone worthless (aka a Brick) but, if your phone supports it, it could open up ICS and other cool stuff.

There are 2 types of unlock in WP7.

The first type is "Carrier Unlock" which allows your phone to be used on any network with any SIM card.

The second type, which we refer to it often here is "Developer Unlock" which means that your phone has the ability to install XAP files without the need of having to go through the official Marketplace.

From your case, I highly doubt your phone is "Developer Unlocked" from T-Mobile. It seems to me that it's more likely that T-Mobile used their own ROM of WP7, hence the presence of their apps.

If you have a Samsung device and want to developer unlock and interop unlock it, head on over to http://windowsphonehacker.com/windowbreak on your mobile browser. It'll take care of the rest.

If your device is already unlocked with AppHub, Chevron Labs, etc., your device does not need it, and you won't receive much benefit from using it.
