Criteria is met on my end; Phone (iPhone 13 Pro Max) fully paid, etc. T-Mobile has me going in circles. Ive reset my phone, pulled the SIM card out(did not work). I’ve talked to supervisor at T-mobile and they expressed that they will solve the problem and expect a call back from them within 24-48hrs. Didn’t get a phone call back as promised. Also, they alway say that they’ll escalate the request. Today 26SEP23, I have reached T-Mobile through Messenger. Here is what they said…
“You're welcome! Thank you again for your time and patience! It is genuinely appreciated! I've sent that email to escalate the request to unlock your device IMEI. I will follow up with you on 10/1/23! Thank you for being the best part of T-Mobile! Talk to you then! ^Lucia Andrade.”
