you can try contacting them through one of their social media platforms like Facebook or Twitter and see if they can get the ball rolling a bit quicker. you start with tier 2 support instead of the call in tier 1 support..

 

how long ago was your first call to TMO to get this unlocked? Apple devices TMO must request Apple to unlock...which takes a bit of time compared to Android phones..

I have met all the requirements and the rep checked that but every requests (4 times!) phone still locked. I don’t know what else to do. It’s extremely frustrating!!!
