Help unlocking a T-Mobile Priv

[jberb1984]

I bought a "used" t-mobile priv in an unopened box for $200. It has a clean imei and has never been activated. Would be a great deal but I need to use it on AT&T and that has been an issue

I went to a T-Mobile store first then called their customer support. No help. They said I have to be a T-Mobile customer for them to do anything.

Next I called BlackBerry customer support. All he could tell me was to call t-mobile.

I tried two different unlocking sites (BlackBerryCodeSource and unkockunit) both sites went passed their estimated time frame, told me they can't find the code, any issued me a refund.

The only option I see now is to buy a prepaid t-mobile sim($20), add $100 to the account, and wait 30 days...

Im hoping someone here can help me find a quicker and / or cheaper solution to my problem.

I would try calling t-mobile again and seeing if you can work your way up. As a t-mobile customer, I've found their customer service to be very helpful, but granted I've never called them as a competitors customer. If the "3rd party unlockers" don't have a code for it, than you're only way would be through official channels. It may be worth looking into selling it back off and using the funds to pick up an AT&T or already unlocked version. You may even find someone to even trade with.
