I have been trying to unlock my phone for a month now.

Try using messenger on one of Tmobile's social media pages like Facebook or Twitter to see if they can help. They have a knack in unlocking phones.

Yes, but that device almost always locks to the first SIM you put into the device. Apple's Reseller and Flex Policies are very unfriendly.
Actually, my iPhone 14 that I bought from Apple with trade in and monthly payment credits (so free) that I use on TMo is unlocked. The following is from Apples FAQ page
Will my new iPhone be unlocked?
Yes. An iPhone purchased from apple.com(Opens in a new window) is unlocked. Once your new iPhone is activated, it remains unlocked, which means you can use it with any network that provides service for iPhone. The exception is when you buy an iPhone with an AT&T Installment Plan. It will be locked to AT&T and will only work on the AT&T network for the term of your Installment Plan agreement.
That's news to me, but that's a good thing.
It's the same with the Pixel line. You buy it from Google on installment plan from them it comes unlocked but if you buy one from Tmobile or other 3rd party reseller the phone will come locked and unlocks after 40 days on a Tmobile installment plan.
