You need to return it since the insurance company owns it.

I don't want to use it with another carrier though. I want to keep using t-mobile, I just don't know how to get it unlocked. Only my new phone shows up on find my phone or else I would unlock it on there. Although, just to point out, like I said, I bought it factory unlocked so it's not tied to any carrier but since I want to continue with t-mobile how do I get it unlocked? The phone is still on and it rings and has service since it's been getting paid even though it was stolen.
