I'm a t mobile customer, I bought a metro pcs phone thinking it's compatible with t mobile but it's locked.. how do I unlock this metro pcs phone to use on my t mobile account..I called metro pcs and they said I have to wait X amount of days.. is there any other way I can unlock this phone to use for t mobile, instead of waiting those days, even if I have to pay a small fee??

 

If you bought the device from a Metro PCS store.  Return it for a refund minus the restocking fee.  SIM unlocks for Metro devices must meet all of the Metro by T-Mobile SIM unlock requirements.  If you bought the phone second hand or off of a website like Ebay.  The original owner would have to request the SIM unlock if their account and the device meets the SIM unlock requirements that Metro by T-Mobile has.  You might want to check the sellers return policy to see if they accept returns.  If it is an Android device.  You can more than likely get it SIM unlocked for a fee through various online SIM unlocking services for a fee or at your local cellphone repair shop for a fee.
