Moto G Pure unlock

I have bought my phone of someone in Australia which turned out to be locked by T-Mobile USA. I never knew it was locked especially to an American company. I have tried to unlock it and paid for it twice to get the code to unlock it. It costed me more than $100 just to unlock it but it never worked. I got emails back from the unlocking company saying the IMIE number is fake which is what  T-Mobile USA got back to the company trying to unlock it for me or I get asked to contact T-Mobile to unlock it or by visiting one of T-Mobile stores which is not possible because I am in Australia. When I contacted T-Mobile they couldn't unlock it for me either.... So what do I do now? Please help if you can... 

 

Attached screenshots including IMIE NUMBER.... 

 

GRACIAS 👍

 

  • You will need to send it to your sister since it needs to be activated on Tmobile towers. The quickest way is opening a prepaid plan with $100 in refills and using on Tmobile towers for 17 days.

    Considering how little the AUD is worth in comparison to the USD.  You might be better off visiting your local cellphone repair shop to see if they can unlock it for you for a fee.  By the time you ship that to Florida, get the SIM, add the $100 USD in refills, wait the 17 days after activation, request the SIM Unlock (which might take a few more days or more), and then shipping it back to Australia once SIM unlocked...  You could just buy a new phone or have had that one SIM unlocked locally for a lot cheaper.
