iPhone's IMEI Issue

Is there any way I can unlock my iPhone's IMEI? The carrier (Net10) I've been using for five years and Net10 refused to unlock the iPhone that I paid fully unlocked from Best Buy when I tried to transfer service to a new SIM card for a better data. I've tried to contact both old and new carriers to work this out for three days now and still couldn't do it.


Any suggestions to have IMEI unlocked? I still have the receipt as well as it said it is supposed to be an unlocked iPhone.

Only the carrier that locked iPhone can officially unlock, not Apple or anyone.

FYI: Best Buy does not sell unlocked iPhone, only Apple Stores sell unlocked iPhone.
