Unlocking Esim on new phone

I bought a phone from Xfinity and I have been trying to unlock this phone to transfer carriers. I have spoken to 5+ agents telling me they will solve my issue and the ESim is still locked. They made me activate the line and yet I still don't have it unlocked and was promised a confirmation email and never got one. The most recent agent said he would rise the ticket and i never got a confirmation for that either I dont know what to do.

@user_xkp2l0 Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us here on our Xfinity Forums. In order for us to unlock a device it must meet the following eligibility requirements:

Active on Xfinity Mobile: At least 60 days.
Account in Good Standing: No past-due balances.
Device Paid Off: If financed, must be fully paid.

Does your phone meet all of the above requirements?

Yes I meet all of those requirements and every single agent has been unsuccessful in unlocking my phone. Some even lying to me to just end the chat I am just trying to get this solved.
