A quick google search will point you to know that Tmobile has to unlock your phone and not OnePlus. In this case, you were let down by Tmobile who say that the phone is not "in their system". Which I think means that it first needs to be activated on their network, and only then once the IMEI has been registered they can unlock it.
EDIT: Has anyone tried to contact Tforce on Twitter or FB to get the phone unlocked? They are usually more knowledgeable than your phone-based CS.

I'm no OnePlus fanboy but, yes, I have enjoyed the couple of phones by them that I have owned. Because these points will inevitably be brought up and beat to death on this post;
- yes, the camera could be better but it is still FAR from bad and can take some amazing photos. I have side loaded the latest Google camera app from XDA Developers and I honestly switch back and forth between the OnePlus camera and the Google camera apps depending on lighting and situation (I realized they reach have strengths and weaknesses pretty quickly when comparing the same photos taken with each).
- Yes, OnePlus has taken a big change in brand direction since the original CEO left and merging with sister companies. It was inevitable and there are other brands that have battled to be the next "flagship killers" out there. It is what it is and doesn't take away from this phone.
- No, there is no wireless charging on these phones but the wired charging speeds are ridiculous. I have not noticed ANY battery degradation in the ~1 year of use. It is excellent. I haven't plugged this phone in overnight once since owning it because 20-30 minutes in the morning and afternoon is plenty. YMMV depending on usage.
- Yes, there are better phones but you will be hard pressed to find one that performs at this level for this price. You can wait and see what is released in the next few months that will make this model more outdated or you can take advantage of the price and have a very capable device for another 2 years.
Overall, I am always tempted to have the latest and greatest but this phone is just damn good. I would love to have the absolute best camera, screen, and overall specs but I ultimately got this phone for free through bill credits with T-Mobile so it was a no brainer for me. I would say this price is very fair and a solid deal for an excellent phone that will suit nearly everyone's desires. It is fast, has a great screen (I get compliments on it from coworkers), charges quickly, maintains battery integrity, and is reliable.
