Device suspended need help

Hi my husbands is active duty military and we just moved to Germany. We were told we need to suspend our devices and get an unlock code so we can use a different chip, I requested the unlock code and it said the installment isn't payed off and I can't call out help please.

There is no such thing as a temporary unlock.  Unlocked is unlocked.

Thank you I finally got ahold of them and that's what they told me. And since my husband came here on orders they waived the installment payment.

In case someone else needs help in the future and comes across this thread, here is the procedure:

A request through the normal unlocking site will not work, you have extra steps to go through.
