I recently purchased an iPhone 6s AT&T on eBay.Prior to purchase,I asked the seller about the ESN status and was told that the device has got a clean ESN.Hence,assuming that I would be able to unlock it for just about a dollar or two,(since I didn't want to use it with Att),I went ahead and purchased the phone.
Thereafter,on inquiring more,I came to know that it's under ATT Next plan.Also I requested Att on their website,for the unlock request,twice,but was denied,saying,"
You have not completed all the payments for your device according to your AT&T Next service agreement.

You can submit a new request once you complete all your device payments."
So,now I have two options.Either I can use it with AT&T as it has got a clean ESN and can be activated on their network,or I will have to buy third party unlocks,which although,are tried and tested,but would add up to the cost of my phone.
Hence,can somebody Please suggest me any other solution for unlocking the device?
Also,I need some one's help,who currently has an ATT line/phone number,I heard,if they request the unlock(with the IMEI I will be providing),the phone will be unlocked by AT&T.So please Help.Thanks
