Hmm, according to https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/omnipoint-communications https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/omnipoint-communicat... Omnipoint was bought (for $4.5b? no lol) in 1999 by https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/omnipoint-voicestream https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/omnipoint-voicestrea... (VoiceStream), which of course became T-Mobile once they were bought by Deutsche Telekom. Interesting. (The phone number (!) in the first link is the T-Mobile Corporate Offices number.)
Maybe that explains why everyone looking at is going "nnnoooope" because the number's owned by someone 3 times removed from existence and those are probably really hard to fix.
I'm curious who the MVNO was, given it clearly wasn't OmniPoint?
The only idea I can think of is to go as far down the *enterprise* rabbithole as possible, if you didn't already try that ( :/ ? ) - in my own experience (with comparatively tiny issues) I've found far less gatekeeping and "wrong number" than the (Interesting™ O.o) phone menus would suggest. Also, one day I also found the enterprise number I'd squirreled away randomly turned into a totally different department (whole new phone menu + tree) but apparently went to the same phones, so don't just try random/wrong phone options, but wrong/unlikely-looking departments' phone numbers too, they might be hubs not spokes. Oh - and calling somewhere Important™ (eg, network operations) at 11:30PM-12AM-1AM might net you a bored, idly curious night person with a bunch of lateral capacity who might not mind the opportunity to do something interesting during their shift lol
