There is always a problem when you buy a new smartphone from a carrier instead of directly from the manufacturer. While it may seem like these phones offer a discount or even offer it for free with a plan, it also means you’ll be stuck with the carrier until you pay for the device. And operators understandably do this to deter fraud, so it’s usually a win-win scenario.
However, today it seems that T-Mobile customers found a way to unlock their Samsung devices without having to pay them. This is, of course, due to a strange software bug discovered by several Redditors. Even The mobile report has been added to the trick to verify if it can be trusted.
Although there are several publications that have already reported on this issue and shared the steps on how to do it, we must warn you that this is a violation of your agreement with T-Mobile. That said, we won’t share the steps on how to “permanently” unlock your unpaid Samsung device.
However, what we can assure you is that this is a software issue that is currently available at the time of writing this article. Once you unlock your device, it will also appear that way on your T-Mobile account.
If you decide to try the steps to unlock your device, it may not even work at this time, depending on how quickly T-Mobile and Samsung respond to the problem. It also appears to only work on certain Samsung devices that are locked to the T-Mobile network.
Again, we do not recommend that you try to unlock your device in this way, as you may face consequences if you violate their TOS.
