This Random Glitch Lets You Unlock Your T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Phone

A brand that offers mobile services is a mobile carrier, or, we can say, a wireless service provider. Basically, mobile carriers offer cellular connectivity to mobile devices.
A customer who buys smartphones from any carrier is obviously locked into some sort of payment plan, and during the entire period of the plan, the smartphone will be network-locked, which means that they are not eligible to bring it to another network. Then, once their plan gets over, they can contact the carrier and ask for the network unlocked so that they can take it to another provider as per their convenience.
At the moment, T-Mobile Samsung smartphone users are facing a glitch that is allowing them to network unlock T-Mobile Samsung phones. It can’t be said whether this glitch is fortunate or unfortunate yet.
However, it appears that folks, along with Samsung phones on T-Mobile, can bypass this restriction all because of a strange glitch. This is being speculated upon by reports of Tmo.Report, and multiple Redditors also claim this instant glitch. Basically, by this glitch, all the users have to do is just a few simple taps on their phones, by which they can get the network unlocked regardless of whether or not they still have payments left on their plans.
The interested T-Mobile carrier’s users can easily unlock their network by just following the steps mentioned here:
- Go to the Settings app
- Scroll down to tap on Connections.
- Open More Connection Settings.
- Press the “Network Unlock” button.
- Place a request for a temporary unlock.
- Wait for a while, then request a permanent unlock.
- At last, reboot your device just to make sure it worked, and then check your lock status and find that you are now network unlocked.
Noticeably, before following the steps, though, be sure to understand that this is absolutely a violation of your TOS with T-Mobile, so the users are recommended to follow the instructions at their own risk.
Somewhere, it is expected that soon T-Mobile and Samsung will fix this glitch, obviously. And once the users unlock their device, it would not be that easy for the T-Mobile carrier to relock it, especially in the scenario where users install the unlocked version of Android, which Samsung officially provides directly to consumers.
