T-Mobile glitch lets Samsung customers unlock phones for FREE

Some T-Mobile customers found a way to unlock their Samsung Galaxy devices without paying them off. While this hack is a kind of illegal attempt to ditch the contract with the carrier, the software glitch is allowing consumers to unlock their devices early.

Smartphones being sold in the US either be carrier-unlocked or carrier-locked. Phone makers sell both carrier-locked and unlocked variants from their sites. However, network operators offer the best purchase offers, even giving a new device at no cost in favor of adding new line.

If you buy a device from the carrier’s website/platform, you will have to stick with the carrier with the carrier until you pay off the device. Meanwhile, several Reddit users have found a software glitch, which has been further verified by The Mobile Report on their unit.

The hack is simple as you first have to request for Temporary Unlock and then request for Permanent Unlock from your T-Mobile/Samsung phone’s Settings. While the glitch allows you to bypass the requirement of paying off before unlocking, it is a violation of your agreement with T-Mobile if you proceed.

We are sure that Samsung and/or T-Mobile will immediately come up with their stand on the glitch. Whether this glitch is derived from the manufacturer or network provider, it will be addressed. The carrier might then relock or send notice to pay the remaining amount to customers.
