unfair practice

The mistake I made is when I bought my Samsung S22 at Costco and the T Mobile people that have there store there was they never told me that the phone was locked by T Mobile and when I decided to go with Consumer Cellular It has been a nightmare. Even though we finally put in a new Sime card T Mobile was still lurking inside the phone.

So to end my frustrations I bought a new phone and made sure it was an unlocked one and opted to go with AT&T.

Costco should be aware, if there not already, that this in my opinion is not good business.

I haven’t received the new phone yet as they send it to you and you then take it to the techs at the Target store and they set it all up for you.

So far this has been a pleasant outing with Target and hopefully all will workout.

If not I will let you all know.

I can’t’ believe that just buying a phone and getting service has become such an ordeal and expensive.

Bottom line is when you buy a new phone make sure its not locked and you can transfer to a different carrier when you want to.

I learned the hard way. 

I bought a new Google Pixel.

Wish me Luck. 

For future reference all carrier phones are sold as locked.
