Mine was, I bought it unlocked straight from Samsung.

I did not sign up for Google fi or even download the Google fi app.

Was your phone unlocked? Because I just tried what you did and it did not work.

Same here, luckily I had an old Verizon SIM that was still active. I installed on my z fold 3 and after a couple reboots I checked for the update and there it was. It's just sad that we have to resort to such tricks to get an update, definitely Tmobile is dropping the ball big time here.

I just used an old AT&T sim. It rebooted and the android 12 update popped up. BAM!!

Thank you mattbehnken from the previous comment I did the same thing accept I used an old Verizon Sim update Sim settings automatically reboot phone since Sim wasn't activated connected to wifi check for update and found the latest Android 12 update hell yeah thanks man.

I bought the unlocked version but since I'm on Tmobile I cannot get the update, that is just awful all other carriers already have it! Need to up your game Tmobile no one believes you are actually doing something with the software just release ir already!

And atop

And atop that, T-Mobile doesn’t even bother to respond to the inquiries of the customers that purchased the $1,800 phone from them.

Samsung advised users of the Fold and flip 3 to ask T-Mobile why they have yet to release the android  12 update.  Verizon and At&t released already and T-Mobile has not. Samsung said they have done their part and now its 100% on T-Mobile.  So what's the hold up?

I wonder if it would be worth asking this question on twitter. Lots of businesses seem to respond quickly when complained about, there.

As a Fold 3 user, I’m frustrated with T-mobile’s ponderous “testing” pace, too.

I ended up buying a Google fi SIM card. I turned off my phone took out the T-Mobile SIM card and put in the Google fi SIM card.

I'm wondering as well, I don't like having one of the newest premium phone out and the manufacturer gave an update too which other phone carriers are receiving all over the world and it's also out in the US but At&t and Verizon customers get to enjoy but , because I chose to buy the same device from Tmobile I have to be late with updating my $1000 phone which is suppose to be running android 12 right now like the rest of the samsung z fold 3 and z  flip3. Tmobile you guys are messing up big time with your customers.  I'm totally unhappy with you guys.
