11 TopicsSim locked but t mobile says fully unlocked
I bought Iphone 14 pro in September and I moved to Indonesia. So I fully paid for my phone before I came here and when I was paying for the device, t mobile expert said that it has been fully unlocked. On my setting, it still says SIM Locked and it is not working here. I called T mobile more than 10 times, they say that it's been fully unlocked but my phone says it is still locked! I even tried to scan a new esim on the phone it says I need to contact the original carrier to unlock the phone. Every time I called all they say is the device is fully unlocked. I was even connected to Apple experts but they could not help me with anything. Apple suggested me to reset the phone, which I have tried. Now I don't know what to do. It's been more than two weeks and I'm not able to use this phone that I've paid $1000 for.

I bought 2 new iPhone SE (2nd gen) from Apple when the product was released. Then, I brough themto my T-mobile lines. Now, I am about to sell them so that I can start using new devices. In one of the phones, the Carrier Lock field is "SIM Locked", which makes me very angry, because I never owed anything to T-mobile on these devices. I talked to 3 technicians on T-mobile side, and 1 from Apple Care. The Apple technician said they don't set Carrier Lock and they can't clear it. The T-mobile technicians told me that they have cleared this phone in their system so that I should just live with the "SIM Locked" on my phone, because they don't have a mechanism to clear it. This is unfair to me in 2 ways: (1) potential buyers mayshy away frommy phone because it says that the phone is locked to a carrier; (2) T-mobile should have never put a lock on my phone in the first place, resulting in my tedious phone call with multiple technicians tono vail. I wonder if someone has a clever way to clear it?Solved1.4KViews0likes20ComentariosT-mobile struggling to unclock apple swapped iphone
I have iPhone 12 pro max that I got from T-Mobile on EIP. It was paid off.Recently, I accidentally damaged my iPhone 12 pro max and took it to Apple Store to fix it. Apparently, Apple doesn't fix iPhonesand just swaps them for new ones which I was totally ok with. I got a brand new iPhone locked with T-Mobile.Now I'm looking to do some travel and want my iPhone to be unlocked so I can use a local sim. For some reason, T-Mobile support doesn'twant or cannot (Idon't know) unlock this iPhone that I got from Apple, stating that it is not bought from T-Mobile (even though it's a T-Mobile locked device) and it has to be unlocked by Apple. Hard reset of the phone doesn't help.I contacted T-Mobile support like 5 times and each time the response was the same or they tell you that 48 hours required to resolve this issue and never follow up. I contacted Apple support and they escalated this case to their Engineering department. The response from Apple engineering department was that "phone can be unlocked, but only carrier (T-Mobile)can unlock the phone and Apple doesn'thave the physical ability to do that". Basically, T-Mobile and Apple keep pointing fingers at each other with no result. I don't understand why T-Mobile cannot unlock iPhone that was provided by Apple? I didn'tbuy it somewhere on the street, I paid $500 to get that phone swapped and now I cannot utilize it as I want. Looking forward to getting some advice on how to work out this issue?927Visto0likes4Comentariosdesbloqueo de sim
Please read customer! I will start from the beginning! I bought a iPhone 12 from T-Mobile did an installments plan.. 2 months into owning the phone the there was networking issues. So I went to apple and they replaced the whole phone…. So I paid off the phone… I went to try to sell the phone the buyer realized there was a sim lock… so I called T-Mobile in front of him. T-Mobile basically told me that since I bought the phone through someone else they couldn't unlock it.. that's when my problem started.. i never step foot in anyones else careers store.. basically due to me replacing the phone through apple because T-Mobile was gonna charge me for a faulty phone that I got 2 months ago.. that's crazy right? Yeah… so when I replaced the phone through apple I still had T-Mobile. What ended up happening that apple locked the sim to T-Mobile due to it still being locked throug T-Mobile because I didn't pay off the phone which is understandable.. back to me paying off the phone and selling it.. apple won't remove the sim lock nor will T-Mobile… T-Mobile lied to me told me that I purchased the phone through someone else so they couldn't unlock the iphone 3 days later fighting to get my phone unlocked they find out the since itsa replacement phone through apple that's why they couldn't unlock the phone or saying it was purchased someone where.. due to that I still have a sim locked phone. They aren't willing to give me compensation for the 4 days I fought to get my phone unlocked.. they still can't take the sim locked phone off. I have a fully paid off phone that I paid for with my hard earned money that I didn't have in the beginning to pay off left me with the phone told me there's just nothing they can do to unlock the phone… I have a daughter I was going to use the money to buy her gifts….. all I canaffordis a 67$ tablet for her…. This hurts me so much because as a customer they lied to me and left me with a sim locked phone that I just can't sell… all because I went to apple to replace a phone… you know T-Mobile I looked forward to selling the phone… to give my daughter a Christmas.. I just want to say thank you for ruining my 2 year old daughter Christmas. Yes I'm out of work that's why I was looking forward to selling the phone… this just hurts so much…because I replaced the phone through Apple neither one of you can unlock sim on the phone..706Visto0likes2Comentariossim lock
