The T-Mobile unlock lie
Here is my story as of 8/15/23: I’m a T-Mobile prepaid customer for several years and was happy with the company so far. I lost my phone on 7/15/23 (ouch) and bought a new Motorola razr+ from T-...
As mentioned in my post, the requirements stated are not the ones implemented in the (unlocking) system:
- If the device was activated less than 365 days ago, then the Prepaid account associated with the device must have had more than $100 in refills during that period for each line active on the account. In addition, more than 14 days must have passed since the device was purchased.
The bold part is wrong. According to customer support, the system requires the device to be active for more than 14 days. Hence they should either fix their system (take into account the purchase date instead of number of days active) or change their web page (probably easier for them to do). The requirements as stated on the web page are simply not true.
BTW, temporary unlock works from abroad. It’s really an issue with their system counting the wrong days.
