  • New Used Phone

    From jetjock@21:1/5 to All on Sat Dec 2 17:19:04 2023
    I just got a Galaxy S10 that is supposedly unlocked. When I started it
    up it said T-Mobile. Why? Can I just pop the ATT sim out my Galaxy 8
    and put it into the 10? If not, what do I do to get this phone working
    with my old phone number with ATT?

    This should tell you the current "network (un)lock status" of your phone. <https://i.postimg.cc/NMcttY2s/networkunlock01.jpg>

    I dont' know much but I think that's left over from a previous sim. Yes,
    add your sim and I expect it will work, but don't throw away the
    previous phone until you're sure.

    My free Galaxy phone came from T-Mobile who had it network locked for the
    two years it took for the monthly credits to equal the MSRP of the phone.

    It used to boot up to a T-Mobile magenta color every day before it was unlocked, and now that it's network unlocked, it still boots to that.

    Same will be happening with the OP's phone, depending on what he means by "said" because all over it "says" it's T-Mobile except in the network lock.

    How cute!

    You believe your phone was free because there wasn't a line item on the
    first invoice.

    LOL
