It’s just been reported on the Metro sub and the SD site that various Samsung devices bought from Metro (originally subject to the 180/365 policies) can be permanently unlocked as of today! Not sure if it works on Samsung devices sold by T-Mobile. But if you have one, please give it a try.

Working on pixels too. Install pixel unlock app from play store. May take a few tries for it to go through.

Apparently, many of these are Metro devices, but people were also able to unlock devices they purchased from T-Mobile.

The unlocking process is reportedly even working on devices on Equipment Installment Plans (EIP). Keep in mind that T-Mobile hasn’t officially said anything about a new unlocking policy, so proceed at your own risk. The carrier recently announced that bill credits would stop if devices financed through an Equipment Installment Plan (EIP) were paid off early, so it’s possible that it no longer cares if devices are unlocked ahead of time.
What’s more probable though is that this is a glitch, like the one we saw earlier this year, and once it’s fixed, you won’t be able to unlock devices at your will.
If you do manage to unlock your device before T-Mobile catches wind of the loophole, the carrier supposedly won’t be able to relock it, meaning this is a great opportunity to permanently unlock your device.
