T-Mobile customers bypass carrier lock on Samsung devices
Network operators in the US offer the best purchase offers, even giving a new device at no cost in favor of adding a new line or sticking with the carrier. Recently, some T-Mobile customers found a way to unlock their Samsung Galaxy devices without paying them off.
Phone makers sell both carrier-locked and unlocked variants from their sites. If you buy a device from the carrier’s website/platform, you will have to stick with the carrier with the carrier until you pay off the device.

Several Reddit users have found a software glitch, which has been further verified by The Mobile Report on their unit. The hack is simple as you first have to request for Temporary Unlock and then request for Permanent Unlock from your T-Mobile/Samsung phone’s Settings.
While the glitch allows you to bypass the requirement of paying off before unlocking, it is a violation of your agreement with T-Mobile if you proceed. Certainly, Samsung and/or T-Mobile will soon come up with their stand on the glitch.
This hack is a kind of illegal attempt to ditch the contract with the carrier, the software glitch is allowing consumers to unlock their devices early. Whether this glitch is emanated from the manufacturer or network provider, it will be addressed.
