Hi everyone. I recently purchased a Samsung s25 ultra. It is a T-Mobile phone. I have us cellular right now. The phone was network unlocked so I could use my Sim from us cellular. When my phone updated to android 16 with my Sim card inside, it changed my network lock to us cellular. If you check the imei, it says it is unlocked to t-mobile. If i put in another carrier Sim card it will not make calls. Only us cellular works now. How can I fix. Please help. Thanks

I had T-Mobile for years and had no problems. The only reason I changed in the last year was I was paying $45 a month that was the minimum I could get away with. I have spectrum internet and they started doing mobile phones, so now I have spectrum mobile phone for $30 a month so that's why I quit.

The nice thing about T-Mobile was they did have Paramount as a discount anyway

Once a phone is assigned to a carrier, Samsung can't unlock the phone. The carrier in your case AT&T has to unlock it for you. In your question, you both say that you are yet to pay up the phone and also that you already paid it. Whichever it is, you have to get AT&T to unlock your phone.
