For example it could be some jobber that bought returns, etc. But depending on who the ebay seller is, they may not have even known what they were doing. It would certainly be unethical for a seller to do that, to not disclose it. But they then become locked to the carrier you activate them on. We're these new or used? Where did the seller get them? If they are flex-lock which are sold by Bestbuy and maybe others, what the seller is telling you could be technically right, that they are unlocked when sold. My family and I are in a foreign country unable to use maps, Uber, or translate with a local sim, because MINT Mobile refuses to unlock a phone of a long time customer who was happy and paid up through til October. I will NEVER renew with them, they have lost 3 accounts with my family and I’ve told 2 others that were going to sign up to not bother, that MintMobile locks your phone and they won’t unlock it. I was planning to stay with them and keep my number for the phone, and swap SIMS. I was such a big fan and recommending them in a FaceBook group and to my friends also. They’ve cost me quite a lot of time in calling and writing this post. MintMobile has caused me to lose money on the SIM cards that I purchased for these iPhones. I don’t know why Mint mobile is doing this, but it is wrong.

I am paid in full til October and have been a customer for over a year.Ĥth Bullet point: Customers must currently own a Mint Mobile locked handset launched on Mint Mobile’s service after Septemor activated with Mint Mobile’s service after September 01, 2018.Ĭustomers who would like to check if they are eligible for or can submit a request to unlock their phone(s) can do so by calling customer care at 21. In fact I qualify for all the requirements for each phone. I mentioned to the tech support agent that the MintMobile Unlock policy stated on the website does not mention that I have to purchase the iPhone through them. Who told me I had to purchase the phone through MintMobile. So I contacted MintMobile yet again, and I got the rudest guy. Each participating provider has posted its unlocking policy on its company website and will respond to unlock requests. Participants include all nationwide service providers, as well as a number of regional providers.

I explained my situation and the man said unless we purchased our phone through MintMobile we would have to contact Apple to have our phones unlocked.Īpple does not unlock phones, the carrier does.Īll service providers who signed onto the CTIA Consumer Code for Wireless Service have fully implemented the standards on unlocking. We have moved out of the country and would like to replace the SIM card and we were told that Mint Mobile Locked the phones and would have to contact the carrier/Mint Mobile. I signed up for Mint mobile in December 2019 and have prepaid ever since and all the way through to October of this year. I bought my wife and daughter an unlocked iPhone 8 each.
