So I traded in a note 20 ultra for an S23 ultra, with a balance of 100 dollars left over to pay. They gave me a 50 dollar credit to my bill and then put the remaining balance as credit for 24 months. I asked whether I could unlock my phone once I pay off the 100 dollars I owe on the phone, as I would be out of the country for a year. I’ve been with T-Mobile for over four years now, and I have 3 other lines with them. I do not intend to switch phone companies but if push comes to shove I may. My problem is that T-Mobile is telling me that my service won’t be available after 3 months out of country due to being labeled as an extreme roamer. My phone will only be able to be used with Wi-Fi essentially being nothing more than a brick. I have elderly people I need to call who are also on my plan. How can I use my phone overseas if T-Mobile cuts my service after three months, or rather refuses to unlock my phone so I can use a SIM card while in another country. I’m not even trying to pull some weird nonsense as I will still be paying for my line, which btw USED TO BE INCLUDED in my plan. I need my lines, but T-Mobile is refusing to budge in any way. They won’t let me use my phone overseas, and they won’t unlock. I may have to switch carriers which I really DONT WANT TO, but T-Mobile isn’t giving me any other choice.
