Has anyone been able to confirm these work with TMO and TMO mvnos out of the box?
Got my S24 FE today. Can confirm my Mint Mobile SIM does NOT work with the phone (says message about SIM lock). So looks like it's Metro locked and any T-Mobile MVNO's will not work with it. No telling with T-Mobile SIMs

Looks like I'm locked in for the year lol
That phone uses a Samsung modem. How does the signal strength, calls, and data compare to other phone

It should work with Tmobile. As far as I know, Metro Samsung phone only works with Tmobile, not with Tmob mvnos like mint and boost

Compared to my S24 Ultra (Snapdragon) on Mint, signal strength is about the same, but download speeds are about half of the S24 FE on Metro. Not sure if that's due to the modem or just due to prioritizing Metro vs Mint.

Sorry to hear that. Well, T Mobile Connect is still an option. It's technically a QCI 6 T Mobile service that is indistinguishable from post-paid from my research.
Also the specs on this phone are insane. In 1 year it will still be worth the purchase price.
Does anyone have experience with metrobytmobile unlocking w/o opening the box? I know it will take an year and they automatically activate after 3 weeks from the purchase date but is it possible to unlock?

I know there will always be a booster trade in value during Thanksgiving time

Thank you to everyone that reported that Samsung and Motorola phones do work on T-Mobile.

They're usually only interested in stealing "flagship" customers, so offer better values on flagship phones.
