I have an "older" (not really that old, an S10 5G) phone that I keep as a backup. It didn't need anything to start being usable after a full reset, not even a sim card; you just had to skip all the login prompts.
- izacus 5y agoYes, "common on carrier devices" doesn't mean "every device has it". It's more common on some carriers - e.g. I had a lot of fun times getting Verizon test devices to work in Europe because they wanted to activate on CDMA network (non-existent on the continent) as part of their setup process. These locks have started to become less and less common these days though.
- sundvor 5y agoAh, that's interesting - and that would have to be a very strong "good luck with that" case. My S105G is a carrier device (Telstra), but as you say they're moving to not lock them down anymore which is a lot nicer experience.
