I bought my phone through Samsung shop But I didn't get the unlock version I got it for Tmobile as my carrier. I made the payment in full once I received the phone (S24U) so that way Tmobile can unlock it . There's a reason why I did that , but anyways after 2 months I notice the phone wasn't unlocked . Tmobile told me don't worry give it some time it would be unlocked . Everytime I checked it said the phone wasn't registered or something so it couldn't be unlocked. this has been an issue since February fast fwd to labor day September 2nd , I made the switch to Verizon my phone is still "locked" Tmobile says it's a samsung issue , samsung says I have to take it with Tmobile after 3 days calling samsung and tmobile , Tmobile finally unlocks the phone I'm able to use Verizon but no physical sim it had to done with Esim ok no problem everything is working fine . Here comes the 6.1.1 update Tuesday September 10th my phone stops working no calls no txt . I go to Verizon now they couldn't use Esim it had to be a physical sim ok cool no problem but I notice I don't have wifi calling anymore or in samsung messaging I don't have chat features in the settings anymore . I call Verizon they call Samsung, Samsung tells them I'm still locked under Tmobile, Verizon calls Tmobile they say it's not locked which it's not because I wouldn't be able to use Verizon. So I tell Verizon when I put in the Tmobile sim or even an Obama sim chat features and wifi calling returns but when I insert Verizon it disappears. Sorry for this long story post but just want to know if there's anyone else having this problem when switching sim cards and what did you do to fix it

Just my thoughts the port either didn't work or complete or tmobile didn't unlock the phone which the will deny anyway on network settings it should say if it's unlocked

That's what I'm thinking also with the port also because it took me calling them for 3-4 days and having a 3 way call with Samsung to get them to unlock it . Tired of calling with no results . do you know what can I say or look up to check for myself? I don't know what to say anymore to them
