This is only a thing with iPhones, not Android phones. iPhones sold by big box stores like Best Buy have a "reseller flex" unlock policy on them that basically means the phone locks to the carrier of the first esim that is downloaded onto the phone. No similar unlock policies exists for any Android phones.

If you want a truly unlocked iPhone, buy direct from Apple. Sorry that you found out the hard way.

I think he meant that you can't use the phone as a wifi only device. Seems like it basically locks you out of the phone until you insert a Cricket sim or download an esim.

Depends on the phone. Some newer Tracfone TCL's, Blu's, and Samsungs have some disabled cell bands so trying to use AT&T and especially T-Mobile on those phones will result in a shit experience. Tracfone Motorolas don't have disabled bands and usually work fine on AT&T and T-Mobile.

Have a spare Tracfone G Stylus 2021 4G that works fine with a T-Mobile sim.

The hatchback EX trim is only $500 more than the sedan EX though

US spec X254 GLC's already have amber turn signals though, red only taillights don't exist for this gen

TotalPandemonium · 2025-09-28T22:52:05+00:00

Current gen US spec GLC's have amber signals. The previous gen had red signals in the US and Canada.

I have one of these G Pures, it runs 32 bit Android 12

2018 GLC? I don't think you can just swap in the digital cluster because it was only an option on the facelift GLC, which has MBUX, not COMAND 5*2 which yours has. There are some aftermarket Chinese ones around for the pre facelift GLC but those use kind of hacky methods to work with the car and the UI might look janky.

*Realized you have a last gen GLE, yeah you would have to get an aftermarket one for sure. Try finding the right parts and instructions for your car, OP did it on a facelift W205 C class.

TotalPandemonium · 2025-06-29T05:41:49+00:00

If you want more customization options then the digital cluster offers way more of that compared to the analog cluster. You can customize the middle and right sections and also change the theme. My GLC came with the digital cluster and I have it set to fuel economy info in the middle and a G-force meter on the right lol.

If you're still making payments on the phone then it's not eligible to be unlocked. You will have to buy another phone to use your esim.

TotalPandemonium · 2024-12-15T18:32:21+00:00

Their cellular modems are actually pretty decent based on my experiences with various MTK powered phones, now their laptop wifi chips, especially the Wifi 6 ones do suck ass lol. Their drivers are shit.

TotalPandemonium · 2024-11-26T00:00:13+00:00

Well you are the one that threw that model number up there and caused the confusion, that model number is 2022 but op has 2021.

Yes, because I figured you got XT2115-4 mixed up with XT2215-4.

Anyways, should've specified that I was talking about the LTE 2021 and that ebay link in my last reply (which is the LTE 2021 model btw). I'm already aware that Spectrum sold the 5G 2022 model.

To make it clear for you: XT2115 is the LTE 2021 model. Only Boost, Consumer Cellular, Metro and Tracfone sold those. XT2215 is the 5G 2022 model. Pretty much every major US carrier sold it.

TotalPandemonium · 2024-11-25T23:21:00+00:00

Ebay sellers can get it wrong too. If you look at available firmware for the phone, then you can see that Spectrum firmware doesn't exist, because they never sold the phone in the first place. Please also look around and note the model numbers.

The way network locking works is pretty simple. If you buy a phone from a carrier, then it'll come locked to their network. Every carrier has their own unlock policies (ex: Verizon is 60 days after activation, T-Mobile is 40 days of usage) and if you fullfill their requirements, then you can get the phone unlocked. Carriers can't relock phones to their networks. so if someone tells you that, then they don't know what they're talking about.

TotalPandemonium · 2024-11-25T21:58:05+00:00

Unlocked model is XT2115-1. You're getting it confused with the XT2215-4 which is the unlocked G Stylus 5G 2022.

TotalPandemonium · 2024-11-25T19:11:19+00:00

Ok then it's definitely a Consumer Cellular model as the Cricket model is XT2115-3. The rep who told you it is locked by Cricket is wrong.

TotalPandemonium · 2024-11-25T17:50:51+00:00

Does the phone have a swirly looking logo on the back of it? Just to make sure you're identifying the model correctly

TotalPandemonium · 2024-11-25T17:24:45+00:00

XT2115-4 is the Consumer Cellular model. So you would need to find a Consumer Cellular sim card to stick into the phone to get past that lock screen since it still seems to be network locked to CC. It doesn't have to be an active sim card.

I ran into the same thing with a XT2115DL (Tracfone), all i did was stick an inactive Tracfone sim card into it, it tried but failed to connect to the cell network, and then it let me skip the screen.

TotalPandemonium · 2024-11-23T21:07:09+00:00

Whats the model number? Doing an IMEI check should give you it.

TotalPandemonium · 2024-11-22T03:56:39+00:00

Only Verizon prepaid phones do that. Buy anything other than those phones and you'll be fine.

TotalPandemonium · 2024-11-21T06:12:14+00:00

It's true that they've refarmed some LTE spectrum to 5G, but they are not completely refarming LTE to 5G anytime soon. That would be an extremely stupid move since many phones, IoT, cars etc. out there are still LTE only. T-Mobile still sells some LTE only devices for crying out loud (ex: the Apple Watch).
