Samsung Galaxy S9+ unlocked won't connect?

Which is why I was asking if setting it back to a sprint phone and redoing this with the sim card would remove the t-mobile crap.
Put a sprint sim and it will load up sprint stuff ,same as Att sim , or Verizon sim , its sim unlocked otherwise the tmobile stuff wouldn't load on a sprint phone

It has a verizon sim inside currently, still boots up and uses t-mobile apps. Apparently it works now but still shows up t-mobile and has those apps on it. I need that fixed. Which, when going into that device unlock, still says it's locked. Whether it's saying that cuz of the sim or it's actually still locked, I don't know.
 
Says server not responding, would taking the sim card out allow me to work with it then? I want to unlock it so it's not on T-mobile so I can use it on Verizon.

Ok listen carefully , your device is not TMobile
That app only works with device that's directly from TMobile.

You still have TMobile sim ?
 
No, I got this phone refurbished and it came with just the phone and cable. It was supposed to be unlocked and is not.
See this what I circled in your screen shot

TMB/XAA/SPRT

LAST ONE IS THE ORGINAL PHONE WHICH IS SPRINT. TMB/XAA MUST BE STRAIGHT TALK WITH TMB IF IT WAS TMB IT WOULD BE LIKE THIS TMB/TMB/SPRT OR VERIZON WOULD BE VZW/VZW/SPRT SO YOU HAVE STRAIGHT TALK SHOULD BE VZW/XAA/SPRT OTHERWISE A SIM FROM VERIZON BE VZW/VZW/SPRT

YOU HAVE NO APN ON THE PHONE
EITHER TRY ONE FROM VERIZON OR CHOOSE RESET APN , OTHERWISE RETURN THE PHONE BACK

Either stop yelling or move on. I appreciate the help but do not need to treat me like crap in the process. It showed up as a TMOBILE PHONE, which is where it is currently stuck on. Boot screen, apps and all. All says tmobile everytime I boot it and every time I check my apps to see them. It will NOT switch from Tmobile to Verizon which I have said before. I have tried the APN thing, apparently it is connecting, still boots as a Tmobile phone and still has all the apps. NOTHING IS VERIZON besides sim card and somehow the connection. I don't trust it will keep working at this rate.
 
Lol..Im not yelling or treating you like crap! You think because I put in caps thats yelling lol I didn't want keep reverting back from caps and small case and just continue in all upper case .
I'm sitting here walking you one by one through the steps until you understand . Im here trying make you understand this the easiest possible way with screen shots , words etc.

Now , is it getting a connection or did it populate a APN ?
 
You just have to listen to somebody that understand this , no Samsung, Verizon, tmobile chat is going help you like im doing right now.

Got a connection, had to force a APN to work. Still reads all tmobile, the app itself still says it's locked and has tmobile apps. I have no idea how this is even working at all.

Ok , now reboot the phone see if it changes from tmobile and test out calls and texts , surf web on mobile data see how it is

Boots as T-mobile, says Verizon in the corner, have tested out calls, text and surfing the web is a bit hard where I get my signal from. It works apparently, just wont switch over and it's locked. I can't get the app to let me attempt to unlock it either. That's where I'm stuck at now from having it fixed.

Thats the problem , until you get a prepaid Verizon sim it won't delete those tmobile start up splash screen , like I mentioned that tmobile unlocked app doesn't mean anything because it orginally wasn't the phone , you can delete most of those tmobile apps, and should be able to delete the unlocked app from tmobile or once you put a verizon sim it will automatically reboot the device to configure.
 
Or if you have a relative, friend with Verizon sim , just install it and let it reconfigure
