An FCC inquiry into T-Mobile has uncovered that the carrier sold thousands of REVVL 7 Pro 5G smartphones before they received proper authorization. The devices were sold before obtaining FCC equipment authorization, which is required for devices emitting radio frequency radiation. T-Mobile obtained the authorization only after selling the units, leading to an inquiry by the FCC.
Despite T-Mobile's claim that they relied on manufacturers to comply with authorization procedures, the FCC found that the company did not meet the required standards. T-Mobile has accepted responsibility for the oversight and is taking steps to rectify the situation, including implementing a compliance program and making a contribution to the US Treasury.
