BlazeAndroid users, are you considering switching your phone to another OS?
ClipperDefianceI’m carrier locked until my phone is paid off, so I can’t do anything until after that. I’m probably going to go with Graphene since I have a Pixel. Admittedly, my reason for switching is less to do with privacy (though I would like to have more than stock offers) and more to do with Google’s upcoming restrictions on installing apps from non-registered developers. If I wanted a corporation telling me what I can do with my phone then I’d just go back to iOS.
Lka1988This isn’t related to carrier locking. If your Pixel is a carriers branded model, there is a high chance the bootloader is permanently locked. Verizon especially.
Hopefully that’s not the case. I’m not on Verizon, but my carrier does use their network. According to my carrier’s support pages they’ll automatically unlock the phone a couple days after it’s paid off, which for me is in a month or two.

Did you buy your phone from that carrier? Because if you did, then it’s a Verizon model.

Again, SIM unlocking (i.e. locked to a carrier) is not related to bootloader unlocking.
Well, that’s unfortunate.
