So I fell for the classic blunder and ended up with a pixel that’s not OEM unlocked despite being advertised as such. After a few hours of searching it looks like the only way I’m getting an OEM unlocked pixel is full price from Google itself. I don’t have $400 for a new phone, I bought the one I have for $150 in 2019.
Are there any cheaper ways to get control of my phone?
The international model is
GVU6C, which I believe is the model that is sold directly by Google, which is always unlockable. There are several of those on Swappa.https://www.phonemore.com/models/google/pixel-7/
