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?

    lineageos is a good alternative. but if it’s not oem unlockable, you are out of luck with roms.

      I’m already returning this one, l was just hoping to find something I could set up that wouldn’t cost most of a check to get my hands on
