Is my Pixel 2 carrier unlocked?

✅ If you bought your Pixel 2 directly from Google, it's already unlocked and ready to use with any eSIM.

If you got your Pixel 2 from a mobile carrier as part of a contract or payment plan, it might be carrier-locked. Don't worry - this is less common nowadays! But please check with your carrier if your device can connect with other networks.
A carrier-unlocked phone simply means you can:

• Use eSIMs from any network provider
• Switch carriers whenever you want
• Use local eSIMs when traveling abroad

Not sure about your phone? Just contact your network provider to check - they can unlock it for you if needed.
