Is my Google Pixel 8 carrier unlocked?

✅ If you bought your Pixel 8 directly from Google, it's already unlocked and ready to use with any eSIM.

If you got your Pixel 8 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! However, please check with your carrier to confirm your device can connect with other networks.


A carrier-unlocked device 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 device? Simply contact your network provider to check - they can unlock it for you if needed.

🏢 Using a work phone? Your company may disable the eSIM feature, even if the device is technically compatible. If you’re not sure, ask your employer whether eSIM is allowed on your device.
