    I really really want to but I can’t for another year because I’m still paying off my pixel. It’s still carrier locked and I can’t unlock it till it’s paid off.

      Yep you can’t flash carrier locked Pixels, I hope you don’t have much longer to wait or that the time will fly fast

        It’s rough…I still have another 13 months I think. But to the article, I don’t have the options in my phone that they’re talking about. Do you? Or has it just not rolled out to me yet?

      I could be wrong, but I have a suspicion that you still won’t be able to once it’s paid off. I’ve run into the issue a few times in the past when buying an “unlocked” Pixel from Amazon that was carrier unlocked, but the bootloader was still not unlockable. A “carrier unlocked” phone allows you to use the phone on any carrier, but doesn’t always guarantee an unlockable bootloader.
