Can't escape LG V20 ATT setup/transfer

[deathbytalkshow]

My friend said I could buy the ATT unlocked V20 so I can use it on Cricket which they've the same network. After setting up my Google account I come to this screen and it's trying to force me to sign in but I don't have an account with ATT. Does this mean it's not unlocked?

I assume that 3rd screen is what shows up when you hit skip?

Also, were you planning on rooting your phone? If so, you don't need to set it up, you can just root it and then you won't have any issues with their setup screen.

I figured it out. I removed the SIM card and turned off WiFi which the app requires to continue. Then it finally gave me the option to exit to the home screen. After that i was able to insert the SIM card again with no problem.

I'll see about rooting. I play Ingress and PoGo and its a hassle to trick SafetyNet. I think Android Pay didn't work the last time I tried Magisk. And ROMs screw up my GPS all the time.
