I'm trying to decide between Factory Unlocked vs TM subsidized. In general, does TM allow the BL to be unlocked? I know in the past they allowed my OnePlus 7 to be unlocked.
Lots of responses but I'm not sure if the OP's question has been answered. Will t-mobile allow the bootloader to be unlocked if the device has been paid off in full and subsequently unlocked?

How did you get your phone unlocked that early? When I had my 7T Pro McLaren they were willing to do it once I told them it was for root, but for my 6 Pro they're expecting me to pay the full thing off in accordance with policy. I really don't have $750 to pay my phone off early.It has been answered, in many different ways by different people...
Aslong as Google allows the phone to be unlocked the TMO variant should allow it. And as I stated before, I had my Oneplus 7 Pro unlocked on the 2nd day I had it, WAY before it was even paid off.
Are you even reading the comments?
Some of us have used the chat agents to have them unlock the sim, which yields the ability to unlock bootloader. I was able to do this a few weeks ago. I just said I was offered a job overseas. I said I was keeping my account active but wanted to use the pixel while overseas. They unlocked the sim no question asked. Sometimes it is a matter of finding the willing agent.How did you get your phone unlocked that early?

Did you do it through the TMo app or through T Force on Twitter?Some of us have used the chat agents to have them unlock the sim, which yields the ability to unlock bootloader.

Btw, I am on an EIP.
Best wishes.
I used Facebook Messenger. Took about a hour. The agents, supposedly, work multiple chats simultaneously. I've read both the app and Twitter worked as well.Did you do it through the TMo app or through T Force on Twitter?

For reference, while they are completely separate, and having one doesn't at all mean you can have the other (just like Verizon phones are carrier unlocked from the get-go, but you can very, very rarely achieve bootloader unlock on a Verizon variant), it's been consistently found that those who have the T-Mobile variant of the P6P, once they achieve carrier unlock, they're able to also unlock the bootloader. I haven't kept count but I wouldn't be surprised if there have been at least a dozen folks who have reported this being done successfully in these forums as I've kept up with those threads although they don't pertain to me, and I'm sure some folks do it and just don't post about it here.You're referring to two completely different things that have nothing to do with the other: carrier unlock versus bootloader unlock
