Hey guys, the only Pixel phones currently sim unlocked are the UK EE models, has anyone figured a way out to unlock these yet without waiting until contract expires or paying EE

There has been a solution, same as for Verizon bootloader's I believe. Have a look in skipsofts tool thread, you will find the link there ?

Not talking about bootloader unlock mate, I'm talking about sim unlock, currently this phone will only accept EE/BT SIM cards.There has been a solution, same as for Verizon bootloader's I believe. Have a look in skipsofts tool thread, you will find the link there ��

That's really odd, I got mine on EE and it takes my three sim no problem.
Just tried mine with an O2 sim and its says that its locked and I need to contact EE, also Google Pixel Sim Lock thats states they are the only network locking the phone right now.
Not sure why that is or why it works I haven't tried any other sims other then three. U should be able to unlock the same way you do there mobile hotspots using the imei number and a code.
That would be all well and good but this phone was bought on eBay and the seller won't respond to messages regarding sim unlocking :/
Did your three SIM work before you unlocked. What's weird is it doesn't even ask for an unlock code, just to contact EE
normally to get the unlock code you have to request on the back of your contract, likely if you bought the phone second hand the seller didn't unlock it because EE makes you wait 6 months and has a £9 fee while still in contract.
so chances are there is no easy way to unlock the device (unlocking bootloader and rooting doesn't remove the sim lock they are both very different things) without paying EE or another firm who claim to be able to get the unlock codes but as far as that goes it's how much you are willing to trust such firms.
so in short if it is your phone and you are with EE, you need to have been a customer with EE 6 months (not sure if you can short cut this by getting it as an upgrade) have your bill in good standing and pay a £9 fee, then they will give you the unlock code. if you got the phone second hand I would imagine you're pretty stuck.

Hi .I got the same problem .got phone from ee and only ee sim working .all other sim cards its just says no sim card inside and after a while its says sim not supported or simthings ..n also not asking for any unlock code aswell .
I know, but mine is locked, sim locked bought from eBay so can go the EE route.
You can also use a Virgin sim card in the EE ones, I've just tried, and will use it temporarily until we have a Sim unlock.

I tried the online unlocking form by EE, doubt it will work.
Have to wait up to 10 days.
