My new Pixel 9 is now carrier unlocked and OEM/bootloader unlocked.

The discussion with Mint customer service rep yesterday resulted in a trouble ticket being assigned to the "backend office". I was told I'd "receive an e-mail within 24-48 hours".

Late this morning (less than 24 hours after the ticket was issued) the new phone had a notification that the phone was carrier unlocked.

Under Developer Options the OEM unlocking was immediately selectable--I need this for installing the after-market ROM, but this bootloader unlocking is tied to the carrier unlocking.

Soon thereafter I received another notification: "No service" and "Selected network (Mint) unavailable". That may be due to the fact that I had previously deselected "Automatically select network" in settings. So I selected the "Choose network" option and then selected "Mint" (the only option since I hadn't changed Sims) and a few seconds later I was back in business.

I never received the e-mail from the backend office, but everything seems to be working.

To answer a couple other questions folks have asked: My understanding is that this is a permanent carrier unlocking. I believe I'd told the Mint customer service rep (Kylah) that I was going to be going on international travel (as the excuse for needing it carrier unlocked right away). I had paid for a year of service along with the phone. The fact that the service is already fully paid-for is one of the requirements you need to meet for them to unlock your phone right away. I ordered Tuesday of last week and received it via FedEx on Friday. I had used an eSim for the Mint service on this phone. I'm a brand new customer of Mint, but I don't think that should matter.

If I receive an e-mail from the backend office and it contributes any additional information I'll post a follow-up message.

I'd actually ported-in a burner phone number to this service. So after I load GrapheneOS, I'm going to switch numbers (port-in) so my new phone has my main phone number. Hopefully that will take less time and I'll get less of a run-around doing that.

Good luck!

That's amazing ! I just logged into my account and went to new phones and it showed it for $299!

Below is my order breakdown:

Nice!

Wasn't expecting to upgrade my phone but at this price its a no brainer for a better finger print sensor!

Online chat. I asked how they could do it without imei, jusy using order#. He mentioned that the backend team would have it. Again, I'm still not 100% confident with what he said. Can confirm in two days when I have the phone.
Please keep us updated. Thank you!

Is the web accurate? Mine shows unlock on the google site, but when I tried to use a T-mobile SIM card, it's still not working.
I am not planning to open this as I bought this for a gift. However I checked the IMEI in the T-mobile for instance using their BYOD checker and it says not network locked and eligible ("This device is not blocked from use on our network.")

Are you saying that the phone got unlocked immediately after purchase? You didn't have to wait the "mandatory" 60 days?

I bought a pixel from Spectrum. It was locked but that google repair page showed it was unlocked, which wasn't true. OEM unlocking was disabled

TBH I did not try convincing. It could be just a sensible rep I incidentally got in touch. I contacted via online chat to see if the device can be kept sealed in the box and unlocked after 60 days, while keeping the number activated through Mint on my S24 FE. The rep said "yes" and he himself told that I can be unlocked right away and created a ticket for it. It was on Thu when I contacted them, and today got an update that it was unlocked.

Did you contact Mint and ask them to open a ticket to unlock it?
