Last year I unlocked my Pixel 10 Pro XL permanently in 2 days after activation by calling customer service and asked for emergency unlock for traveling overseas.

How long after they received your trade in, did they reach out to you?

Dont give away ur Google Voice number. U can no longer get a new GV nmbers anymore. Google went full 1984 mode to get a new one now. So, ur current GV is more valuable than a carrier phone number
They are trying to crack down on all the scammers using them for robocalls and stuff.

Trade-in was smooth but lacked of communication. They sent you a physical check for the trade.

For anyone wondering if the phone is unlocked, It 100% is, I purchased the sky blue 256gb s26 and just got it today, it was bubble wrapped in the retail packaging and It is the Factory Unlocked U1 model with the XAA csc.
Yes, it is U1 model with XXA software version. But it is still locked. My Verizon sim worked when it first boot up. After reboot, it stop working and prompt me unauthorized SIM installed. Mint eSIM worked fine though.

Yeah same happened to me I was able to use other carrier sim for like 10 minutes then it locked out saying must insert a mint sim. The earlier posts saying it's fully unlocked are BS, it's definitely carrier locked to mint but yes the phone itself is the unlocked model. Any way will need to wait the 60 days till fully unlocked.
