You may say, "David, this seems rather redundant - if it works on all four carriers no matter where you got it, why bother to explain?" If it is not, it will likely not work on Sprint or Verizon (and is probably a global model). Check the model number on the back, if it is either 'G-2PW4100' or 'G-2PW2100' it is unlocked and works on all four major US carriers. I bought my phone from some guy / some other place on the internet. It is unlocked and works on all four major US carriers. Here's the situation broken down for each retailer. There is no version of the Google Pixel officially sold in the United States that is locked to or incompatible with any of the major four carriers. Even the one from Best Buy, where the Best Buy salesperson told you it was a Verizon phone that only works on Verizon. Yes, even the one you bought from Verizon.

The good news is that there actually isn't much to know: every version of the Google Pixel sold in the United States is SIM unlocked and works on every major carrier, including Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile, and AT&T. You may also be wondering what the deal is with the Verizon version of the Google Pixel, versus one you buy from the Google Store, Project Fi, or Best Buy.

This is a fair question, as many smartphones only work on certain carriers here in the US. Hello! If you've arrived at this post, it may be because you're considering buying a Google Pixel and are wondering if it works on your wireless carrier.
