Hi There!

I noticed Bestbuy is selling the "Pixel 2 XL (Verizon)". Will this phone work on ATT if I put in an ATT sim card? Thanks so much!

Better off buying directly from Google.

Google is selling unlocked and Verizon versions. You would then have to go to ATT and get a sim or see if you can use your exisiting one.

Hey ChristianJaqekle,

If you get a Pixel 2 XL from us that is locked to Verizon it will not work on AT&T service.

Thanks,

On your website the Google Pixel 2 is labeled as a Verizon phone. If I buy it will it be factory unlocked? For example, If I buy it and just put my T-Mobile Sim Card in it will the phone work or do I have to unlock it from Verizon first?

Allan-BBY,

Are the Pixel 2 phones on Bestbuy SIM locked to Verizon unlike the older gen Verizon Pixel phones which would work on any carrier operating on the supported frequencies?

Hey phofea,

The Google Pixel 2 phones that are listed as Verizon phones on BestBuy.com are locked to Verizon, and will only work on the Verizon network.

Thanks,

Yes it will asi have a pixel 1 from verizon that i have used all across the world withou getting unlocked. Verizon phones come GSM Unlocked so if they have they right bands they will work without any issues.

If the LTE bands are in the hone for ATT and T-Mobile you just pop your sime card in. i know all verizon phones are GSM unlocked you just need to verify the proper bands are there.
