Verizon will allow all of its Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL phones to immediately be used on different carriers. Previously, buyers noticed that the Pixel 3 was locked to Verizon’s network until it was activated. Once activated with a Verizon SIM, the device would be unlocked overnight for use with other carriers. But now Verizon is lifting the lock fully and immediately — but maybe only temporarily. “At launch, there was an update related to an automatic overnight unlock on Pixel 3s, which also showed up on phones sold in Best Buy stores,” a spokesperson said. “We have temporarily removed it from Pixel 3 and are assessing where it will be implemented in the future.”
