is there a way to unlock a google picel phone while traveling for a 2nd sim (keeping tmbile active on the esim) . my device is not yet paid off ?

Not sure what model of Pixel you have @Sridev but Google Pixel devices have a specific unlock app that you can download to process the unlock. No need to contact customer support.

You will need to use temporary unlocks until the device is fully paid off, but you will still get the service you need while abroad. 😎

One call to a tmobile rep says that they placed a request with a manager to unlock and I should hear back in a week. 2 weeks later, with no response, I call in again and this time I'm told I'm not eligible for unlock and the manager request is bogus ("sorry for the wrong information on the previous call"). Latest informaiton is I now need to initiate this from the phone from an "unlock" feature which I cant find yet. Im requesting to unlock pSIM.
The last 2 Pixels I bought for myself were from Google but I bought my wife a 7 through Tmobile and it was unlocked after 40 days.
