Google pixel 6 OEM unlock request

Dear Verizon Customer Service,

I hope you're well. I've completed all payments for my Google Pixel 6 with Verizon. Could you please assist me in unlocking the device's bootloader? This would enable greater customization options. I appreciate your prompt help in this matter.

Thank you

I already complained to the better business bureau about this issue, Verizon doesn't care and will not assist. Verizon goes out of their way to keep you from unlocking the bootloader, this is a change to the stock firmware from Google. They knowingly created this problem.

If you're lucky they might refer you to google support but google doesn't lock their bootloaders and permanently disable "OEM unlocking".

Hello, tornike. We can always assist in unlocking the phone meaning if you want to unlock it to use with a different network upon satisfying the requirements- please see Device Unlocking Policy below. The bootloader is a vendor-proprietary image responsible for bringing up the kernel on a device. The bootloader guards the device state and is responsible for initializing the Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) and binding its root of trust. If this is what you are requesting, we do not assist with this.

Verizon is the only company that makes it difficult to do what we want on our devices, my device is from Verizon, and I no longer use Verizon, I would like to unlock OEM Bootloader, and you don't want to help me do it, it is the total responsibility of customers who leave your daily use, because they don't make you want to stay on verizon! I hope that if you want to help many like me who want to unlock the bootloader, you will make it public. Greetings
