You wouldn't have to ask Verizon to do anything - you could literally just pop in a T-Mobile SIM card and be on your way. You can go buy a Pixel from Verizon today, cancel your Verizon service tomorrow, and take that Pixel to T-Mobile. A locked bootloader does not in any way affect what carrier you can use the phone on. That's it (the version sold by Best Buy is the Verizon version, by the way, and thus has a locked bootloader). The single, solitary difference between the 'Verizon' Pixel and the 'Google Store / Project Fi' Pixel is that the Verizon Pixel has a locked bootloader. These ads, however, are not indicating any sort of network limitations or SIM lock policy. Well, that's because Verizon has gone out of its way to make it seem like there might be some kind of reason you need to use your Pixel on Verizon with its "only on Verizon" ads that are all plastered all over America at the moment. 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. I bought my phone from the Google Store.
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.
