I've done it a few times on a couple devices. It's really pretty easy to do. They have a web-based system that works quite well. I think you need to run it in some kind of chrome-based browser like Chrome or Edge.

And if you get stuck, there's lots of good guides out there and I welcome you to ping me on here if you need help. It's not terribly hard.

Once you get it installed, then the game begins. You'll have to give explicit permissions to every app that asks for them. But this is a feature, not a bug.

And if you want things from the play store or things like Android Auto amd maps or whatever, then you have to make some compromises and you may read about that some before you dive in.

Thank you for your response, I'm watching some guides on YouTube and apparently it's not good to use a phone that's been on a Verizon plan so maybe this isn't a great option for me 🤷‍♀️

Hmm, that's interesting. I'm wondering why that would be? If your phone is unlockable at the boot loader level, which is a prerequisite to doing this in the first place, then it wouldn't even look like the same device to the network or to anyone.

I wonder if Verizon pixels are not unlockable. Perhaps that's the problem.

Depends on if phone is carrier locked. Go into verizon store and see if you can unlock bootloader on floor models. Maybe a good test

Ugh, it is locked at the carrier level. Welp 🤬😂 I guess I will look into other options
