    Planning to get a new Google Pixel 9.

    Three seems to give a good price on their PAYG phones.

    Anyone know if these PAYG phones from Three locked to only Three network?

    Pixel phones have never been network locked to any Ireland network as far as I remember.

    I got a Pixel 7a last year from Three and it wasn't network locked. I've also had Samsung phones from them too and they were not locked either.

    I think the only phones locked by Three are iPhones now but I could be wrong

    it usually depends on the phone, ive bought few phone in the past and found the higher the value of the phone the less likely it is for it to be locked down, android phones usually, Iphones im not sure as i usually buy them sim free for the resale factor

    cant see Google letting them sim lock their phones tho
