Keeping track of companies that "care about your data 🥺"
AT&T/Cricket#
- Verdict: ⛔ Avoid!
AT&T does not allow you to unlock your bootloader until your phone is network unlocked, and AT&T has a history of refusing to network unlock phones for zero reason. However, some recent posts on XDA have claimed the AT&T Pixel 9's bootloader can be unlocked if you set up the phone without an AT&T SIM inserted. AT&T also has an artifical blacklist, meaning you are limited only to the devices they officially support. You're best off avoiding AT&T.
Additionally, AT&T subsidiary Cricket has recently begun blocking developer options on certain Motorola devices. This makes you unable to use ADB or Shizuku.
