(NEW) Google Pixel 6 (Open Box)

This has a big chance of not being compatible with cricket wireless. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't and it all depends (from what I can tell from my research) on the IEMI number that comes on the device. Here's what I understand after trying to get this to work with my cricket wireless plan. This is supposed to be compatible with cricket wireless. In fact, cricket wireless says that google pixel six IS compatible. But for whatever reason, if you happen to get the wrong IEMI number (from what I understand cricket or Google has not entered these particular numbers into their system.) it recognizes the device as incompatible. AND IT WILL SUSPEND YOUR NUMBER IF YOU ATTEMPT TO PUT YOUR SIM CARD INTO THE PHONE. Meaning you will have to go to a cricket location to get an associate to unsuspend your phone number. That's right, if you put your cricket sim card in this phone (and other Google pixel phones for that matter. From Google pixel 4a and up) your phone number will not work if you put the sim card back in your old phone. When you try to make a call, cricket will tell you you need to pay your phone bill even though it's already paid. Very frustrating. Cricket can't make the phone compatible. They'll tell you to contact Google. When I contacted Google they tried to tell me that the particular device that I ordered from Amazon was actually used or refurbished. And that the previous owner had suspended the device. Which is not actually possible because I received the brand new device, sealed. But they tried to put the blame on Amazon. Other people who have had this same issue after ordering directly from Google said that google told them to keep returning the product until they found the device with a IEMI number that worked. One person had to return their new device FOUR TIMES before they finally received a device that was compatible. Google says they cannot control what IEMI number you get when you order one of their phones. I was able to return my phone for a refund from Amazon, and I am planning to order directly from Google in the future until I get a working device, because I really want the phone. However this return process is taking a lot longer than usual and I think it's because of the higher price range. I returned the phone over a week ago. And my shipping information says it arrived a week ago and still no refund. It doesn't even say on Amazon that it's arrived. I'm supposed to wait at least 30 days for this process. So it's going to be a while before I can even try again for a phone that works. The thing that really sucks is that this is an issue with with all the Google pixel phones since pixel 4a was released. So any google pixel made after 4a is going to have the same bad IEMI numbers. If you have cricket wireless just be prepared for this roller coaster ride. Unless of course you're lucky and it just happens to work. If you want to learn more about this issue with cricket you can google "unlocked Google pixel not working with cricket wireless" and if you do order one I recommend ordering directly from Google to avoid the headache of adding another business to the mix... for the other companies to say "it's their fault, not ours" because they will try to do that just to not deal with the issue. Even though this is a known issue. It's a confusing process that nobody wants to deal with. Also I did find a site that claims to be cricket wireless that carries the Google pixels and is selling it. However I was unable to confirm or deny whether this site is actually legit. I plan to ask cricket directly next time I'm in the area... but even if they do confirm there is still no guarantee the devices are optimal for cricket and they may just be selling the regular unlocked devices. So please don't order there unless you're 100% sure it's legit and the device will work. I think it's really better to just be safe and order directly from Google! Sorry for the bad news cricket users.
