MODERATORS
In my case, AT&T sent me a Galaxy Note 9 to replace my Google Pixel XL, which I ended up never using and just used as trade-in value to get a Pixel 5a.
Thats better, it must have been some sort of equivalent exchange deal. Was it vendor locked?
It was indeed carrier locked, which was why I used it as trade-in value for a phone rather just selling it and later buying a newer phone.
