Hi,

I recently bought a pixel 7a on ebay, which I have installed GrapheneOS on. Sadly, the device doesn’t detect the sim.

I tried restarting the device, resetting the mobile network settings and reinserting the sim.

Now I read that providers can carrier lock devices, which I didn’t know was a thing. 😅🫠 Since the device was originally part of a contract I’m worried that it is locked.

How can I check for this? All the tutorials I found were for Android and didn’t work on graphene.

Edit: checked in with the provider, they don’t lock phones. What other reasons could there be for the Sim not working?

…turns out contacts on the sim just needed a cleaning

Do you have another sim card that you can test with?

Yes, carriers lock phones all the time. If the device is legal and paid for then calling them to release the imei is your next step.

Did it read the SIM before you installed grapheneOS? I’m wondering if it’s an issue with anything else.
