Question on installing an alternative OS and cell service providers.
I am thinking of trying a new OS on my Pixel 8 pro, and I’m wondering if switching will require me to inform or update my cell service provider, Verizon, in any way to stay connected. When I just moved my SIM card from one device to another, I learned that it activates an anti theft feature after a couple of days of working normally. This was easily fixed with Verizon support, but it was a hassle since I’m still on my parents’ phone plan. Am I likely to have this or a similar issue after installing a new OS, or should my cell service and data continue to work?

Unless something changed, I'm fairly certain you can't unlock the bootloaders of Verizon devices
It is an unlocked phone with a Verizon SIM card if that helps. I’ll update this thread if I try it out and it ends up working.
It'll work, I've been doing it since 2010 on Verizon
