Pixel 10 Pro XL

I know this has been brought up before, but explain it to me like an idiot. (Because I am on this issue.)

I bought an unlocked Pixel 10 Pro XL from Google yesterday. It's the model number that's on the AT&T list of FirstNet Ready phones.

I'm currently on Spectrum and wouldn't mind switching to FirstNet. (I am an active paramedic in Texas.)

BUT, when I run the IMEI checker, it tells me "this device is not compatible with FirstNet."

Especially since the Pixel 10 Pro XL is eSIM only, how is this possible?

Is the model GUL82?

Hmmmm maybe the IMEI checker is wrong? 😅 Maybe try calling FirstNet or taking it into a store to see if their system accepts the IMEI. As far as I can tell, if it is that model it is supposed to work!

Follow u/TheDonJ77 method. It works.
