So I want to buy a second-hand Pixel 4, Locked to EE.
Since it is less than 6 months old I cannot unlock it from EE
As I am aware ID uses EE as one of its service providers, so would I be able to use my sim on the phone without unlocking it?
EE locked Phone

Hey
Unfortunately you won't be able to use iD Mobile on a phone that is locked to EE. iD Mobile is using Three network exclusively as they partner for coverage. EE is working with BT Mobile, ASDA Mobile and Virgin Mobile (apparently not for much longer though as rumors says that Virgin is shifting to Vodafone). Here is a full list of providers active in UK with the networks that their are working on.
Kind Regards
Gregor
