You can just buy a phone that isn’t attached to a carrier. And then put a sim card or esim associated with the phone.

Salespeople confuse new buyers by making it sound like this is the only way to buy a phone but it isn’t lol. You can buy a phone - for a thousand or so dollars anywhere & then connect your service to it and it’s yours entirely no strings attached. The only time it’s attached to a plan where “unlocking” is necessary is when you have a payment plan with them.
