Unlocked OnePlus 7T now unavailable in US, better find one quick if you want it
July 24, 2025
TheOnePlus 7Twas one of the best phones of 2019, not to mention one ofthe best phones the company has made. Unfortunately, though, getting an unlocked OnePlus 7T here in the United States just became a bit more difficult as it appearsOnePlus is no longer selling it.
If you head toOnePlus.com, you’ll find the company is only sellingthe T-Mobile version of the phone. There is no longer an option to buy an unlocked OnePlus 7T. The T-Mo version is currently $100 off, though, so that’s certainly nice.
Unlocked OnePlus 7T might be gone for good
It’s not clear if this is a permanent change or a temporary one. However, theOnePlus 6Tfrom 2018 also made a similar shift late in its life cycle. In fact, that phone is still available from the OnePlus site, but alsoonly in its T-Mobile form.

The differences between an unlocked OnePlus 7T and a T-Mobile branded variant are subtle but important. The T-Mobile version will be locked to that carrier unless you go through unlocking steps. It will come with T-Mobile apps pre-installed and will not receive software updates as quickly as unlocked models.
There are ways to fully convert a T-Mobile variant into an unlocked OnePlus 7T, including installing international software to ensure you get updates as quickly as possible. However, it’s far easier just to buy an unlocked model and skip all those steps.
If you want an unlocked OnePlus 7T in the US, your best bet now is tohit up third-party retailersorthe used market. You could also wait and see if OnePlus restocks with unlocked variants at some point soon, although that is unlikely considering its current focus on theOnePlus 8andOnePlus 8 Pro.
