I'm considering buying a unused corporate-locked (AT&T) iPhone 13 Mini with six month of AC+ left. Because it's corporate-locked, I won't be able to unlock it after 6 months, meaning I'm locked into AT&T. AFAIK, AT&T network-locked phones can run without issue on AT&T-only MVNO's like PureTalk and Cricket.
But has anyone tried using an AT&T-locked iPhone on a multi-carrier MVNO, like US Cellular or Red Pocket, which make use of all three major networks (AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon)? If it would also run on those, that would make things less restictive.
EDIT: NVM, I did some additional research and found it would not run on US Cellular or Red Pocket. Apparently carrier-locked phones only run on MVNO's using that carrier's network exclusively.
