Missing OEM unlock options in developer options - OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers

Oneplus 8 UW IN2019. just did factory reset. I bought it on eBay and it said unlocked but I'm not sure.
I cannot find OEM unlock option anywhere (searching also won't work).
Tried to change system time, won't work.
Any help (check if the phone is unlocked or not; fixing the issue to help me unlock bootloader) is greatly appreciated!

Have you enabled the developer options?

You have to use the special MSMTool method in the "Guides" section of this device in XDA.

OEM unlocking greyed out (Android 10, Pixel 1st Gen)

Trying to enable OEM unlocking from Developer options, its greyed out with "Connect to the internet or contact your carrier". This phone was purchased from the Google Store and therefore isn't SIM locked and it is connected to the Wi-Fi. I have tried to insert my SIM card and this hasn't changed anything.
I have tried to factory reset the phone again, this still leaves OEM unlocking greyed out. Any other solutions to be able to unlock OEM unlocking?
I support. I tried ALL methods of unlocking the bootloader and nothing worked

Cricket Phones?

I am being told that Cricket Phones cant have the Bootloader Unlocked. I find this hard to believe. Even with how much I'm struggling to get the bootloader unlocked on my nokia phone. Any ideas?
Well on my Z851M in developer options there's an option to enable "OEM unlocking". This might require the dialer code *#*#759#*#* to be run first and then the OEM Mode to be enabled.

Question OnePlus 9 T-Mobile sim unlock with unlocked bootloader

I have a OnePlus 9 T-Mobile (LE2117). I got the bootloader unlock code from the OnePlus and was able to unlock the bootloader (fastboot oem unlock).
The phone was bought from T-Mobile and it is not paid off. In the Settings > About device > Network Unlock settings it says that it is locked and it is not eligible for neither permanent unlock nor temporary unlock. The temporary unlock is not available, because it was already applied for 5 times during this year.
I am outside of USA and I do not have a T-Mobile sim-card.
Does anyone know whether it is possible to unlock the network, if the bootloader is already unlocked?
PS: I searched here and I saw people saying that it is possible to unlock bootloader only after unlocking sim (network), but my request to OnePlus for unlocking bootloader was approved and I got the unlock code file (unlock_code.bin).

A few months ago I ran the gamut for exactly this because a neighbor bought a T-Mobile version of a device off a local classifieds site thinking he'd unlock it and put a custom ROM on it. Turns out dude who sold it to him over the internet hadn't finished paying the thing off before dumping it and abandoning his contract; had to twist the arm of my corporate account rep and get upset with some of the upper echelon of T-Mobile to be told that.
As you're finding out, carriers don't take kindly to people trying to alter the software on devices they don't own yet (I.E. are still paying for).
As such, carrier unlock and OEM unlock are two different things; temporary unlock and full unlock are different kinds of carrier unlock, and AFAIK OEM unlock won't be enabled in Developer Options unless you've performed a full carrier unlock (so color me surprised at your situation), which you won't be eligible for (and T-Mobile won't release) until the phone is paid off free-and-clear in their system, up to and including any past-due balances on accounts the device may have been a part of, as well as having to meet additional criteria you can check in their policy here.
If you are successful in this endeavor, keep in mind that T-Mobile will be within their rights to demand payment in-full for the remainder of the balance of the device the moment they realize it's been tampered with.
EDIT: I found this, may be helpful. In the first post they say someone came up with an MSM package that doesn't require SIM/carrier unlocking: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/convert-t-mobile-oneplus-9-to-global-or-other-firmware.4277169/
