OnePlus just informed me they will NOT unlock bootloader for a device on bought on Ebay.

I think we're in agreement. When I said Global I was referring to the firmware for the easy unlock. The 2 models of the OnePlus Nord N10 5g with the direct bootloader unlock (e.g not requiring OnePlus support to give you a token) are the BE2026 which from the Ubuntu Touch device page informs to apply the Global firmware Oxygen 10.5.7 and the BE2029 which informs to apply the EU firmware Oxygen 10.5.7 in order for Ubuntu Touch to work properly (Halium needs to interact with those specific firmware).

For this particular phone, other devices, for example BE2028 (T-Mobile) and another for Metro, are generally tied to a particular carrier initially, require unlock token from vendor support regardless if Global or EU firmware is applied directly to the device.

Yes, mostly. I was trying to clarify for others. I had recently tried same as you (modify the 'global' firmware with info from the BE2028, and then install on BE2028), which installed & booted, but STILL required unlock token from 1+ (FAIL). I returned that phone.
So then I bought a BE2026, which required only re-install of older stock firmware, & DIY unlock.

BE2026 phone still NOT usable for me (as daily driver) without WiFi calling, or NATIVE VOIP app.

Yes, clarify for others is my goal as well. Nice that we (along with others here) are like minded in this way.

What carrier are you using? What version of Ubuntu Touch are you running?

@Leroy_Linux We experimented with SIP in the dialer and it is capable of making and receiving VoIP calls. Audio routing needs troubleshooting as it could only either send or receive audio, not both. Also, it could stand to be integrated better so that it is prettier and the dial buttons show up during calls. Any help with that would be appreciated. We have a telegram group just for this subject.

Has anybody had luck getting an unlock token from Oneplus for a BE2028 that was sold by a third party over amazon?
...
has anybody tried "adjusting" an invoice slightly?

Thank you for info. Sounds like progress. I will check back.

Good to know. I'm running 24.04-1.2 stable and T-Mobile.

I misread your post. Somehow I interpreted the phone wasn't working well, but you clearly stated that it's just not a daily driver unless WiFi calling or native VOIP. (neither of which I've used... my requirements are just for the working phone which it has done well thus far). Thanks and sorry for my confusion. Hope you find a way to meet your requirements!
