That sucks. The process I followed had this SMS part but my local carrier sent and received the SMS without problems ..I just had to disabled WiFi in order to proceed the unlock ...xiaomi was not my first choice when I bought it but pixel phones are way too expensive in my country ..they are IMHO the best phones to use custom Roms
I find it hard to consider xiaomis as the best option, after my experience. If you live in a supported country, you're ok, but if not, they don't give a fuck about you.
Around here, pixels are too expensive too, but motorolas seem to be a good option and with a good method to unlock the bootloader.
I had a Motorola too ..good phone depending on the model..yeah the support for xiaomi here is terrible too I had a bricked mi4 back in 2017 that just bricked out of nowhere and couldn't have it fixed ...support makes Motorola the best option in most cases here too
