I cannot find any carrier info on either this phone or the OnePlus One. Also, is this going to be some insider invite only thing?
Thanks.
I'm almost sure that the OP2 will work on all carriers like the one
and as for the "invite only thing" - yes, you will be able to buy it only with an invite (source)
I think they're unlocked for any carrier. Until last week I saw you could buy the oneplus one without an invite only on tuesdays. And now it says no invite needed, but that's just because the 2 is going out soon. I dont know think it will be the same for the 2 at least for a few months..
Like the OPO and Nexuses, the 1+2 will work on any carrier. If anything it will have even more support for worldwide LTE.
I'd be willing to bet it won't be in CDMA carriers.

No. The SD 801 is compatible with CDMA though, so I don't know why it never was, at least for Sprint. Verizon will never allow any dev friendly phones.
Don't think you will be able to have this on VZW or Sprint, they don't like to have phones that they themselves are not selling you. You'd have to get the ESN added, and they don't do that.

Maybe OnePlus 2 will be unlocked as OnePlus One.
The OP2 will be unlocked as it is not sold with a particular carrier. Don't expect CDMA though, that requires a different chipset (and a small company like OnePlus are going to make a few variations as possible).
Hopefully it will have the 800MHz band that the OP1 so severely lacked - it is one of the more common and the only widespread LTE band in the UK

Not true. The Nexus 5X works great on Verizon. I think the 6P might also. I do not have that phone.
I'm looking to get the 1+2 I live n the US I have At&t does it fully support the At&t band's ?
Thanks

I brought an unlocked LG G6 to Verizon store today to get it activated and they were unable to do this. It appears I have 3 options:
1. Return device to bhphotovideo.com. Not sure what their return policy is.
2. Switch from Verizon to T-Mobile. Live in Silicon Valley close to San Jose, California. Their network is probably fine here.
3. Get an imei from an Android device with nano sim. The Verizon tech person said if I had a friend or family member with this they could get the unlocked G6 working on Verizon. Trouble is that I do not know anyone with an Android phone with nano sim. My old G4 used micro sim. The friends and family members have either iPhones or older Androids with micro sim.
So I could really use some advice here.
And in addition let this be a warning to anyone trying to get unlocked devices working on Verizon. I had read elsewhere that Verizon was now more friendly towards unlocked devices, but this was clearly not the case in my experience. Perhaps this is one reason Verizon is starting to lose customers for the first time in its history.
Cut your old micro sim to nano size put it in the G6 and fire it up. Then your new G6 will work and be in the Verizon data base.
Than sometime go in to Verizon and get a new nano sim. I have been down this road with unlocked phones and its not LG it is Verizon.
If you want to use the old G4 again you need a nano to micro adaptor.
I am using the US997 G6 from BH right now but my old phone used the nano sim so I just had to swap it out. Works perfect so long as you start with a Verizon sim that is already activated.
Earlier this week I activated a new SIM/device with my ancient Galaxy S3 IMEI and verizon sent me a 3-in-1 card that I punched down to the nano size cutout. Which allowed me to put my US997 on the network.
By the way, can you share if VoLTE, WiFi Calling or Video Calling work?

I would like to know the same thing! Thanks
I got this phone all I did was take my sim out of my iphone put it in the g6 and boom it works. Verizon has no idea I have this phone. Lol
Update: got the LG G6 working on Verizon after all. We had to make sure the LG G4 is powered down in order for the activation to complete since the G6 was replacing the G4 on Verizon. And boy do I feel like an idiot for not knowing that. Surprising most of the Verizon staff did not suggest to do this.
I received mine and activated it yesterday. VoLTE works perfectly. No Video/WiFi Calling though. I love this phone! No bloatware!

Are there any other differences between the US997 model and the Verizon VS988, other than lacking wifi calling? (I don't know anyone who actually uses verizon video calling, iphone people use facetime, and as android user I'd always just use duo, hangouts or skype)
How do you tst if VoLTE is working?
I'm also curious about this process. I've done a lot of searching, but haven't been able to find a direct answer yet.
I'm considering buying a Sprint G6, then unlocking it to use it on Verizon. Is this even possible? Obviously, they're both CDMA. And appear to have the bands necessary for Verizon. But I've had trouble in the past with unlocking Sprint devices to work on Verizon.
Any insight is greatly appreciated.

VoLTE worked out the box for me on Verizon. I just inserted my SIM and checked, and it was enabled. WiFi calling does not work on most unlocked phones, and the US997 unlocked edition is no different here. Video calling through the carrier does not work either.

That's great news that you got most of the functionality working, OP. Do you happen to know if the phone was factory unlocked? Or was it tied to a carrier, then unlocked afterward? Again, thanks for any additional info!

Unlikely to work. Stick with the unlocked version, model us997. Keep in mind Verizon sometimes blocks phones from their network that have the necessary hardware, like the ZTE Axon 7.

If you want OOB compatibility, the device must be certified through Verizon's Open Development process. See below.

Axon 7 is just like Moto X Pure or this us997. They are unlocked with Verizon's bands. Stick an activated sim in them and they will work.

This is old. And only one build. I went through that. They fixed it right away. I had the phone since launch. MM was great out of the box, 7.0 had a hiccup with service, GSM sim after the update fixed it on 1st boot, then you could put your​ CDMA sim back in.
If you buy the device now, the 7.1.1 build will work out of the box.
If you look through the zte forums people have had a lot of problems getting the Axon 7 to work with Verizon. Anyway, I am glad to hear you got it working all right. I like the Axon 7 a lot but was not willing to go through the extra effort that others reported to get it working. And some people could not get it working at all, not a risk I was willing to take. I blame Verizon, I do not think they are supportive of unlocked phones.
I'm curious, I'm VERY new to the android world (My iPhone XS Max is still my primary)
I started with Androids about a year ago out of both boredom and a desire to learn.
So, I picked up a Pixel 2, then an LG V30, then S8, then S9, until I found the OnePlus 6. I was instantly hooked on the OnePlus 6, only replacing it with the 6T for the fingerprint reader in the screen. (I still have the 6 and 6T, all others were sold)
Anyway - Google Fi is intriguing to me, as I end up in areas were T-Mobile simply doesn't work. I would like the carrier switching, but I don't have a desire to switch back to a more expensive Pixel 3 XL, that really ONLY offers me the advantage of the carrier switching. Overall, I found the OnePlus 6/6T running Pie to be the cleanest experience.
So, my question - Does anyone feel that someone may be able to get the OnePlus phones to do the carrier switching? Or is this actually a hardware feature? I know nothing about how Fi works, so please excuse my ignorance.
Thank you in advance for any productive responses.
Alternatively, maybe I should just sell the 6 and 6T and pickup with 3XL?

Yes, I understand that. But the question was "Does anyone feel that someone may be able to get the OnePlus phones to do the carrier switching? Or is this actually a hardware feature?"
In other words, if the switching software based that may be able to be patched into the 6/6T, or is it a modem hardware feature exclusive to the official Fi devices?

I was hopping this would be fully functional as Fi announced support for non Fi devices, but apparently network swapping is not going to work or work so well. See the write up for the explanation.
https://www.xda-developers.com/project-fi-samsung-oneplus-lg-moto-iphones/
looks to me like the one plus 6 is on there, so, the T might work as well.
contact google directly, and ask them, thats the best way to find out
Ugh, is no one actually reading the question?
I'm not asking if the phone will work with Fi, I'm asking if the carrier switching is does in hardware or software, and if it is software do the devs here feel that they may be able to port the carrier switching to the other supported phones?
ok, now I understand..
asking questions here makes people assume you are discussing the 6T, NOT project fi/android in general..
good luck

Everything I read is that you would only be using T-Mobile. But since the 6t is dual SIM you can have dual service. I plan on getting a one plus 6t and using fi(TMO) for phone calls and texting and Unreal mobile (ATT) for Data. I am not sure if you can use VZW or Sprint for the second SIM but T-Mobile and AT&T is better in most cases than TMO and Sprint (no US Cellular in my area)

Alternatively you can get a pixel 2 or 3 and project fi esim and an alternate SIM. Although it's only one SIM at a time. That way though you do get essentially 3 carriers to choose from for service
So I found if I could dial a code in my dialer for fi, with the Google Fi app installed and activated, and get "cannot switch carrier", all I had to do was clear data on my app and the dialer switch would work
It's on their site. When you choose the 6t it shows what's supported and what's not. See attached image
To answer your question, yes it appears to be a hardware problem. It is either that we don't have the cdma radios needed for sprint or el goog is playing favorites and only wants certain hardware to work for carrier switching between tmobile and sprint. I am not familiar with the us cellular required radios but it is likely the same el goog restriction in this case as well. My vote is that el goog is trying to get people to buy the officially supported devices for full functionality, they are becoming more and more just like all other carriers now, huh?
Either way I think I am switching back to fi now that the 6t is at least officially compatible for use on tmobile and I am almost certain that wifi calling will work where service is poor. I am on tmobile now and wifi calling works just fine, I made a 30 minute wifi call last night and worked perfectly.
So it's a software problem. Google will not release the software as part of an update included with every android release or they won't work with the manufacturer to update the partition responsible

OnePlus 6T has full support for T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon, and US Cellular. For Verizon and US Cellular, it also supports every CDMA Band.
For Sprint, it has every LTE Band and is missing one CDMA Band. Sprint doesn't allow unapproved devices on their network, and activation is tied to the device MEID unlike Verizon. There's no hardware reason why Fi can't allow at least LTE on both T-Mobile and Sprint. Perhaps the issue is that Sprint restricts them in some manner from using Fi on devices not in Sprint's database. Also Band 71 (T-Mobile) oddly doesn't work on Google Fi, so maybe it would lend credence to there being weird LTE Band restrictions for Fi's carrier agreements.
Well I am going back to tmobile, fi doesn't allow wifi calling and tmobile does so for me it is a no brainer. I still think that there is more going on here than just hardware issues but that's just my opinion. I mean, why is wifi calling not allowed on fi(tmobile) but it is on tmobile?
Not sure if you already switched back or if you are open to trying another service again, but i have been using Mint Mobile for a while now and love it. My monthly payment comes out to $24/Month with 5GB of data and an additional $10/1GB or $20/3GB.

Awesome dude! It is definitely worth it considering you save at least $40 from any other major carrier. Only thing it doesn't have is the visual voicemail but i never use it anyway so it doesnt bother me.
Hope it is as good for you as it has been for me.

Visual voicemail is working for me with pixel experience ROM on project fi which shouldn't work on OnePlus 6T if I remember correctly.

I'm planning on buying a Oneplus 6T soon and I have a couple questions. I'm going to be using it on Verizon (and it looks to be compatible mostly) but I noticed on amazon the A6010 is cheaper than the A6013. From some research it looks like the A6010 is a China version and A6013 is global? So my main question is, would the A6010 work on Verizon? If so does it support the same custom ROMs as the A6013? Thanks in advance.

Probably, according to this thread it's got the LTE band support for North America. https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/oneplus-6t-a6010-vs-a6013.951109/
But I'd make sure and do a bit more research, seems like if it has support for band 13 it will work on Verizon. You'd just have to probably switch it from HydrogenOs to OxygenOs by using some guide on this forum

Alright cool, thank you!
The A6010 is the Chinese version and lacks some LTE bands. Also the IMEID of the A6010 variant is probably not in the Verizon whitelist. The device must be in the Verizon white list to work.
Also the A6013 is the version certified by Verizon to be compatible.
Do not buy the A6010 to save a few bucks. Buy the A6013.
If you buy the A6010 and it does not work, you only have yourself to blame.
You have been warned.
Edit - Not trying to be hostile. trying to save anyone a headache when/if it doesn't work because the IMEID is not whitelisted or whatever.

No need for the hostility. Jeez.
Anyway I checked frequencycheck.com and it looks like the A6010 has the required bands for Verizon (B2 1900, B4 1700/2100, and BE 700c). GSMArena also states the A6010 to have these bands. Is there a reason it wouldn't work other than that? I'd like to save "a few bucks" if I can.
EDIT: I also found a certified refurbished 6T A6013. Should I just get that instead?

I wasn't being hostile. I just was trying to strongly emphasize that you might run into issues with the A6010 on Verizon.
The IMEID might not be in the Verizon database since the A6010 was never released for the US and not FCC certified.
That being said, the A6010 comes with HydrogenOS and someone, either you or the seller would need to flash it to an OxygenOS variant.
Forget about the LTE support, it probably isn't in the IMEID database and probably won't register on the Verizon network.
Get the refurb 6T. Get a SquareTrade plan for dips and spills and call it a day.
Why take the chance on the A6010 and possibly have a phone that does not work on Verizon?

You're right, I'm going with the refurb. Thank you!
Sorry for bumping an old thread, but I wanted to give my input to future googlers.
I went ahead and did not take heed of the advice given here, and bought an A6010 for use on verizon. My last phone was a Verizon branded Galaxy Core Prime so it was quite the jump for me. I can say with certainty you do NOT WANT TO BUY THIS MODEL OF PHONE FOR USE ON VERIZON! Unless you are very dedicated like me. The device is most likely not in the database but after over 11 hours of chat sessions online and phone calls (in total spanning a week), I got the tier 2 support to activate the phone in replacement of the core prime (more of a transfer than an activation) which wasn't that hard, but it was hard to get the "advanced technicians" to activate the CDMA-less feature necessary for the phone to work correctly.
In the end, my A6010 works 100% fine on verizon, only due to my stubbornness and perseverance. If you have a day to waste and really want a marginal discount, I suppose go for it. So yes, it is possible, and I might be able to help someone as I kept the last 2 online chatlogs, but it is very, very difficult. It took hours of searching forums all over the web from reddit to crackberry. Overall, I'm sorry to the user who has been vigilantly warning people not to use this model on verizon here and on reddit as well. I guess it's fair for you to say "I told you so" However I am happy where I am at now. This was such a draining and exhausting experience I just had to share it as a real life example of what not to do. But tbh if you are able to pick up this model under $300 by some miracle, chatting with 18 different support reps might actually save you some money.
Never again, Verizon.
I've got the U.S. version. My Sim1 slot has a Straight Talk (tracfone) sim.
My Sim2 slot has a Verizon sim for work (so I don't have to carry two flipping phones).
No issues with the Verizon sim. Granted, the way they have this set up, the data speed is locked
at 5meg down and about 1meg up. But, we have 24 phones, and "unlimited" data, so I'm sure they
choke it down, so people don't just start downloading all sorts of crap.
It took me less than 10 min to get Verizon to make my line LTE/CDMA less only. I have a global unlocked version from OP directly.
A6013 version though.
I just bought the A6010 version and need help with getting it unlocked for Verizon.
So to confirm:
I just bought an A6013 off of eBay
This is the model that'll work on Verizon, and I need to contact them and say that it needs to be activated as a CDMA-less LTE phone, correct?

Hi, I am struggling with a very similar issue on my one plus 7 pro, I got the GM1910 version whereas north America uses the GM1913 version, and now my IMEI isn't recognized in the system. Can you please tell me what you did to get Verizon to activate your one plus 6t? They seem to be running in circles making me order some cards and can't set my device as a CDMA less one. Thanks!

Hi, I am struggling with a very similar issue on my one plus 7 pro, I got the GM1910 version whereas north America uses the GM1913 version, and now my IMEI isn't recognized in the system. Can you please tell me what you did to get Verizon to activate your one plus 6t? They seem to be running in circles making me order some cards and can't set my device as a CDMA less one. Thanks!

I'm just going to jump in just cause I'm going through the same situation. The IMEI needs to be in their database and don't let them tell you in can't be done because after 5 calls I did manage to find someone helpful. He submitted the form which were just a few questions ie type of phone, IMEI, where did you get it ( in my case I said OfferUp) and after 3 days he got back to me and told me the IMEI number is good to go and all we needed to do was add the cdma-less feature on my account. Like he said it was a pain in the ass but I called tech support on a daily basis sometimes even calling right back just to get a different tech guy. Almost everything works but right now the only issue is I'm not receiving text messages ( I can send them fine) but from what I'm told you need to sync the network/billing but so far it hasn't been a priority just because I kinda gave up after my last two calls to tech support ? and I have everything else so i use Facebook/ hangouts for messaging at least for now. I'll call back eventually to get that taken care of ... Now my experience is not too say that you're gonna go through the same crap you might get lucky and get someone on the first try. I guess it all depends on who you get on the line and if they can't help you just keep calling ...
Read one review that said you can't use Dual SIM in the USA right now? Anyone know if that's true and an ETA/or if It'll eventually come? Can't use my 7Pro with Dual Sim because my work verizon account won't let me switch to "CDMA Less" so when I saw the 8Pro supports CDMA I was excited.........then I read that.
Anyone have any more info?

I'm wondering the same thing. I want to order the unlocked OP8 pro from OP's website tomorrow but if the dual sim is disabled, there's no way to know when they are going to update it to enable dual sim. I want to dual sim out of the box, otherwise it's useless for me. My OP7 currently has two sims in it.
If you buy the carrier versions of this then no you will not have dual SIM, however if you get the unlocked version from OP themselves then you will be able to use dual SIM. Or at least this is how all previous versions have worked. Only caveat I would think is if you are a Verizon customer as I think they need the specific Verizon version.

I am on Verizon but if I wanted 5G, then I need to get the 5G VZW UWB version, is that right? But the only caveat is that they don't offer the Pro with VWZ 5G and only the standard OP8?
My understanding, and maybe I am mistaken, that the pro also comes in that version for Verizon.

Unfortunately it appears Verizon will only offer the non-pro model in the 12 GB RAM configuration for $799 but in two colors.

Straight from OnePlus support today:
"as the device is just out and the first software update/OTA is yet to be released, it is recommended to wait for it rather than doing a reset to the device as the system itself says that it will be fixed on the upcoming update and you can change from single to dual."
Already RMA'ing it up and sending back. When/if it's ever enabled I'll give it another shot.
Borderline deceptive advertising IMHO.

Pretty bummed out. I also ordered directly from OP. My T-Mobile (home) sim is in the first slot, and my work (AT&T) is in the second. I thought it must've been a mistake when I first saw the error, as I've used OnePlus phones ever since the OP5T and haven't seen this *not* work one day 1.
Bummed here too. Got mine today and was looking fwd to popping work and personal SIMs in but SIM2 is a no go. DM'd OP support on Twitter and was told it should work out of the box. I directed them to this thread and screenshots from my device. Crickets.....

I'm seeing in other threads that others seem to have it working (UK users, at least). Have you heard anything back from OP yet? I wonder if removing the second sim and putting it back will trigger something
The response I got was that they, "found that there is an issue with the Dual SIM." and "The team said they will roll out an update which would fix this issue." No ETA given and I didn't respond. I ended up listing and selling my OP8P on Swappa.
ARGH, hope they fix this soon so I can pull the trigger and buy one! Course until then my OP7P will work
Only response I've been able to get from OnePlus is:
This is to inform you that as of now we do not any official information regarding this. We request you to stay tuned to our social media channels for future updates.

I really how no idea what you are talking about. All my OP phones, as far back as the OP3 my son has, has been dual sim. I had zero issue on my last four phones... (five, counting the Axon 7 I had), then this one comes along and it doesn't work. The only thing I can think of is something changed with the switch to 5G.

Deceptive advertising? More like your inability to read. It says on the website that dual sim will be enabled in a future update.
Can we flash an US version with the UK ROM?
Grrrrrrrr. I was really hoping yesterday's update (10.5.6) would've fixed the dual SIM issue, but no. It hasn't. It'll show VoWifi for a sec, then switch back to VoLTE.
At least MMS seems to be working with wifi on. That was broken until this update.
I'm in Germany and I can use dual SIM, but not with 5G enabled. Oneplus is still working on the software on multiple fronts and the US seems to be behind, see screenshot:
