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'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!

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 ...
Hi there, I'm looking at buying an S10+ on eBay, and I see quite a few from AT&T (unlocked) that don't support Band 71. I'm on T-Mobile, and was wondering if I can install the T-Mobile firmware, since all of the G975U models supposedly support all the US firmwares, correct? If I do install the T-Mobile firmware on one of the AT&T unlocked models, will it activate Band 71? I live in a city and don't really need Band 71, but I do travel frequently and was just recently in an area of Band 71 coverage that my current phone LG G6 couldn't support, so I'm curious.
I'm using the following page for reference on which firmwares/phone models support which bands:

Thanks, LimeyBastard. So just to confirm I understand this correctly, all of the Snapdragon/US based models have the exact same hardware, which supports Band 71, but only Tmobile and US Cellular activate Band 71 support in the firmware? Therefore, simply flashing the tmobile firmware onto any G975U unit will result in a phone that can use Band 71?
The ATT phones for sale seem considerably cheaper than the tmobile ones for some reason, so this seems like a good way to save money.

Excellent, thank you! As it turns out, there's also a flamingo pink phone that is only sold by AT&T. I'd love to use that on T-Mobile. Of course, I can without Band 71, but now if I find myself stuck somewhere in the country, I might be able to have a pink phone to ward off the wolves! Haha. Now I just have to see if it's easy to unlock an AT&T carrier locked phone.

Hi Ace42! I don't need the ATT variant, it just so happened the cheapest model I found on eBay was an ATT variant, so I thought I could save money that way. I'd be perfectly happy if I could find a U1 variant, or at this stage any of the unlocked carrier variants. It seems unlocking these phones isn't a guaranteed thing yet? There are some really cheap ones from Sprint.
On this subject, does anyone know if these 3rd party unlock services are reliable/safe? I hate to spend money to unlock my phone, but if it costs $25 and I can use my phone on another network, I suppose it's worth it. I believe I can request an unlock from the carrier in many cases, but if they turn me down, I don't want to spend money on a phone I can't use, as there isn't currently a DIY method to unlock the G975U, correct?

I've used ATT's device unlock multiple times in the past. The only issue is that requests are denied for no reason, which means resubmitting your request. You don't have to be an ATT subscriber (T-Mobile user).
https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/
I know this is an old thread, but were you ever successful in enabling band 71 on the S10?
I am curious as to doing the same thing on an S10e - which also has a US and an international version. My main reason for wanting to do it is not cost, but the fact that the S10e comes with dual-SIM support, whereas for some insane reason, the US version does not. It seems to be that many of Samsung's US phones drop 2-SIM support.
I use AT&T for my carrier.
I'm trying to understand if I can use a brand new OP6T T-mobile version - https://www.oneplus.com/oneplus-6t-tmo?from=6t - on ATT. I had presumed if I follow the guides here to SIM unlock and flash the international version, that would allow me to use ATT (without ever using, talking to, or becoming a customer of Tmobile). Is that the case?
If not, can it be done at all (dual sim tray? 2nd imei?)?
Thanks.

If it is Sim unlocked, it should work fine, but why buy a T-Mo phone if you won't be using it there? Instead buy the global version.
I routinely see posts here from folks using the T-Mo version on other carriers and having issues, or troubles from flashing the international OS version.
Also if there is an issue with the unlock and you aren't a TMo customer who knows what the resolution path would be.

T-Mobile OP6T phone is currently on sale on the one plus website for ~$350. I don't believe new global versions are that cheap though I haven't looked yet (was about to). Thanks for your reply.
Trust me. Spend a bit more for the global phone. There are all these issues with converted phone's not passing safety net, Netflix not showing, Google Pay not working depending on what OS version you are on... It isn't worth the savings you might get.

TMobile versions don't have a 2nd IMEI, they only have one. The second sim slot has the same IMEI as the first one.
I am looking at swappa and they list two versions of the oneplus 8 pro. Whats the difference? Is one phone more inferior than the other?

There are people on REDDIT that say they're using the non us version (2023, not 2020) on Verizon just fine. They claim the US version has CDMA support but it seems you still have to enable CDMA-Less for it to even work. So if you're going CDMA-Less anyway, why do you need the US version?
Am I missing something? If you compare bands they support they both list the Verizon LTE bands, no?
