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.

That's wrong. Im using Axon 7 on Verizon right now. No issues at all.
I really like the G6, not sure if i should get it. I have the Axon 7 as i stated above.

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

OOB???
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.
Hi folks,
Considering getting a 6T off the OnePlus site.
For those that got the devices early:
-Do you have experiences on AT&T Network to comment on how compatible it is? I've had some devices use to work well on ATT now not so good due to band migration; just curious to hear how the 6Ts fare.
-Please confirm: both SIM and BootLoader unlocks can be done immediately when purchasing from the OnePlus site (as opposed to the T-Mobile edition that's locked)
-Are there band/frequency differences between the T-Mo and ATT Versions? I'm on ATT but usually have bought "T-Mo" versions of devices because they were less likely to be BL locked; but my last phone (OP3T) broke me out of that cycle.
Any other AT&T-relevant experiences would be appreciated.
Interested in this as well.
I would like to know as well. It's kinda looking like we will have to test it out ourselves.
I am on AT&T with the 6t. I've only had mine for a week but have had no issues with anything network related. I came from a 3T and have better service with my 6T. There were 2 dead spots on my drive to / from work with the 3T that I no longer have with the 6T. I haven't had a chance to root or unlock mine yet due to being busy at work but so far I am happy. I loved the 3T but don't miss it a bit.
I have a 6t that I bought directly from OP that I use as my daily phone on Cricket, which uses AT&T towers. I have no signal problems, and download speeds are great. Anywhere I expect to have LTE I have it.
Phone is by far my favorite device I've had. Easy to unlock, install TWRP and flash kernels, and install mods through magisk!
I've bought my phone but don't get to open it until Christmas. It should arrive in a day or two. [emoji1360][emoji1360]

Did you do anything special for volte per some of the threads? Also, does ATT visual voicemail work fine without a fuss? It's working well on my rooted 3T.

What did you do to get volte? Was your previous phone an att branded device? I came from an unlocked S8 that didn't get volte and I can't get volte on my 6T. Prior to my S8 I had the 6P which also didn't get volte.
I suggest reading this thread, https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/help/att-verizon-volte-vowifi-calling-t3860031. There's information on how to enable VoLTE settings on the phone. Most of the stuff in that thread pertains to Verizon, but some AT&T stuff too. Ultimately it's up to AT&T to provision your service properly. VoLTE is available. VoWiFi is not. Took me a couple of days & a couple of hours on the phone with AT&T support to get my line provisioned properly because the IMEI wasn't recognized. But that was only days after the phone was released. Would think that shouldn't be a problem now.
Once you get VoLTE working Visual Voicemail should work, but you need to use the AT&T app. However, for me it isn't always automatically retrieving VMs when I get them. My notifications will show I have a VM but I have to open the AT&T VVM app, go into the menu and Refresh. Only then does it pull the VM into the app.
This should be interesting. On my 3T I have ATT visual voicemail working, and it mostly works for transcribing messages (except long ones like my wife leaves...) But I don't think the phone is volte capable so I've never tried setting that up. I don't get to play we the phone til Xmas though!

Yeah. I came from using a 5yo AT&T branded HTC One M7 and VVM worked fine on that. When I first got the 6T (unlocked int'l version) & popped in my sim, I had VoLTE but I couldn't get the VVM app to activate. That's what prompted my call to AT&T support. That's when they told me VoLTE was needed for VVM. I'm not entirely sure how accurate that statement is. The rep tried a bunch of stuff to get it working, including updating my line with the IMEI from the 6T. That's when things went bad. I lost all data completely. Actually, if I switched APNs, I could get 3G data. But it took two days before AT&T sorted it out and I got LTE back. Since then everything pertaining to AT&T service has been fine. I've never found the need for VoWiFi, although it would be cool to have, if necessary. And I wish their Advanced Messaging feature wasn't so limited.

On att rn. Have been since the op2. No issues at all ? first thing I do is unlock bootloader
I got my 6T (Int'L) on or about Nov. 23, which I had purchased from OT - I am using it on a Family mobile plan which uses T-Mobile towers. VoLTE was not a part of my original service plan..but because I needed a New Nano-SIZED sim card for this phone, adding it to my account wasn't as straight forward as it normally is. Once I switch my number to the new sim card, I got an email saying if I wanted VoLTE/VoWiFi(?) features turned on - I'd have to go to another website (Cricket/Verizon/ AT&T?) to register my new sim card and this would "turn on" the VoLTE features. After all this I get a Bright "VoLTE" Icon on the status bar whever i get my LTE signals - So it is VoLTE capable. Perhaps AT&T is doing something similar to get your VoLTE activated?
My plan is to do some testing next week for basic stuff before transferring my flag from my 3T. Will report back how it goes. Appreciate any other Insights from other users!

Fired mine up yesterday when I got it. Got it all set up, then swapped out the SIM from
my Mate 9, to the OP6T this morning. Apparently the "speed" issues I had with the 9
are corrected with the 6T. I use a Straight Talk MVNO (tracfone) at&t card. Previously,
I was LUCKY to get between 9-10 meg down, 1-2 up. Now I'm getting 33 meg down, 15 up.
Guess the newer phone has a better modem, or the extra frequencies to work more proper
with the newer device.
So far, no issues, working good.
After my experience with the OnePlus One, I was still a little cautious about buying something
from them again, but, on the surface so far it appears they might have their act together.
Stay tuned.
I came from a OP3 been using the 6T with ATT prepaid for the past month and it works great. Far superior in speeds to the OP3. For example at my house I was getting download speeds of about 30mbps on my OP3 on the 6T I got over 90mbps LTE+ at home! I keep pissing off my buddy who just got the brand new iPhone XS on ATT and he is getting half the DL speeds that I am when comparing speed tests :victory:. Don't think VoLTE works on prepaid but I have yet to try to enable it. About to go to nebraska for vacation to test service out there.
Bootloader is very easy to unlock. Did it the second day of having the phone following the Official XDA employees youtube video.
So i currently have an iphone xr on at&t and personally dont like this, so i will be buying this op6t soon. My question is can i just transfer the sim card and set up apn and thats it or do i need to take the phone to at&t to activate it ?

You might wanna give this thread a look,I'm sure someone on AT&T will be glad to assist you.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/help/att-verizon-volte-vowifi-calling-t3860031
If nothing else,it's a good read,as making sure the OP6T is a good choice & all the AT&T functions you want/need will work (WI-FI Calling/VoLTE/VVM,etc....).
Typically,you shouldn't have to do a thing as far as setting the APN.
However,I'm not sure about VoLTE/VVM/WI-FI Calling working,or,if it does,requires any account adjustments/account settings changes/etc..... by AT&T Customer Care.
I have cricket (owned and operated by at&t) and as far as I know service is basically the same. All I had to do was insert the Sim from my old phone and after about a minute everything was working.
I have AT&T and when my 6T arrived I inserted my sim and received service with no issues. For lack of a better phrase it should be plug and play. I did not have AT&T for anything.

That's what I figured, judging by the short time I used AT&T Prepaid a few years back.
What sux is, at least browsing their site as a non-customer, they (AT&T) aren't exactly clear on that.
They try to make it sound as if you need to order (buy) a new SIM Card to use in a different phone, whether it's one of theirs or, a BYOD.
Is Wi-Fi Calling/VoLTE/VVM working on your OP6T w/AT&T?

Nope. They don't allow it on unlocked devices except iPhones and a small selection of Android devices. I have tried a few of the suggestions in various forum posts but none work. It's not a big deal to me because I've always had unlocked devices since I switched to AT&T and I live in an area with for reception so I'm not really missing anything that I rely on.

I am considering a OnePlus 6T so I can consolidate my two phones to one. I currently have Verizon and GoogleFi.
Will I be able to receive calls and text simultaneously on both numbers?

Yes.
Only one number controls data.
I use Verizon and T-Mobile.
You need to chat/call with Verizon and have CDMA_Less added as a feature to the line since there is no CDMA on the 6T.
It works great for me.
On the international version, you can switch data back and forth at will (there is a tile to do that quickly) but if you prefer, you can even enable dual 4G networks for both sim cards!
Cheers!

my understanding is that your Google fi Sim will default to T-Mobile only if you use it in a OnePlus 6t. you will lose the network switching benefit to Sprint and US Cellular that you get on a Google fi approved phone. So, effectively you'll have T-Mobile service on one sim and Verizon on the other.
I have heard that if you use a Google pixel with Google fi and have it set up as an esim, you can use a secondary Verizon sim in the open SIM tray. That would mean you'd have the full benefits of Google fi service as well as Verizon. As noted below, only one sim at a time can control data. Long and short, you need a pixel phone to do this because the OnePlus 6t cannot fully utilize Google fi service.
Take everything I said above with a grain of salt because I do not have a pixel phone. I am however using a OnePlus 6t with T-Mobile and XFinity mobile. The problem with my setup is that Xfinity mobile only gives me calling. I cannot receive text or use mobile data with my Xfinity Sim. This may change later once Xfinity approves "bring your own Android phone" to the service.

If this works exactly as you said it would be perfect because I don't care if my Fi sim ever connects to data, in fact I would like it to never connect since I have unlimited with Verizon and Fi costs me $10 per GB.

Thanks for bringing up that point it is very likely important to someone but for me my current Fi phone is on TMobile 99% of them anyway because sprint has very little coverage in my area. US cellular is non existent for me as well.
I have a Pixel 2 Xl now for Verizon and I thought about getting a Pixel 3 when they came out. I spent about an hour on the phone with Google about this subject and unfortunately according to Google (and a few threads here on XDA) the Pixel will not allow you do have both Esim and Sim active at the same time. So if I have my work number (Verizon) active, my old personal (Fi) will not receive calls or text and vice versa. You have to manually switch the service to use each.

I guess Gixel 3 allows using eSIM and normal SIM simultaneously with Android Q update. Bear in mind there's still a single radio so while call on one SIM is ongoing any calls on other SIM can't be known.
I have fi (tmo) and unreal (att) works perfect. Only thing is messages sometimes will fail to send. Using hangouts does fix it, only problem is that Android messages is a better app in general
works great on Tmo and ATT. using Google Messages, Google Dialer and data works fine. i have rooted converted TMo OP6t with dual sim tray. Tmo VoWifi/VoLTE works, but ATT only support VoLTE on OP6t.

Question while using Google messages. Do both of your phone numbers pop up everytime you try to type a message it's super annoying for me and the only reason I stopped using it..
Used to do that, but it stop doing it and just works. Not sure what i did. I forgot. sorry. Disabled the stock messages app and default to google messages.

I have ATT and picked up a Fi sim over the weekend. Took me a while to get it activated (had to pop it in my OP3T for it to actually work, the dual sim feature didn't play well with activation). ATT is primary and Fi is secondary for everything. I have dual 4g radios enabled but that only enables VOLTE for Fi, but the actual data is used through my primary sim (ATT). SMS messages were not received if hangouts was disabled for SMS and Fi was not set as the primary Sim for SMS. Aka SMS doesn't work unless you make Fi the primary SMS sim or use hangouts for SMS, which is fine but defeats the purpose of using the dual sim features in your default SMS app (tried this with both textra and google messages).
As someone else said already - android Q will bring dual sim dual standby to the pixel line.

Just say no.
If you need dual SIM functionality, just but the international version.
Buying the T-Mobile version mead a pain to get it unlocked before the 40-50 days.
If you flash the International ROM before then you will need to flash back to stock to unlock the SIM.
Buy the right version from day one.

That is hit or miss.
There is no guarantee that you can get an unlock.
So if you buy with the knowledge it may take 40-50 days for an unlock you can't be angry.

Just say no.
If you need dual SIM functionality, just but the international version.
Buying the T-Mobile version mead a pain to get it unlocked before the 40-50 days.
If you flash the International ROM before then you will need to flash back to stock to unlock the SIM.
Buy the right version from day one.

Yes, that's why I ended up getting it directly from oneplus.com website... Unlocked, no hassles, two sim cards.
I recently bought a new OnePlus 6T from a 3rd party vendor on eBay. It is branded as T-Mobile. I put my AT&T SIM card in it and it works great.
I would like to unlock it and remove some of the bloatware. Therein lies the problem.
I tried the T-Mobile way to get a token.... it's been over a month; no response. The phone has never been activated on the T-Mobile network.
So I called T-Mobile. Since I'm not a customer, they sent me to OnePlus Tech Support. OnePlus Tech Support sends me back to T-Mobile saying that they have to send the token.
Does anyone have some insight as to what I can do?
Never buy a T-Mobile device ever again [emoji16]
Thanks, that's REAAALLLL helpful. :silly:
Or just simply convert it to International version with modified MSMTools around here.
I have gone this route for easy bootloader unlock, not to mention two active SIM card slots on my T-Mobile OnePlus 6T (they refused to grant the SIM unlocking as long as I keep on paying off the OnePlus 6T off, so I converted it to International OnePlus 6T version to be able to be unlocked - I got better luck with my OnePlus 8T this time though).

So is there an idiot's guide to using the MSMTools? I installed it on my PC, and installed the drivers. The phone never shows up in the tool, no matter what I do. And the tool itself is lacking in any kind of explanation of what to do or how to do it.
Semi-newbie here.... haven't rooted or messed with a phone in over 4 years (last one was a OnePlus original phone). Thanks for patience and understanding.

I did finally get this to work (sort-of). My phone still says T-Mobile when it boots up and has the T-Mobile apps on it.... what's up with that?
I will have to find the conversion guide.
