T-Mobile OP6T dual SIM question

I ordered the 6t from T-Mobile website and will have the phone next week.
Would really like to see what we can get with the dual SIM difference. Is it just the SIM holder that's restricting the dual SIM or is the actual circuitry different.
If it's just the holder, then flashing the global room for the 6t should enable the dual SIM functionality.

From what's been said by others (And confirming myself with the T-Mo model in hand), there is only one IMEI number assigned to the phone, and thus I doubt the dual sim functionality can be made to work at all.

Also... As some mentioned in the other thread... We can't flash the global ROM on the tmobile device.. There's some specifics to the modem that can't be changed.

Dual SIM might be an issue but custom rooms/ports based on then global version will not be an issue at all once bootloaders are unlocked after the first month.

Can someone with the 6 see if the dual sim tray will fit the 6t and pop in two Sims that work on the T-mobile network? This worked with other phones with single imei so it might work here too...

True, but that doesn't mean that we can't flash a new radio once these devices start getting unlocked.

You should be able to flash the unlocked version of OOS once your device is unlocked from T-Mobile

We should be able to but the official line atm is that due to modem specific changes the global version cannot be flashed on to the tmo variant..also due to this the tmo variant won't be included in the Oxygen is beta releases..lastly ppl are saying that the tmo variant doesn't have a secondary imei for the 2nd SIM slot that is disabled/not present..in order to confirm any of this we need a tmo variant bootloader unlocked..we likely won't see any developments till the 2nd month of the phones release.

Paid in full, as I'm even the $300 credit? Or are you still receiving that?

You're phone is SIM unlocked from T-Mobile..to unlock the bootloader u need to request a token unlock from one plus before u can experiment..which they say will be sent after requesting in 7 days..or did OnePlus already send u the bootloader unlock token. SIM unlock is simply one requirement in order to request the bootloader unlock.

If the phone isn't locked to T-Mobile I don't see why it can't be changed it would be treated as any other unlocked device

What about the the new 600Mhz crappy spectrum (Band 71) on Note 9 is a joke not FULL LTE only 4G and like -500db this is absurd so I need to know if the T-Mobile version is only software (modem) or the change something to the CPU or wait to someone extract the modem of the T-Mobile version and flash it to the Global Dual Sim and done.

Without knowing location I can easily assume that:
1.) -500dB means you are stupid far from a tower that's using said band
2.) ...because you're so far from said tower you will not get optimal speeds

Use the app Cell Mapper & look on your desktop PC for the site with the same name.
It'll give you a look at where each band is deployed.
Band 71 is still sparsely in use, I'm guessing less than 10% of all T-Mobile towers have it

I already use few ones to check it. right now I using OP 5T with T-Mobile and Att (dual sim) honestly with T-Mobile got few hiccups on the road here and there I do test with both but the Att Signal is strong all the way I ever go with T-Mobile I got HD Voice and voLTE (no need buy the phone from theirs the services are SIM Card provided) but Att have it if you bought a branded phone from theirs.
I will wait few months more I don’t think T-Mobile will stand near Att yet.

So still no working dual SIM options?

As per the title, are we still without dual sim support? Killin' me!

Correct, nobody has figured out a way to do it yet. It's possible we never will depending on if the X55 modem will ever play nicely. Nobody has been able to manage to boot the International 7T Pro ROM either, which could be a first step.

I have found people using dual SIMs on the OnePlus 7T. I think you just have to get SIM unlocked from T-Mobile then buy a dual SIM card tray.

Sadly, it's more involved than that. It normally involves switching to the international variant of OxygenOS. The problem: this device is a T-Mobile exclusive, which means there's no variant of the software that'll allow dual SIM without a custom ROM.

Dual Sim not enabled in USA?

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?
Mahalo

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:

Did they enable Dual SIM with the new 10.5.11 update?

I got a notification that the new version is available, did anyone already update to the new version? Is the Dual SIM now working?

Are you still waiting for the dual sim to be turned on? I had a feeling it won't be enabled until the android 11 is available. I

from what I have heard and read from a user in the USA witn the NA version over on oneplus forum with the DP3 firmware, both sim slots are actually working in the DP3, I`m running the DP3 OS and i just tried slot 2 for the sim and it works, data and phone calls work on SIM 2!

Well at release they said "soon", then they said by the end of June, then July, then "first of august". Now not until A11 I guess because it does work in there....but at this point I expect them to disable it on NA version too just because.
No, not waiting anymore.

I'm really disappointed with this and I've been waiting. I'm either going to get a different dual sim phone or wait for A11 to come out. Waiting a few weeks after release is fine but not 6 to 8 months, which they already going to come out with a new model.

As far as I know, only DP3 in the US supports Dual SIMs. I'm using a VZW and my work TMO SIMs working fine.

I have been struggling from the begining of this issue now day 106 -- lol My views is that this is a political issue not a tech one. It is becoming very obvious to me that OP has no intention of correcting this and since every other variant is dual sim it leads me to believe this is because north american carriers do not like or support dual sim phones. OP is trying to break into the partnership game and I'm sure T-Mobile dictated the terms and removing dual sim was likely one of them. The other very disappointing thing is that OP has become strictly regional and will not sell other variants out of your region and going to places like amazon is the only option. Here is the thing if you have repair issues support will not touch your phone and offer a replacement for your sales area only. I had a 2023 and it needed fixing. I sent it to OP and the only solution they would come up with was to replace it with a 2025 so I,m back to square one, no pun intended, I now have 2 2025 and one still in the unopened box and both are for sale with a xperia 1 on it's way from hong kong. I have had 7 OP handsets and was right in there from the startup but I'm gone. The regionalization of OP has taken them into the area where there is no room for the small group who want that raw and pure unbranded phone, easy to root and a good international tool. My advise to anyone considering OP, especially in north america is to go somewhere else if you are looking for a true international phone. Their support will not help you if it needs fixing if you purchased a "world phone" variant. Maybe a class action suit would be in order but this group of disgruntled users is likely too small. Damn !!!!!!!

I have the 11 version and dual sim IS working. U.S. version btw. Crap just realized you were inquiring about the update not DP3.

So if I did that, could I then take my physical sim card and put it in my S21+ and have service to both phones with the same number?

No, once you convert existing physical SIM into eSIM, your old physical SIM will no longer get service. If you want service on two separate SIMs with same number, Tmobile offers data with paired digit plan for that purpose.
This eSIM conversion allows you to have one empty physical SIM slot in your phone so you can use another carrier's SIM in your phone.

I have paired digits on my watch. I work for T-Mobile and saw a message about eSIM for the Note20 and Note20 Ultra when I logged in today but didn't have time to read it.
I still wish we would have gotten the April Security Patch like the S21+ did.

Thanks, I've been here since the HTC HD2 days, which was the first first phone I ever did anything with which was to be able to dual boot Windows Phone 7 and Android. Quit rooting stuff a few years ago after my V10 bricked itself while I was watching Netflix and I didn't feel the need to anymore and just don't have the time. The last few years I haven't said much, I've been more of an observer. I still do minor things like use ADB to move or hide the status bar and stuff like that. But pretty much run stock on both my phones.

Those were the days! HTC with their fastboot bootloaders. I have also stopped rooting, as I like Samsung UI but do miss Viper4android and Nandroid/Titanium backup as Google still hasn't provided a proper backup solution sadly... Now that there is eSIM makes this more complete of a phone.

So is this confirmed to be able to use 2 lines, 1 esim and another T-Mobile sim?
Or is it just converting your sim to esim for no real benefit?
From what we've seen, T-Mobile variants only have 1 imei listed.

I'd the device is locked to t-mobile, how can you use another carrier in the other sim? Would need to get it unlocked.

Will unlocked version of Note 20 Ultra get this update with eSim support on Tmobile?

From what I understand, unlocked will not get the update for the eSim option. I could be wrong but that is how I understood it.

So in theory can I swap to an e-sim from Tmobile and then put another sim in from Europe when I travel?

I suppose if I flash build N986USQU2DUC8 using modded odin, I'd be able to access the
e-sim/dual sim feature by effectively morphing my factory unlocked handset (SM-N986U1) into the carrier-bound equivalent (SM-N986U).
I have to admit, I might give this a shot as I stand to gain something here, not necessarily lose! Sure, I'll pick-up a little carrier bloat, maybe a half-a-dozen apps in the switch, but that's it!?
It's a bold move, but a smart one, for T-mobile! When you pair that one with their recent commitment to Google for integrating the Google Messages app into their (Android-based)) system app line-up for new device offerings. They recognize the value of the upgrade to RCS messaging and what comes with that, for existing and new tmobile customers alike.
Sure, It'd be easier if this e-sim/dual sim feature was included in the SM-N986U1 OTA March Security Patch Update for the unlocked users, but their heart is in the right place and with their core users (SM-N986U) I suppose?
(I'm gonna give it a shot over the weekend...I'll be back!)
