I'm curious if the OnePlus One will be able to work on Verizon. It seems like an awesome phone. Here is from their site (oneplus.net/one#specifications):
Very doubtful. The devices would be listed on Verizon as to operability.
Call 1-800-922-0204 and ask it cannot hurt.
Good Luck
100% positive it will not work on Verizon. Too bad because it seems like a great value for a phone with those kind of specs
It doesn't have Band 13, so unfortunately it won't work. Once Verizon drops CDMA for all LTE/VoLTE, more phones will be able to be used, including the OnePlus One.
I was just told today by tech support that the Oneplus One will be supported as of Mon Oct. 27. With the addition of XLTE (LTE Band 4) they have now had the testers validate the phone.
I tried to activate mine today, and was told to wait two days.
It doesn't have CDMA radios so how are you going to call and text? And it still doesn't have Band 13.
From my research, I see it can send text and data, but no voice calls.
It will only work for Data and Text, if you plan on calling or having people call you, you're SOL
Post back with the results in a couple days from now let the thread know if worked out or not..

Hey Everyone, I know this thread is a little old however I just got off the phone with a knowledgeable Verizon tech.
Here is the Scoop on the OnPlus One:
1. LTE band (for my area) is 17 and this should be good nationwide in the US
2. WCDMA is an unknown term/spec to them so they are not sure if voice will be compatible
3. Neither side (OnePlus or Verizon) will confirm nor deny compatibility of this device on the Verizon network, although certified carriers on the OnePlus site does not have Verizon as a carrier
So the result I was told was to put a registered 4G SIM in the OnePlus unit and boot it up, see if can make phone calls and if voice on CDMA goes through chances are you will be fine. But that's where your support stops, chances are..
I am not in a position to be a beta-tester for Verizon network and then have no one support me should something go wrong (plausible deniability). So this device, although very nice, in my humble opinion is not supported.
Also, I heard rumors in this thread that Verizon is going to drop CDMA. I was told that this is absolutely not true for the foreseeable future because CDMA, although very old and inefficient, still has (2) networks it has to support (2G & 3G devices) so if they drop CDMA guess what? Big Headaches for those users and Verizon. Don't look anytime soon for CDMA connectivity for voice to go away, so please do keep those old 3G phones like I did to have a backup when your 4G phone totally dies so you have something to make calls and still get data until a replacement can be procured.
