I have mine. But am waiting to see if it has problems like the Razer 2. Other users, what’s the scoop?

Hi mama23dogs, I know you are looking for feedback from other customers (not me)... but I wanted to tell you that when you do decide to activate your 6T please activate through MyVerizon > MyDevices > Activate or Switch. If you just pull the SIM from your existing device and power up the 6T without activating in MyVerizon or through Customer Support, you could encounter SMS issues. Sorry if you were already planning to do that, just hoping to help obviate that potential issue. Have a great weekend and I hope we hear from 6T users soon.

:smileyhappy:

Thanks for that. I’m aware that was the problem with the Razer 2.

Just an FYI for others, getting the device swapped out from prepaid enter me to change rate plans, so I canceled. Support was very helpful, even called me back, which for prepaid support is a gold star moment. Dozen thumbs up.

I'm interested in hearing from others as well. Has anyone been able to activate their OnePlus 6T and use it... with NO PROBLEMS?

I'm looking at purchasing one in a month or so, but will hold off if there are issues.

Momma23dogs

If I get a chance to get to the local store to swap the phone I’ll Post an update. I’m running it on ATT and love it. The gestures are fantastic.

My OnePlus 6T is working fine on Verizon. I went to the Verizon to get a new sim card since the one in my HTC One was too big for the nano sim slot.

Momma23dogs

SINTAY good to know. I still haven’t made the trip.

VzW Customer service: will the OnePlus 6T be able to make and receive phone calls in Verizon's 1X extended network areas? I live in a 1X area and I am currently using a non-Verizon unlocked phone and I am not having any issues making a receiving phone calls. I don't care about data, just phone calls. Thank you.

Yes, the OnePlus 6T does have the hardware compatibility for 1X networks

Carol_vzw -- will this phone be able to make and receive calls and texts in a VZW 1X extended network area?

Momma23dogs

Your phone has to be set up for CDMA-less use. It has only band 13 for Verizon. Call tech support

b1uebird

According to OnePlus support (via chat on the OnePlus website), the bands the OnePlus agent gave me that the 6T worked with on the VzW network are as follows: 2/4/5/13/46/48/66

The OnePlus agent believed that the 6T should work in the 1x extended VzW network. We shall see. My 6T is being delivered today via FedEx.

Momma23dogs

According to Verizon, they use 2, 4, 5, 13, 66. I don’t know where 46 and 48 came from.

Band 13 is in bold, as it’s the primary band. It’s the only one around my area.

I have been on the phone with VzW tech support for more than an hour. So far the 6T is not able to make and receive calls from the 1X extended network area where I live. VzW did not have the IMEI number for my particular 6T model (the 8 gig of ram 128 gig of storage variant) in their systems. It will take 3 days to fix that issue before we can test whether it is operational in the 1X area. In the meantime, I'm going to go to a nearby VzW 4G area and see if the phone works there. I think I may have to return the phone to OnePlus which is a real shame. This is a really nice phone for the money.

I haven't. I got the phone yesterday, can't call and can't receive texts. I was working with a tech but drove into my neighborhood and lost the connection. Now I'm back where I started, no texts no phone calls. When I head into town, I'll try tech service again.

Momma23dogs

To repeat the posts by CSRs: The phone has no CDMA. If you don’t have LTE band 13 constantly available, you have no service.

Download network cell info lite. As you travel in areas of service, it will show a connection to LTE band 13, possibly the other bands. Then travel out of the service area, no LTE.

There is nothing wrong with the phone or Verizon.

You can return the phone or switch to ATT. I get VoLTE on ATT postpaid.

The phone works fine on my end. I can get full bar reception in areas that are covered by Verizon. It won't work if you switch sim cards yourself, you have to take it to Verizon store to get the phone registered with a new sim card for free.

The problem I have is I live in a sort of dead zone area so I use a network extender when I'm home.

The phone has a problem connecting to the network extender. I tried reseting and even moving to 4 feet distance from the network extender and still no coverage.

Furthermore, wifi calling feature doesn't seem to be enabled with verizon sim card or setup. There is no advanced calling option for wifi calling.

Whose fault is it not enabling wifi call, IONO. I chat will OnePlus and they say I should contact Verizon. I chat with Verizon and called Verizon tech support, they said I should contact OnePlus. I've done this loop 2 times already. How do I enable wifi calling?

From forums, wifi calling seems to have no problem with this phone when it is T-mobile.

So far I can call and receive calls in areas with reception, have not tried texting.

Correct, the sim has to be set up for CDMAless cellular (VoLTE only)

If the microcell isn’t LTE it wouldn’t work.   You may be able to replace it.

No surprise. I have enabled the feature on my 6t by digging into hidden menus on the phone (completely legit, but not a discussion allowed here). Wifi calling is a carrier feature, but the phone has to be set up.

It may not be possible.   It requires added software to the phone. At&t still won’t permit non carrier branded phones either.
From forums, wifi calling seems to have no problem with this phone when it is T-mobile. Well, it was authorized for T-mo, they are selling it, no surprise.

Texting send and receive is working for me.
