OnePlus 6T Certified for BYOD

[carol_vzw]

We heard you! The OnePlus 6T is certified for Verizon.

From OnePlus:

Unlock your OnePlus 6T with the fastest in-display fingerprint sensor on any smartphone. We are setting a new industry standard with our cutting-edge Screen Unlock technology.

The 6T is available for purchase from OnePlus and other retailers for activation on Verizon via BYOD.

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

[carol_vzw]

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.

[mama23dogs]

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.

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

[b1uebird]

Have you used your 6T in a VzW 1X extended network area successfully?

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.

[mama23dogs]

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.

[mama23dogs]

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

[MeadowLotusSong]

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. 

[mama23dogs]

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.

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.

Hi, I have a new Oneplus 6T and it does not receive incoming texts.

thank you

[mama23dogs]

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.

[mama23dogs]

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. 

[b1uebird]

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.

Hi b1uebird

Sorry to read about your experience. The OnePlus 6T does not support CDMA so it will not receive calls in extended 1X areas. Thank you for your feedback.

[b1uebird]

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