Verizon APN settings for Xiaomi Mi Note 2

Xiaomi Mi Note 2 is a dual band Android phone. Xiaomi asserts it is compatible with the Verizon network.

Local store placed new Verizon sim card, phone recognized sim card. Phone indicated CDMA service. Representative's tablet indicated that Verizon recognized the brand and model of phone.

Phone was unable to connect to the network.

Xiaomi indicates that Verizon has to furnish me with the apn settings. Store representatives were clueless.

Help, please.

Search the community here. There was a thread recently that another community activated a non-verizon device and posted their APN settings which worked for them.

I don't think you understand, this is a GSM only phone. (Please look at the specs given in the link.)

In some specs 3G may be listed as w-cdma, HSDPA, UTMAS. These are GSM network bands.

Verizon is a CDMA network. Your phone will not work on Verizon or Sprint. It would work on Att or T-mobile, but possibly only as a 3G phone on ATT.

This is a hardware restriction, not software or programming. There is no solution with Verizon. You can get service with T-mobile or ATT.

It does appear to be the phone has the LTE bands for the Verizon Wireless network. If it did work, it won't have the full functionality on the network.

yes, i understand that based on the specs on those websites, but this was

advertised by xiaomi as being a cdma phone, and the band list wasn't

available when I bought it (stupid me)

The Mi Note 2 Global version is FULLY compatible with Verizon. It is capable of connecting with ALL CDMA frequencies in the USA, including Sprint.. If you want to use this phone on Verizon, you must use a SIM that has already been activated by a Verizon approved phone. I used the SIM from my iPhone. Simply use Verizon's APN settings and the Mi 2 Note Global edition works flawlessly.
