Am I am using my unlocked one on AT&T and there are the typical minor annoyances... No HD Voice/VoLTE, no wifi calling, and no built in visual voicemail option in the pixel dialer. But those are AT&T's fault.. all of the mentioned things work fine with my Verizon sim...

Does AT&T have any plans to introduce the features you mentioned?

No. They wont for unlocked devices at all. If you want to use those features you would need to go to verizon or Tmobile.

If you use Google voice, you can have visual voicemail.

Been an AT&T customer a long time and I seriously doubt it... They enjoy screwing Android and unlocked phones in general and cater to iOS..... The only non AT&T Android phone that has VoLTE is the HTC 10. They have never given any of those features to any of the unlocked Nexus so it's a fair bet they won't on the pixel either..

I pulled my ATT SIM card out of my N6 and put it into my Pixel XL when it came on Thursday. I have only made a few phone calls, but haven't had any problems. I have used it to watch many Youtube videos off ATT data. I also use a ATT Microcell at home since I live off the beaten path and it connects to that without problems while at home.
The Pixel does check for tethering permissions once you insert an ATT SIM card. There is a hotspot / Verizon thread for the Pixel that talks about an easy work around for that. The main post is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69229666&postcount=35

I always setup Google Voice on my phones. I don't use it for calling, but have it handle my voice mail to get Visual Voice mail. That and I have an old ATT 100 test messages for $5 plan so I do almost all of my texting through Google Voice.

I tested it with ATT with my 6p SIM. I then put the Project Fi car in the Pixel and the ATT back in the 6p. I am doing a test over the next few weeks with a trip to Germany, Sicily and then a 2,000 mile drive in the US from Maine to Texas. That should confirm the choice. In Maine, US Cellular beats ATT. In Texas I don't know.

I do have Google Voice but the uncertainty of android apps (ie: Hangouts being phased out, Google Voice app not being updated) wished there was something definitive to integrate with.
