Hi,
I wll be purchasing a new phone soon and am looking for a phone that has a great chance to be rooted/able and compatable with the Verizon network.
Can an unlocked Note 8 (SM-N950U1) be used on Verizon's network?
Thanks for your input?

Yes it can. I'm using the unlocked version on the Verizon network right now.

But, no HD calling or wi-fi calling?

I am using one as well. But none of the features/services are working. I can't get any VZW apps, like visual Vmail. I don't even get vmail notifications. No HD voice or video. No NFL app live video. Nothing HAS works except voice & data.

I have been on with VZW everyday. They can't figure the s**t out. They blame Sammy and Sammy blames them. Very frustrating!!!!

No and yes, in that order.
You'll have the model with the Snapdragon SoC and that has a locked bootloader. You might one day get root (if you're lucky) but you'll probably never get TWRP compatibility or any custom ROMs.
But on the bright side, it will work on the Verizon network, so that's nice.

i am trying to use it on verizion, where is self provision? from which menu? search on settings , unable to locate it.

It can be found by searching in Shortcut Master (light) app. I can still find it, but cannot run as from BL version 3 (not sure if it was that one) many shortcuts no longer work (including all IMS-related shortcuts).
I have N950U1 on FW version N950U1UEU5CRJ2.
