UPDATE: YES. Visual voicemail does work and it is found within the dialer. It does not look as nice as T-Mobile's but it is functional. Someone just left me a message and I remembered about this post.

It does at least on US 5 iv(we have same issues as 1 iv). I ve had googleFi but i hated they overcharge for taxes like 11 bucks on simple unlimited, i did like the network but paying 61 bucks instead 50 is just crazy and all that without free international calling/sms .
Fi seemed to gouge me when pandemic hit on my flexible plan, like they changed handoff behaviors in the fi app when people spent more time at home, overriding wifi priority (faster home network too so not supposed to override at system level settings options) I consistently hit beyond unlimited limits for months and their answer was to switch mobile data on and off every time I arrived or left home. (Not a big deal for some or to automate using 3rd party but no time for that then)
Not changing my behaviors on the same device on Verizon I went back to my normal usage leaving settings as is. (had multiple devices too and was mindful of redundancy in android OEM skins over aosp frameworks for handling of networks settings )
Don't trust em at all, wasn't a coincidence and Verizon to me was the king of price gouging in my mind for years but Google Fi king of happy accidents w/shrugs. Had to switch for rural needs with no time to shop mvnos.
Just my take Google was especially annoying with support all around when pandemic their ads support was a mess so I just bailed. Not endorsing Verizon whatsoever lol.
I'm sure someone has but it's a waste of time they don't know what they are talking about.
Sony will just say something like it's unlocked and works on all USA carriers.
Sadly, just found out I made a mistake buying an Xperia IV (XQ-CT62). I'm in the US and thought SONY allowed bootloader unlock, understandable if it had a diffferent CPU from XQ-CT54 or US carrier branded. Just another product I'll ignore in the future. For humor, SONY is discriminating on Americans lol.
Maybe the s1 unlocker tool (written about here) would work for the xq-ct62? Has anyone tested?

I've tried, the tool fails with an unknown error. That being said, the tool is stated to support up to the 1 III series, so I'm not sure if they need to release a new tool to support the 1 IV.
Hopefully that's the case because I'm stuck with the US version and I really want to root this phone. It's a good phone but it's so limited and restrictive it's kind of sad.
Maybe we can bump this thread on Sony's forums to get some traction?
My old USA version XZ1 or 2 was locked as well, Sony quite often locks US devices with no possibility to unlock the bootloader. This is nothing really new to Sony devices.
I've been trying to find more info on the S1 Unlock Tool, maybe we can get in touch with dev to expand support? If the process to unlock is similar for device than Xperia 1 III.

unrelated but it makes a point sony sent out a bad update to this phone its now hopelessly stuck rebooting if we had an unlocked bootloader we could go back to the old update.
fyi there are reports turning off wifi or mobile data helps prevent this obviously not ideal
sonys argument is invalid pixel does it they can too if it not bought from vz and as you said you cant even buy it from them

ok posted had to make a new sony account we are yelling a a brick wall though nothing will change if we are lucky the v will be unlockable there is not hope for this one they probably made it impossible to change in software updates
Why would you support the device and Sony for the V regardless if the bootloader is unlocked or not. They have already shown themselves to be anti consumer liars with the IV and unworthy of our support.

Seems like Verizon wanted to restrict the bootloader because they planned on selling the phone, yet that never happened, and the request to restrict bootloader unlocks was never lifted. At least that's a reasonable theory.4DDeleted member 2398568
There are numerous threads with paid unlocking services for Samsung devices, and where the posters are affiliated with them or even stand to make a profit and are directly asking for money. Aren't those breaking the rules?
I never asked for money. I never claimed to be selling something, or to be affiliated with any of the links I shared.
I'm done with XDA. No appreciation at all. I put countless hours into finding this solution. Yes, I was let down by the community here.3
this is from gsmarena, I`m not sure how accurate it is
5G bands 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20, 28, 38, 40, 41, 77, 78 SA/NSA/Sub6 - Europe 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20, 28, 38, 40, 41, 66, 71, 77, 78, 260, 261 SA/NSA/Sub6/mmWave - USA 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 28, 38, 40, 41, 77, 78, 79 SA/NSA/Sub6 - Asia 2
That`s good, in my area we only have the 71 band for real 5G, and my CT72 would show 5G, but I could only get 20mb download, but when I had the CT62 that actually had the 71 band, I was able to have download speeds of 250mb,
