Question International or T-Mobile?

[stevec5375]

I am considering purchasing the OnePlus 9 or 9 Pro. As a longtime T-Mobile customer I want to know if the International version of the phone is 100% compatible with T-Mobile. I have read on some web sites that there are frequency bands missing on the International version that are supported on the T-Mobile version. I would prefer to buy the International version because updates would come sooner. Does anyone have any information on this? Thanks!

Yes, my last 2 Global OnePlus's works great with tmobile usa including 5g...

I used 3T, 5, 6T, 7Pro and 8Pro international version with TMO sim and no issues. All works great (in my area) including 5G. (not sure about the SA band on OnePlus though, only recently updated my sim card and 5G SA works on my international S21 Ultra).

You'll have to make sure you get a model with the right bands when it comes out.

I always buy from the manufacture. The mobile cell providers always have to add their crummy annoying software tweaks.

I do not case which one as long as custom recovery and custom rom are available

I'm also a long time T-Mobile customer, and I will always buy from the manufacturer going forward. T-Mobile puts too much crapware on the phones. I also like to root and mod my device, and it's a real pain to do that on a T-Mobile device.
