I haven't found too much on this topic. I have found a lot on the Oneplus 6. I am trying to get calls and texts on Verizon. Upon inserting a Verizon SIM card I get 3g but I do not get calls and or texts and from what I have read regarding the Oneplus 5 and verizon I should be able to get calls with along with 3g. I have tinkered with APN settings and the settings found under *#*#4636#*#* but have not been successful. Has anyone successfully gotten it to work on Verizon?
Oneplus 6 on Verizon
- Thread starter sterns
- Start date
I am having a similar issue. I just received my OP6 and can only get Verizon data (either 4G and 3G data both work). No matter what SIM slot I use or if I set my preferred network type to only 3G/2G, I can NOT make or receive calls. For the record, I live in an area where I don't need LTE band 13. And since the phone has both Verizon 3G bands BC0 and BC1, in theory, I should be able to connect to BC0 and/or BC1 to make/receive calls. Roaming is enabled.
I'm coming from a ZTE Axon 7, where I was able to run my primary cricket sim in 4G, leaving the Verizon sim for phone calls only in 3G. On my ZTE Axon 7, I used cricket for calls/data/text, and used sim slot 2 for my work phone only for calls. APN settings I copied over from my working ZTE Axon 7.
Has anyone been able to get OP6 to receive and send phone calls working on Verizon? If so, any pointers you could pass along would be appreciated.

This man is correct. The phone is only certified for ATT, T-Mob, and US Cel.
How can you buy a $500 dollar product and not check if it can be used on your network?
It actually can work with Verizon and I actually got it to work! Previous Oneplus devices have worked with Verizon so it isn't that big of a shock that the 6 works with Verizon. For some reason the current Android 8.1 build of Oneplus's OS does not automatically detect and choose which cell bands to use. I installed the Android P Beta 2 that was released by Oneplus and I popped in the Verizon sim and it works. I get both data and talk/text. This build has an option to auto detect bands under *#*#4636#*#*. Installing the beta is very simple, no rooting or unlocking the boot loader needed. Oneplus actually has a forum post where they explain how to do it. The Android P beta 2 is actually daily driverable unlike the beta 1. I'm happy to go further in-depth on settings to check if you'd like, I want people to be able to use their Oneplus 6's on Verizon. Before I got mine to work I hadn't found anyone else who had given details as to how they got it to work on Verizon.
Please don't follow this man's advice. The device is not certified for use on Verizon network.
Is this an attempt to troll? Just because Oneplus doesn't pay Verizon to have their phones' IMEIs certified does not mean that it will not work. There have been plenty of people to get their Oneplus 5T to work with Verizon and the 5T and 6 are rocking the same radios internally. There is a post of reddit, which I cannot link since I do not have enough posts on my XDA account to provide links, titled "OnePlus 6 Android P Beta working with Verizon sim" which was posted 10 days ago where someone stated that they got the OP6 to work with the beta the only difference being is that they installed the first release of the beta which is not really usable for day-to-day while Oneplus's second release of the beta is what I am currently using and it is completely usable. The only issue is that bluetooth connectivity using the beta is spotty. I'm hoping that the actual release of Android P will allow for the same auto detection of bands.
Attempt to troll? Attempt to warn users against using false information.
Like its predecessors, the OnePlus 6 won’t work with Sprint or Verizon

Well I'm glad it seems as though you have done your own research on this forum and as a senior member of this forum I'm sure you are aware of the other posts on xda that reference others' ability to use the OP 5T on Verizon. Sprint whitelists IMEIs so to the best of my knowledge a OP6 would not work on Sprint. I would encourage anyone looking into trying to get a OP6 to read all other posts on this forum regarding OP's and Verizon/CDMA usage, as I learned a lot from doing so. My post on getting the OP6 to work on Verizon does not harm the device nor the user. My previous post is not encouraging others to buy a OP6 in the sole hopes they can get it to work on Verizon because other's mileage may very. If someone already has a OP6 and would like to try to get talk/texting to work on Verizon then I am encouraging them to try to installing Oneplus's second release of the Android P beta. I bought my OP6 with the intention of switching to T-Mobile but now that I have gotten it to work on Verizon for the time being then there is no reason for me to switch. I joined this forum and made my original post in search of other Oneplus 6 users that have gotten their OP6 to work with Verizon. I'm glad that the supportive community of xda senior members such as yourself came out to help, but as it stands I'm quite sure based on your previous responses that you have not tried to use a OP6 on Verizon, and at this point I wouldn't be surprised if you did not own a OP6. Thank you for taking a stance on a subject you do not know much about.
Oneplus 6 is not certified for use on Verizon network.
There will be no support from either Oneplus or Verizon for this phone.
Period.
Thank you, duly noted. I think we are arguing over two different things.
I haven't argued a single time. I have only stated easily verifiable facts.
Verifiable by what? Installing a beta OS and basically hacking a device to work on an unsupported network?
Listen to yourself!
...the dudes just saying how he got it to work? Kinda what the post was made for lol. Who cares if it's "officially supported" smh lmao.
Who cares? Potential buyers. People spending hundreds of dollars.
But he got it to freaking work so why does it matter lol. Potential buyers see what they're getting into if they're reading this. My God how dumb can people be ?*
I would say that anyone looking to buy the OP6 with the intention to try to get it to work with Verizon know what they are getting into, including the possibility it does not work at all. The OP6 in general in the US is a bit of a nerdier phone to begin with. It's not what I would call mainstream.
Potential buyers do see what they are getting into-But he got it to freaking work so why does it matter lol. Potential buyers see what they're getting into if they're reading this. My God how dumb can people be ?*
only because of my posts, and mustibeta's https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76949730&postcount=3
This is the whole point!
ORRRRR they see that if they buy the phone and use dp2 they can use Verizon ?? if they're okay with that then there's no issues with buying the phone.
