Interesting....... but "in the process" really means nothing and is SO nebulous. What, 1 year, 2 years, 6 months? I would not buy a phone now based on that hope and have it have limitations. By the time it happens, a far better choice would be out.
Unlocked model on Verizon?
- Thread starter geoff5093
- Start date
Does that mean cdma may be possible at some point? Don't know what sunsetting means

Sunsetting means slowly getting rid of. Riding off into the sunset ?.

...just wow! Presumptuous bastards! Even if CDMA was being killed off in 6 Months (which I doubt), thats still 6 months without 3g and 1x in many areas across the country!
I Live in Miami, Fl (large city) and even here there's many area with 3g coverage. Miami like many cities are always expanding and i live in a new western part of the city that is not yet covered in 4g.
Thx HTC
Oh ok thanks don't know Verizon's timetable on getting rid of it though do we?!

This clears it up for most people i would imagine https://www.androidcentral.com/us-u...-support-verizons-cdma-network-and-thats-okay
Thanks for posting that, a great read and useful for understanding the issue.
So, people who live in areas where they see it falling back to 3G at times won't get any service? If you ordered through HTC's website using PayPal and never got any confirmation email, how would you go about canceling your order? Chat? Lot's of useful info in here and it's sad that there is no CDMA. Oh well.
This was already posted, but only confirmed that if you use 3g or 1x in your area you will lose reception on the HTC U11. A Verizon Tech confirmed that for me yesterday =(
But in about 2 years, you'd be good to go. :cyclops:
I wonder how much 3g is out there though. That article says it's almost gone and I would agree. We are at the beach on vacation and we took a boat out and I had LTE for a good bit out on water then it dropped to 3g for only like a split second and lost all service. I'm confident the no cdma won't be an issue

Well I can tell you the more rural areas in Iowa and Missouri have 3G areas... There are still some dead areas with no service..
Going to test this out in Colorado.
Everyone will have to evaluate their usage and travel patterns themselves.
It does look like this is the bleeding edge of future policy. I have no problem trying it out, now.

so as of right now out of the box i purchased the U11 Unlocked version put my verizon sim in it and ..... I get 4g but I cannot make calls it says voice service is blocked I can receive text messages and if i send them they say unsent but go through and if i make calls it automatically hangs up the call so time to start tinkering
Mine is coming today.
If VZW's kruftware installs and prevents me from tethering or rooting, I am sending it back. Too bad, since it isn't HTC's fault. But, that malfeasance won't stand.

Switched my Verizon SIM from my old M8 to my new unlocked U11 that arrived yesterday. 4G and SMS texting work (although for some reason replying from the pull-down notification pane doesn't), but the device can't make a phone call.
Trying to activate on VZW's website with the IMEI yields this error message:
"There was an error with one of our systems and we're working on it now. We're sorry for the inconvenience. Please try again in a few minutes. Try a Different Device"
Very annoyed with Verizon's stubbornness in this department.

I just talked to HTC for a while and they are fully aware of this issue she said it would be a week for them to get it resolved with Verizon.
