Verizon requires any OEM that sells unlocked devices with support for its LTE 4G network to apply for certification. When OnePlus began selling the 8 and 8 Pro from its online store in the US on April 29 – neither of these phones were officially supported on Verizon’s network. OnePlus initially issued a statement prior to the 8 and 8 Pro’s launch that it would not be compatible with Verizon until possibly June. In a turn of events, effective immediately, US unlocked variants of the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro can be activated on Verizon’s LTE network. The news was brought by Verizon Corporate PR Manager, George Koroneos via Twitter. Koroneos recommends that Verizon customers go to the Verizon BYOD (Bring your own device) website, log in, and enter the device’s IMEI number. Simply popping your SIM card into the phone is not recommended and doing so may limit the full activation of features on Verizon’s network. We should also remind you that neither unlocked version of the 8 or 8 Pro is compatible with Verizon’s mmWave 5G network. Only the OnePlus 8 (non-Pro)��sold directly from Verizon will support 5G on the carrier. Verizon was once a CDMA carrier, which meant it wasn’t compatible with any GSM unlocked device that you could simply pop a SIM into. Verizon required devices to have CDMA hardware that would specifically support Verizon. Once 4G LTE became the standard and the carrier’s 3G-CDMA network was phased out, Verizon stuck with the notion of only allowing certain devices to work on its network. . . . . #techies_page_oneplus #techies_page_verizon #techies_page #techies #tech #technology #oneplus #oneplus8pro #oneplus8 #oxygenos #verizon #cdma #gsm #carrier #5g #4g #network #usa #unitedstates #uk #iceland #switzerland #australia #canada #india #china #shotononeplus #neversettle #unlocked #sim https://www.instagram.com/p/B_1X8tXAhk_/?igshid=15vrw13g7asca

The new OnePlus duo doesn’t officially launch in the US until tomorrow, but some already received their pre-orders. However, those that intended to run their new phone on Verizon’s network are faced with compatibility issues. The phones require something called “CDMA-less” mode to operate on the carrier, but that can’t be activated – Verizon’s network has a whitelist of allowed devices and OnePlus is yet to send a list of IMEI numbers for the carrier to add to said whitelist. People in the OnePlus forums are reporting that their phones mostly work, though they complain of occasional dropped calls and missed texts. For others, however, the phone won’t connect at all. The OnePlus page previously claimed support for Verizon, but that has since been updated. Note that this affects both the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro – Verizon’s custom version of the 8 will be supported from day 1, but it will cost $100 more as it supports mmWave 5G and is IP68 rated (while the vanilla version isn’t). So, if you bought a OnePlus 8 or 8 Pro to use on the Verizon network, you should consider sending it back as you will have to wait quite a while for official support. OnePlus says “Our OnePlus 8 series open market phones in North America will not be compatible with Verizon until June at the latest. The OnePlus 8 purchased through Verizon will be certified immediately.” . . . . #techies_page_oneplus #techies_page_verizon #techies_page #techies #tech #technology #oneplus8pro #oneplus8 #oneplus #verizon #verizonwireless #usa #uk #unitedstates #unitedkingdom #cdma #imei #network #ip68 #5g #northamerica #canada #mexico #us #southkorea #china #unlocked #mmwave #india #snapdragon865 https://www.instagram.com/p/B_hknapgw3l/?igshid=17nvn37260sel
