LTE calling. But what about 1x?
how does one get the phone to use 1X? I don't even know how to do that with my Verizon phones.(LG G4, Galaxy Note 5, Galaxy S7, and a spare iPhone SE)
Can you run a speed test?
I get pretty slow Verizon 4G speeds in my part of the town using my Note 5 and S7. :( (never more than 27mbps)
I want to get the Axon 7 as a spare phone.
I'm on Verizon, and I still don't feel comfortable ordering this yet. I'm seeing people say that it keeps going to roaming or has noticeably worse reception than other Verizon phones. I really want this, but I just can't jump if it's not going to work properly.
I used the Sim from work form to test. When get home later tonight I will test.

1x is a voice call. If you're not doing WiFi or HD Calling, which the HD call goes over the 4g section of the network, then it's a 1x call, you'll see the signal change while on that call.

You will see Verizon at the bottom of screen.

I think the calls are on 1x. When I place a call the LTE sign goes away and it just shows the signal bar.

so the phone doesn't do VoLTE on Verizon? :(
Do you have Advanced Calling 1.0 enabled on the line and Enhanced LTE(VoLTE) enabled on the phone?
Yes to both questions.

Same here. Works fine. Only few quirks. Can't use data while on phone call.
I didn't hesitate to buy and use it on Verizon network. I've gotten over 50mbps download on occasion. Only thing I can't get is data while on phone call. I keep calling Verizon to ask about compatibility, but mostly they don't even know what the phone is. I just popped my sim card in from another phone.
I had data for about an hour and then lost all data connection until I pulled my SIM and installed it again. The phone shows it's roaming the whole time my Verizon SIM is in it.
So no, it doesn't work for me.
For anyone interested I am running both Verizon and AT&T simultaneously on this phone. I have had it a couple of days now. Verizon works only in Sim 1. I tried it alone this morning and without wireless downloaded a scanned 40 page pdf in seconds. WhatsApp appears to work as well on both lines. I am also using the Xiaomi Mi5 for the same thing. The Axon 7 is superfast and strong compared to the Xiaomi but the Xiaomi seems to use the two cards a little easier. It may just be my imagination, but the bottom line is that both phones seem to work fine with one sim card from each carrier. I took my sim card from a Nexus 5x and the AT&T card from a Windows Lumia 950, popped them both in and there you go - two networks on one phone.
I wish I seen your post before buying. I got this phone to run 2 Verizon sim's. No dice, CDMA is only on Sim slot 1. Phone is amazing otherwise. Coming from GS7 Edge, and this phone is every bit as good in every area nearly.
I was doing some more research concerning the Axon 7 (I'm a Verizon user and I really like this phone) and I stumbled upon the PCMag review which has been edited as of 10/18.
"Editors' Note: When we first published this review on July 25, 2016, the ZTE Axon 7 worked on all four major US carriers. Due to a software update, the phone is no longer compatible with Sprint or Verizon Wireless. We've updated our review to reflect this change, but it does not affect our rating. We continue to recommend the phone for GSM carriers like AT&T and T-Mobile."
Is anyone still using the Axon 7 on Verizon wireless?

Mine is working fine on Verizon for the most part. Had a few dropped calls and the text app is sometimes buggy. What APN settings is everyone using? Mine seems to switch between a few of the pre installed options. But after selecting "restore default" it seems to work fine. I have had a few people say I'm not receiving text, and it only happens with people on AT&T.
Great to know. I'm seriously thinking of it
Ok, just to confirm. You're using the Axon 7, on Verizon, for calls, downloads, data, everything without issue? Nice
Im on Verizon and trying 1 of my lines on project fi. I put my fi sim in my Verizon galaxy S7 EDGE and it worked on T-mobile only. So I'm thinking the Axon 7 might work on Verizon with 1 of their sims.
I am, everything works fine for me now. Keep in mind my Sim was already active. And the CDMA Sim will only work in slot 1.
Nano sim? Don't tempt me. Since I do Tech Support for Verizon, I've been itching to try this one.
