Verizon or unlocked

[TheMiz]

If I'm not mistaken. Visual voicemail, WiFi calling, HD voice.

What are you saying ?

 

[ThrowinRocks]

Unlocked models now have their own visual voice mail ..so that's a plus

Where? My son has an unlocked S10 and no VVM.

Sorry. I responded from my phone and it chooses how I respond apparently. I was just listing the 3 things I lost using the unlocked version.

CrapifIknow. I'm thinking about going back to iPhone if Google/Android can't start fixing simple things like Smart Lock and Storing my settings the way I want. Every time I open Chrome it sends me that Discover BS no matter how many times I turn it off in settings in the browser and in Phone settings. I have it set to a different Homepage but it removes it with that Discover. I know where and how to get my news and I don't need Google forcing down my throat

Who would be your provider ?

 

[ThrowinRocks]

VZW but where I live I have no choice because the others have no cellphone towers within my area. no AT&T, T-Mobile or Sprint will work here.

When you say that Unlocked models have their own visual voicemail, does it work seamlessly with Verizon service? Is it the same as the Verizon service?

My main concern with getting an Unlocked model is LOSING visual voicemail. I could care less about HD voice or wifi calling.

@bhatech do you have Verizon on your unlocked S10 ?

@bhatech do you have Verizon on your unlocked S10 ?

Yeah I have Verizon but no longer have the unlocked S10 in hand since sold it couple of weeks back in anticipation for Note 10 and trading in the pixel 3 now.

Most Verizon features like WiFi calling, VoLTE etc all work. Visual voice mail no idea since I'm not using any carrier voicemail features. I use Google voice. Even WiFi calling I don't use but it works.

You had the visual voicemail on yours ?

 

[LPRodgers]

You get everything except wifi calling, the vvm is in the phone dialer and not a separate app.

I use Google voice so never tried carrier voicemail

I can try once I get my unlocked Note 10 Wednesday.

Wrong WiFi calling works on unlocked model on Verizon from S10 series onwards.

Source I have used it on US unlocked S10 on Verizon.

Here's a screenshot of my Verizon S10+. You see the red voicemail icon? That's VZW VVM. The app is not baked in to the dialer but when you receive VVM's they popup as a notification and all you do is tap the notification and it opens VVM. When I go to the dialer and hold down the #1 it dials into voicemail and prompts for a password then you have to sit and wait and listen to every VM to be read to you. It will read the number that called then play the message.
If you open VVM by tapping the notification it goes straight to voicemail.
