Unlocked on T-Mobile vs Verizon?

[Beth Hahn]

So I have the unlocked version of the s20+ currently running on Verizon. Everything is working great like volte, wifi calling, etc. but I'm thinking about switching to TMobile. Just curious if all those things will work on T-Mobile as well. If I switch the the note20 I'll be getting unlocked version again.

Yeah tmobile has all them working


Edit: tmobile doesn't have the toggle for volte, but pretty sure it has volte on unlocked model

Yes everything works as it should with T-Mobile including advanced messaging.

Just to add, I bought an unlocked Sprint-model S20+ (it looks like each carrier gets their own specific model), and as soon as I fired it up with my TMo SIM, it loaded up all the TMo-specific software and runs as a native TMo phone. When booting, I even get the pink TMo splash screen and jingle.

Coming from other unlocked phones which sometimes work "generically" on the network, I haven't always had that level of integration even if the advanced network features all work fine from a connectivity/services standpoint.

On phone with TMo support now and they are saying eSim is active.

That's exactly how on Samsung sim unlocked phone should work .

Did they tell you how to activate? That's the one thing I'm interested in Samsung adding so that I won't always have to carry multiple phones.

@Mustang, Yes I agree, though this was my first experience with this seamless/transparent process...I've spent 20 minutes getting the TMo to provision the IP settings and such for unlocked phones in the past! (Granted these were true unlocked Nokias without direct carrier support, but I was only familiar with the ability to do generic unlocking for "access" but not the network apps)
