Will the OnePlus 3 work on Verizon?

So technically you could run a T-Mobile data sim and verizon voice?

Yes. I'm doing that very thing right now and have been for a week now. No issues.

Re: Verizon?

While I would agree, I DO have Verizon in the second sim card slot working with an AT&T sim in the first sim card slot. Set to data (card 1) and voice/SMS on Verizon card slot 2. And it works. With wifi off or on. No idea why.

I have made calls with my Verizon Sim in Slot 2 for Sim cards, and an At&t sim in slot 1. the number received on the other end for calls and SMS is the Verizon number in SIM slot 2. You can set it in settings that way. No idea why but i have tested it and it works

The phone supports Verizon's CDMA bands. Just not LTE. That's why it works.

I find this to be very interesting. Did you two have to activate it with Verizon? Also how do you remember to use one for data and one for voice/SMS?

I already had a Verizon sim as it is my main carrier. I just put my sim in. Under settings you can assign what sim handles what.

But why would you want to? The problem where I live is not failure to get tmobile or ATT calls. It is weak slow data or none at all except on major highways or in the city outdoors.

I keep vzw only to get dependable LTE.

In your area you may have bad coverage other than Verizon. In my area all three carriers have good coverage. So far my I have no issues using any of them.

Does that mean they're going to add the missing LTE bands?

 

[freddie_knapp]

is this still working? I just want a verizon sim for calls and texts when i am in rural areas. i would keep my TMO sim as my main service.

 

[jordans0nly]

Curious as well.

Until CDMA is done, yes. It is simply silly to not get that approval and make one SKU, but it's even worse to not have support for Verizon at all - that's the best network with a ton of users being ignored.

Most areas have bands 2 and 4 for LTE. Band 13 is the main band that's available everywhere, but band 4 is just as prevalent. I checked the bands my iPhone was using and its almost always on band 4. You just need to remember to turn on data roaming. There is also a way to turn band 13 on by rooting.

There are tutorials on XDA where they show you how to enable disabled bands on certain phones.
