Curious if anyone is using (or has tried) an unlocked (non-Verizon) Pixel or Pixel XL on Xfinity Mobile? Xfinity uses the Verizon network and the Verizon site says my phone is compatible. Xfinity doesn't officially support BYOD with Android phones but there seems to be some incidences of Android phones working. I am an Xfinity internet customer so I am eligible if I had a compatible phone. The savings would be significant over my current Consumer Cellular plan.

I've been running that for years. Have a Pixel XL and Xfinity at home. So I'm eligible to use the Xfinity app and it works for me all the time when I'm in a place that has such a signal.
It worked before on my Nexus 6 and 6P. I would go through your settings to make sure you have them set right. Good Luck.

You misunderstood the question. I was asking if anyone was using Xfinity Mobile wireless service with a Pixel XL. XM uses the Verizon network for calls and cellular data and (I believe) switches to an Xfinity hotspot if one is in range. Xfinity does not officially support BYOD for Android phones but there people claiming to be using it with their own Android device.

Normally CDMA will not work on GSM, namely T-Mobile.
However I was told the Verizon Google Pixel will work on T-Mobile.
Is that correct or incorrect. Thank You

It is correct that the Verizon Pixel will work on T-Mobile.
Verizon 4g devices are GSM unlocked

The US versions of the Pixel from Verizon or Google are the same except for the Verizon model having a locked bootloader. They will work with any US carrier.
Will work.
Has anyone flashed generic Pixel XL with factory image meant for "Telstra, Rogers, TMO, Sprint, USCC, Project Fi"? I have a Pixel XL that I got from Google at the time and using it on Rogers Canada. My phone drops LTE to 3G every time I get a phone call (no VoLTE) despite "Enhanced 4G LTE Mode" being enabled. I heard unless my Pixel was purchased from Rogers, I won't get VoLTE. I though flashing the carrier specific image would allow VoLTE, but I'm not sure if hardware is compatible.

Hardware is identical. Don't know if it will solve your issue but you certainly should use your carrier specific version.
Well, I decided to try it. Flashed all good, now running Oreo, but VoLTE still MIA

Bought a couple of days ago, struggle to get Xfinity 4G work. The sim shows Verizon I guess Xfinity lease Verizon network. The voice and text works if no pic, video. The data completely doesn't work on 4G and 3G. Google the issue, seems if carrier is Verizon, it could fix by contact Verizon. However I am on Xfinity, and Xfinity only support one Android phone which is Samsung, any suggestion? Tons of thanks!
How did you add the phone to your account?
I switched devices in my Verizon account, put in the IMEI and was all set. You need HD Voice and CDMA less features
I use another phone to get Xfinity then insert the sim to 7T
Unfortunately unless Xfinity can add the "cdma-less" flag your service wont work right. I'm using usmobile.com (I actually ordered a sim card from them knowing their support staff have the software setup to actually set that flag..)
As far as I know it's Verizon postpaid, Verizon prepaid, usmobile and I think one other mnvo? I'm sure in the coming 6 months or so other mnvo will add support too.
contact Xfinity, was told the feature is not available. Now I am thinking either return 7T and wait OP 8 release or switch to US mobile for a couple of months.
Hi all, I did have a look through the forum but couldn’t find a tread that could answer my question.
Basically, I’m going to the USA for a family wedding and was hoping to pick up the pixel 3a xl to use on the UK. Would the pixel be compatible in terms of 4g data speeds or would the frequency but limited and only get 3g?
Many thanks

You should be able to check the bands devices in the USA support and compare them to devices in the UK. If it helps, I'm pretty sure my 3a xl is a US Verizon model and it works flawlessly in Australia.

I've got mine in the USA, and it works without issues in Europe. I have 4g, though it says LTE instead, but it works, I get speeds up to 400 Mbps. Main question is which 4g bands your Telecom provider uses, if it doesn't use same bands you could have issues, but you can change radio band in *#*#4636#*#* menu. I didn't have to, it works automatically.
You'll have to buy charger adapter for UK though, because they only have models with US chargers, but they are dirt cheap there (I got mine for under 1 euro)...

Thank you very much for the information. I will look into the bands used by network operators in the UK.
anyone who bought Pixel 6P unlocked from Google store and using with at&t, are you getting 5G?
my wife's iPhone 12 gets 5G but Pixel is only showing 5GE which is just LTE. there is no network selection options too.

I have att and bought from Google, but don't have an actual 5G plan, but shows 5Ge. I need to contact them about upgrading plans to see what they could possibly offer me, if anything good at all.
