Verizon Note 8 on Cricket - Has anyone done this?

I bought a Verizon Note 8 which are factory unlocked and simply put my cricket sim inside and changed the APN settings to what the Cricket website recommends. However I'm have issues getting LTE Service and voice quality in general.
Has anyone every encountered this with the new galaxy devices on cricket? Should I look to flash the unlocked or ATT firmware to fix this?
Thanks in advance!

I would try the unlocked firmware and do a factory reset.

I just bought a Verizon Note 8 off craigslist. Works fine w/ my Cricket service. Didn't have to fiddle w/ APN settings either. I got LTE. I don't like the stock Verizon ROM however, I'm gonna put either the SM-N950U1 stock rom or a custom ROM.

Will a Verizon Note 8 work if you put a SIM card from cricket in?

I used a Verizon s8 plus on at&t for months. Flashed the unlocked firmware and had zero problems

I realize this is an old thread, but I also have a VZW Note8 being used on the Cricket network. I flashed the U1 firmware, which workds great, but calls are handled over H+, data over LTE. Cricket/AT&T is sunsetting their 3G network beginning 2020, so this will cause issues with my calls. Does anyone know, is there a firmware I can flash to enable VoLTE over the Cricket network?

Verizon Note 8 running on Cricket
Cricket wireless ran smoothly and fast, but I don't like Verizon bloatware. Flashed it with a SM-N950U1 bloatware free and reinstalled Cricket sim card and no problems, but one a cracked screen that still works.:good:

Yup it works
only problem is update to pie made free wifi tethering go away. Haven't figured out how to get it back yet. My LTE and voice work fine, also my APN settings happened automatically. Maybe delete the APN you created and let it do what it does. I'm so not an expert, but mine works fine.

I had Verizon Nougat on my Note8 originally... Using it on Cricket. I switched it to the unlocked carrier Oreo ROM several months ago. Wifi tethering worked. I upgraded to Pie last night using Smart Switch on my PC. It upgraded my Note8 to the unlocked carrier Pie ROM. Wifi tethering still working for me.

Any chance Verizon mobile hotstpot won't work on unlocked S9?

I've never had an unlocked phone. My S6 is Verizon and they blocked Pdanet/foxfi. So, I thought I wanted to go unlocked, especially if there is less carrier bloat. But now I'm hearing that wifi calling won't work (I can live without that), and some people think mobile hotspot might not work. Is that possible?

It should work fine! I had the Note 8 (unlocked), S8+ (unlocked), and the S8 (unlocked). Hotspot worked great on all three!

What about Verizon Visual Voicemail? Will that work, and can you download it to the phone, or does it do it automatically?

I could never get visual voicemail to work on my unlocked S7.

Good to know. I'm coming form samsung S8. I ended up buying the European version so I could root. Roger's locks the samsung down.

The only thing i'm disappointed with is that Fido did not provision it for video calling. I spoke to the tech department and was told Google will be rolling out an update to fix that and RCS because the phone is not reading what features the plan has.
Then I was told that video calling over the network is not capable because the phone comes preloaded with DUO which it does not. So I don't know what to believe but I would like for them to provision it for the video calling so I don't have to use my data.

I unlocked and rooted mine on Telus.

i am with bell Canada and have a google store unlocked pixel 3 xl. turns out bell retards only allow bell sold phones to work with WiFi calling. has someone found a way around this?
it also seems this functionality only works in Canada! has anyone tried using a vpn connection to Canada to be able to use this functionality?
reason why i am so interested is my work takes me where there is no cell coverage and having WiFi calling would be great!
thanks

I doubt it to be honest. You can try talking with tech support and see. But unless it's registered as sold in their database it might not be able to

Still doesn't make any sence, all they require is google pixel 3... No where does it say bell issued. It's carrier unlocked so why would it make any sence they give partial access to what is offered to the phones sold by bell... And yes I talked to them no one knows why and they rather loose a client than change it. . They are idiots!

Have you tried calling bell to see if they'd connect it for you? I did that with Telus with my new non Telus 3XL, and they were able to make the WiFi calling work.

AT&T Wireless Calling

This will determine if I buy this phone, have been eyeing OnePlus 7 for a few months but haven't seen anybody attempt to use wifi calling on AT&T Network.

I just got me an AT&T sim, and wifi calling and all other features such as texting works fine.

Has anyone heard if the oneplus 7t will have voice over LTE on AT&T they dont play nice with unlocked phones and hold back features like volte and wifi calling if its not At&T branded.

Everything works great, including call forwarding codes etc. This phone is basically a turd on Verizon, no wifi calling, and no texting. My plan is to give the AT&T pay as you go plan a 2 month trial, I will forward my VZW phone to it, and put it through the paces, if all works out, I will get rid of VZW and move to At&t.

I found out, while you can enable Wifi calling on AT&T, it does not actually work when there is no network. OnePlus support says that plan on fixing it on a future update. It does however work on Google Fi.

wifi tether working? ( Verizon gUDP)

I am still on the Verizon grandfather in the new data plan. Rely on Wi-Fi tether quite a bit.
Has anyone gotten it working yet on this phone?

Anyone?

same way as 7 pro

Meaning? I'm coming from a pixel 2 where it was disabled

Is this phone definitely working on Verizon now?

Verizon data doesn't work, but voice and text works. Speak to OP cs, suggest contact Verizon. I am actually xfinity user, xfinity lease Verizon network, my 7t shows "Verizon".

It's working for me, Verizon gUDP

/system/product/etc/apns-conf.xml go to that find your carrier and enter that apn if rooted. theres other ways too but that's best
