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.

A few months ago I bought a T-Mobile Note 3 on Craigslist, unlocked it, and started using Net10 (a prepaid MVNO carrier on AT&T's network).
Today, I decided to look up the IMEI of this phone for no reason at all, and saw that it was blocked on T-Mobile. T-Mobile's website said it was reported lost. However, it works on AT&T networks.
So my question is, even though it's blocked on T-Mobile, will this phone work on MVNOs using T-Mobile's network? For example, Solavei, Simple Mobile, or even Net10 (they have a T-Mobile option too).
Most likely no. It will just be a matter of time that the phone will be on the data base and the phone will be blocked. I believe all US carrier share one blacklist database.
It will eventually get black listed call tmobile and pitch a fit I did and they removed the imei from their blacklist the person never paid off the phone
Just wondering if it works on all carriers or should I wait for the unlocked version ? Thanks.

I have a vzw line. Popped in vzw sim. Then popped in my tmo sim. Data and calls work. Speed was faster on tmo sim though.

mine works well but i cant get video or any of the tmobile **** like that to work
I just picked up a Verizon S8+ (i had a T-Mobile one but just returned it) and i popped a T-Mobile SIM Card in it and i got a message saying "This is not a Verizon Wireless SIM Card" and it wouldn't let me use it. I thought it was supposed to be unlocked??
It is unlocked. After swapping Sims the only change you got to make is change preffered network mode from LTE/CDMA to LTE/GSM oh and go to APN and choose your new sim card apn. And thats it. Ive tried all carriers on my Verizon S8+ with no problems

What probably will not work on any carrier phone other than TMobile will be WiFi calling when using TM SIM.
Hey! I need to know if I buy a s8+ in Verizon, I will can use in Chile with my local carrier? I can read that you don't have problems changing the carrier in USA, will be the same if I use the phone with a Chilean Sim? Thanks!
I have a Verizon S8+ on AT&T unlimited service and it works perfectly. So you'll be good for Tmo as well. I have no clue about Sprint tho.
I have a Verizon S8+ on att and it works great. Does anyone know if I get HD Voice with this combination ?
Verizon unlocked S8 plus on T-Mobile working flawlessly for me
Verizon unlocked and works very well in France on the Orange network.
When I got my VZW S8+ I popped in my tmo sim first thing. It worked flawlessly out of the box. I didnt even have to add any APN settings as all of the tmo settings were built in. Awesome job sammy!
What about video call ect I'm having issues getting that **** to work is u pres *#77467# it says false on all the **** why won't the ims register that controls all that
I have an issue with s8+ using AT&T sim. The issue is that the phone shows a plus sign in front of my all incoming calls treating them as international calls. Does anyone know the solution?
The phones are completely unlocked, what you need to do is look up the VPN settings that T-mobile, or at&t use for their phones and set them accordingly. Though some functions might not work with non-Verizon carriers through changing these functions. (messages, video calling, etc..)
Thank you all. I bought the s8+ from Verizon out right because I wasnt sure if I was going to stick with them. And it looks like I am moving to t-Mobile this month, I was going to look into flashing the firmware, but I was worried since I used Samsung pay like crazy. So I am fine with just disabling the verizon apps and going from there.
Anyone know if the phone will still get updates if I swap in a T-Mobile SIM, or a Verizon-compatible one from Straight Talk while still on the VZW firmware?

It will if you use the VZW software update assistant. I've done 2 updates this way on my Verizon S8+ with my tmo sim in there. Works fine.

Sounds good. Do you know of the Verizon phone has all the bands of the T-Mobile version?
Fully work - no. Things like HD calling and wifi calling wont work without t-mobile software.
Hello everyone, Just would like to know if anyone tried to activate their Pixel 3 XL eSim on T-Mobile? If it's possible, do I need to have a physical sim from a different carrier? Will eSim work overseas when roaming? Thanks

I was able to activate my esim on tmobile when people were going through the 'back door' method of not ever mentioning that they want to activate the esim. There has been threads on Reddit that they are no longer allowing that and that customer service is catching on and no longer allowing activations of esim on tmobile.
You do not need another physical sim from another carrier as your phone will work fine with just tmobile esim. Having that physical sim available will allow you to pretty much go with any other secondary carrier that you want to (just can't use both at once)
As far as the overseas when roaming, that I have to defer to as I don't (or haven't) traveled overseas yet. I would 'imagine' that it would work just as if you had a physical sim in your phone as many European carriers already use esim and is not a new technology over in the European countries.

Did you notice any difference in the signal reception? Is it the same as the physical sim, better or no different? Thanks

I haven't noticed any difference in signal.
After 5 or 6 times trying using different methods (Twitter, FB, app/site chat, etc.), I finally convinced a rep to activate my eSIM a couple of days ago. It does take some massaging to get them to agree to it. Most of the time I was told there wasn’t a way to activate on postpaid. In the end, I experienced faster loading times on sites and faster downloads my video and podcast apps.
I purchased a Verizon Galaxy Note 10+ 5g from ebay last year to use for Total Wireless. Well the phone wasnt compatible with Total Wireless at the time and I had to switch to Verizon prepaid. Now the phone is compatible but I cant add APN's to the device because Verizon has greyed out the option. I bought a US Mobile Sim card so I can switch all of our phones over since it is cheaper and is a Verizon MVNO, but I cant get everything to work on my note 10+ 5g. I was able to download an app that let me add APN's and the LTE comes up but now I cant get VoLTE to work. Its turned on but when I make a phone call, it switches to 1x. This is a problem since Verizon is doing away with their CDMA Network. I have spoken to Verizon, US Mobile, and Samsung with no help. My other Note 8 will work just fine when I put the US Mobile Sim card in and my Samsung a71 5g wont work at all and wont let me add APN's even with the app.
I have been doing research and found out about SamKEY and bought some credits to change the CSC from VZW to XAA. I was in the process and it gave a warning about locking the SEC so I decided to do more research before I screwed something up.
The phone is unlocked but for some reason, Verizon phones have these issues with a Verizon MVNO. I can add the TMO sim card from US Mobile and it will allow me to edit the APN's without an issue but I get zero coverage here so I cant use it. So how can I change the CSC to get VoLTE working on a Verizon MVNO? Or can I even change the CSC on this phone? I am so sick of Verizon phones but Im afraid to buy an unlocked phone since It doesnt support all of Verizon's bands.

IDK about unlocking an US device. I prefer unlocked devices.
US unlocked versions of Samsung devices are called "U1". It's part of the model number/name.
E.g. SM-G981U is the US locked Samsung Galaxy S20 5g (like for Verizon), and the SM-G981U1 is the US unlocked version of the same device.

Thanks for the reply. I ended up selling the phone and buying a Google Pixel 4 XL. Saved some money and its unlocked. Ill never buy another Verizon Edition of the phone again.
Around October of 2021...I purchased a brand new UNLOCKED leftover Google Pixel 3XL, Model G013C
FCC ID: A4RG013C
It list's all the supported radio band's to include for both GSM and CDMA, etc...
I had been using it on AT&T Postpaid without any issues...for a few months but then I purchased an iPhone and did use it for a while but then recently decided to activate the phone again on Cricket wireless...the phone worked without any issues, making calls and sending text messages, etc...
But then, AT&T reallocated their 3G bandwidth and although my phone still worked on their network, 4G LTE...they sent me a text message and said my phone wasn't able to work on their network... Even though it did work, they shut my phone service off.
Now, what's ironic, is that my Cricket phone, which is a Motorola G Play (2021) which is NOT a 5G phone, does continue to work on Cricket.
Please compare, as I did, the Motorola G Play 2021, model XT 2093-1 which does continue to work on Cricket wireless, to my Google Pixel 3XL Model number G013C. (UNLOCKED) from Google.
There is absolutely no reason for my Pixel not to work on Cricket.
