Do you ever see a day when VZW will ditch CDMA and start using GSM? I hate not being able to use my phone with another carrier. I also don't see any real advantages to CDMA. Any thoughts or opinions on if you see this happening?

Verizon will switch from CDMA to GSM, probably never. CDMA is very well suited for covering long distances with a minimal number of towers. Therefore, CDMA is the best platform for countries with large land masses. CDMA is more secure, and the phones are more energy efficient. Also, CDMA phones produce far less EMI.
If you really need the international roaming, there are Verizon phones with global capabilities. Or switch to T-Mobile or AT&T, and deal with that headache.

I would love to see verizon ditch CDMA for GSM! Its a pain to have accumulated phones that I will not be able to use once I switch to a GSM provider. The problem is that it doesn't seem like there is any incentive for Verizon to WANT to switch from CDMA
CDMA is better than gsm in some ways and gsm is better than CDMA in some ways I prefer cdma

Verizon already has been rolling out LTE, is it not just a matter of time before they start to put all services onto that? I would think that at some point Verizon just won't need CDMA anymore.

Nope its CDMA at a higher frequency to allow faster speeds. How do you think these little companies do it like cspire? They can do it for cheap on CDMA

LTE is based on GSM technology. On current Verizon LTE phones, CDMA is used for voice and texting (and data when there's no LTE), but data (when there is LTE) goes over LTE. That's why you guys have SIM cards in your CDMA devices.
What verizon is planning to do is abandon CDMA for completely LTE phones in the future. What this means is voice, texting, and data will go over LTE, similar to VoIP. It's called VoLTE, which means Voice over LTE.

It's actually at a lower frequency than their CDMA bands. 700mhz band. Lower frequency has better wall penetration. Frequency has nothing to do with bandwidth either.

I know for a fact that lte runs on CDMA at cspire it may be different but there isn't no sim on cspire phones and they couldn't afford to upgrade all there towers with gsm anyway so is there different kinds of lte?

GSM doesn't just mean SIM card. LTE uses GSM protocols. Sprint is the same as CSpire; no SIM card slot. However there's a chip that emulates a SIM card inside the phone. It's probably the same case for CSpire users. The HTC One on Sprint has a SIM card slot though. So does the iPhone 5.

Well, if a phone supports LTE, it doesn't necessarily mean it can do GSM. For example, the HTC Rezound and most newer phones on Verizon do GSM, but only because the phone happens to support it because the chipset is designed for global roaming. But the Galaxy Nexus on Verizon, for example, doesn't do GSM even though it can do LTE.
There was a guy who took the Photon Q on Sprint (the Motorola slider), unsoldered the chip that pretends to be a SIM card, and soldered on a SIM card reader. He was able to use normal SIM cards in his Photon Q afterwards.
don't some CMDA phones have sims though?

Ahh, ok. nice to know. Going to attempt to get my D3 on USA ATT this weekend. I hope it works as I really don't want to shell out money for a new phone. I like my D3
There going to leave CDMA eventually but not for GSM. There is a new form of LTE they will eventually adopt because its backwards compatable with the original LTE . Than they can pull all of there cdma and older lte equipment along with the 1x stuff that has been phased out and removed as it dies.
I dont see all of this happening for another 4-5years for the full switchover though and its posable they may leave cdma in some markets to help coverage as it seems some areas LTE just eats it.

AT&T uses a few different LTE bands. 4, 17, and I believe 2 and 5 in some markets. Of those, the 1+1 supports 4 and 17. It's possible you live in an area that AT&T uses 2 and/or 5 primarily, and any signal from 4 and/or 17 is weak or non-existent.
att uses band 17 more than anything, followed by 4. they recently started using band 2 in december, but only in areas that already use band 17.

I am on AT&T in the US. I'd like to get the 6GB version. I haven't seen that it is being offered in the US. Anyone know if it will?
Assuming it will, ifs there any specific reason to purchase the US model over the international version? I would like to have a phone that will work on both Verizon and AT&T, as I may change carriers.
Any advice?
The Mate 9 will not work on Verizon nor Sprint. Its a GSM phone which means AT&T and Tmobile
If you're changing, then consider T-Mobile!
Not sure you guys realize Verizon uses SIM cards now too on some phones. Pixel XL is a sim card phone that was sold exclusively for a min through verizon, my friends have Nexus 6P on Verizon network. Sprint also uses a nano SIM on all their iPhones. Now the bands they support maybe different from a US version to a International.

Yes, if you get a variant of the Mate 9 that supports Verizon's LTE bands it will likely work for LTE. However it will not support 3G, 1X, or voice (which are CDMA). The Pixel and Nexus 6P include CDMA support, which the Mate 9 does not.

The Kirin 960 natively supports CDMA. But whether or not it gets certified for use in the US in the Mate 9 is yet to be seen.
This is killing me. I'm on Sprint, I want this phone. I keep hearing multiple different things. I want to order an international one to have ordered one by the end of the year. I see multiple models (MHA-AL00 and MHA-L29) hoping something will work with CDMA (Sprint)
They likely won't bother supporting all the right frequencies unless VZ or Sprint brands the phone, which seems even less likely... VZ has been using sims since LTE rolled out but that isn't really the problem.
If you're on a AT&T or T-Mobile then who cares about the US model... The only benefit is that eventually there will be cheaper used phones in the US after 6+ months.
I have a MHA-AL00 (6gb, 128gb) from China and wish I had an AL29 as the Chinese support on unlocking the boot loader is terrible (e.g., I cannot get a code). AL29 is supported by one of the apps and also I believe local Huawei offices. Installing google play thankfully is not a problem but I'd be careful nonetheless on the AL00.

Verizon and Sprint only use SIM cards for international use, they had to use/include GSM in order for their phones to roam outside the US.
Being in the US I'm thinking about buying a foreign OnePlus 7 (nonPro) and trying to get it onto Verizon's network. It looks from the specs that it supports the same network bands as the 6T & 7 Pro & if Verizon doesn't allow it to connect I could call and just tell them it's a 6T or 7 Pro and see if they'll let it connect ?*. Idk it's a big risk to buy a phone and not know if it's going to be compatible with my preferred network.
Anyone know if it will work or know of any non-pro OnePlus 7s on Verizon's network yet?
Thanks!

Not sure your source on why you think it has the same bands, because it doesn't. But, it may still work on Verizon if they'll allow it.

Sorry, same CDMA bands and very similar overall.
This is from PhoneArena.
Note that the 7 doesn't have band 13 which is the backbone of VZ.
Here is a detailed breakdown of the 4G LTE bands that Verizon uses:
Band 2 (1900MHz): this is a band that Verizon is actively transitioning from 2G/3G for use for LTE. It is currently a supplementary carrier that brings more capacity to the network and is commonly deployed in 10x10 chunks.
Band 4 (1700/2100MHz): Verizon has solid amounts of these bands that it deploys in larger, 20x20MHz blocks in many markets.
Band 5 (850MHz): it is a band that Verizon is still using for 2G/3G services in some markets, while for others, it is using this band for LTE. Verizon holds a lot of this spectrum nationwide and usually deploys it in 10x10 blocks.
Band 13*(700MHz): this is the backbone of the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network. Verizon has this rolled out to most markets across the nation, but since it is usually deployed in rather small 10x10 chunks, it could become congested fairly easily.
Band 66 (1700/2100MHz): this is a superset of band 4 (meaning that it has all the frequencies of band 4, plus a few additional blocks). It is usually deployed in small chunks and it not available everywhere.
.......
I have T-mobile & the 6T I'm using has the bands the 7 is without. I'm not sacrificing that to hope it works.
OP stated that the 7 Pro is for North America, & someone thought they may break & release the 7, but there has been no news on that.
My suggestion, just as I did... Don't bother. I won't sacrifice important frequencies for a few more specs. Not worth it.

For TMo, it's only missing 66 and 71. Sure it'd be nice to have these, but the iPhone 7 or prior don't have these, and the iPhone X doesn't even have 71 (but finally got 66) Heck, the Xs was the first iPhone to have 71.
Although it's region specific, mean where you live can have a dramatic impact, most of the US will be fine without 66 and 77 on TMobile.

I think it just depends where you are. I have a friend who before he upgraded his phone had an S6 or 7 & I had my 6T. When we both traveled for work, I'd be getting service with T-mobile and he wouldn't.
Aside from testing it, or maybe checking the below where you live, it's a guess.
https://specmap.sequence-omega.net/#
Me personally, my 6T is still going strong, & the wife is happy with her S10 (since I couldn't get her the OnePlus 7) It has all the bands my 6T has, & she still uses the 3.5 jack, so it was a win win. And for the $565 I spent, she was happy.

I definitely wouldn't upgrade to a 7 if you have a 6T- it's such a minor upgrade. But yes, the bands completely depend where you live.

I guess if someone wants to try with Verizon, give it a shot. Just make sure you buy it from a place with easy returns.

Honestly, $469.99 (Red color) plus ~$13 for insurance for the 7 non-pro from GearBest doesn't sound bad (no taxes and free shipping to boot). I may buy it pretty soon and give it a shot on verizon, especially cuz my iPhone XR annoys the hell out of me. I bought the 6 non-T a little while back and almost immediately returned it because my family switched to Verizon the week I bought it. They were very good about the return, so I'm not too worried. Only monies lost was the cost of insurance. Like other replies, I have definitely seen that it does support band 13, so I don't see why it wouldn't work. Only 4G band it looks like it doesn't support is 66, which I hear is not used too much. I'll let ya know if I do try it.

This site is a godsend.
OnePlus 7 pro has all Verizon bands, oneplus 7 is only missing band 66. Which is why I also think it should work, but I would prefer to have proof before doing it myself
OnePlus 7 pro is so big, heavy, and I am not a huge fan of curved edges. I might wait to see if they actually do come out with 't' versions of both and see what they look like, and if they are marketed to the US
Odd we haven't seen many posts of people actually testing them in the US. It's also odd that Verizon appears to have more available bands than T-mobile. 71 is important for my area, so the 7 is a no go. Interested to see when someone tests it on Verizon.
