I'm seriously considering buying the Oneplus 7 pro as my next phone. My carrier is Verizon (I can't change it, it's for work) I'm having some second thoughts after reading on these threads about the issues people are seeing with Verizon. I'm curious if anyone has activated the Oneplus 7 pro on verizon that is not having issues with things like not being able to receive calls from iphones and not getting text messages on a wifi connection. This will help me make my decision on if I will move forward with purchasing this phone. Thanks a lot!!!
I have been using the 7Pro with Verizon for about 3 weeks. I have had no issues with Verizon since day one. I think maybe the first couple of days when I received a call from an unknown number it would show restricted on the caller ID. That issue was resolved with the first update I received. As far as activating the phone with VZW, all I did was move my apps from old Galaxy S8+ and then go online to VZW's website and activate my 7Pro and deactivate my S8+. Everything worked from the start. I have been very happy with my 7Pro and VZW.

Almost everything was working with just a sim swap. Except, I wasn't able to receive incoming texts at all, wifi, or on LTE. My sim is on a business line, and a quick call to Verizon help by dialing 611, and let him know I needed CDMA-less provisioning and we activated it, and tested it, and no further issues. I do get VoLTE, but obviously no wifi calling thru Verizon.

Thanks alot for this really good to know. I think maybe a lot of these issues people were having have been resolved with a new update? I'm curious about any trick that makes it easy to move your apps over? I currently have a samsung galaxy S8 and it's been a long time since I switched phones so I don't remember how I did it

I actually used the OnePlus Switch app to move my apps and other files to my new 7Pro. It was rather easy to use. The only real issue I had after moving apps was I had to uninstall and reinstall a few apps because they would not load. Otherwise it was just having to log back in to everything and get everything the way I liked it.

Hey, I'm the one who put a thread together posting the aggregate information at the time for activating the OnePlus 6T on Verizon Prepaid :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/help/discussion-verizon-prepaid-oneplus-6t-t3864541
After successfully activating and using the OP6T on VZW prepaid, I simply popped my SIM into the 7Pro and everything worked fine. None of the issues you mentioned have occurred, in my experience.
You might simply put your current SIM into a 7Pro and see what happens. If you have problems, I'd recommend going to a CORPORATE Verizon store (not a franchise location) for help. They are much more savvy. Make sure that your account has CDMA-less and VoLTE active.
Good luck!

I'm Using mine on Verizon. So far the only issue I have had is visual voicemail. Since I have been on a custom ROM I think its fixed. I did have to call Verizon and have them do the CDMA less deal. I wasn't getting text messages. But it was quick fix. So far I'm liking it better than my pixel 2 XL
Thanks for this is red this is great news to me I have been holding off on buying the phone through OnePlus website. Wi-Fi calling is not really an issue for myself I don't think, forgive my ignorance I'm coming from Sprint where any outside phone you bring there is no way you can be on a call and data at the same time I forget what Verizon causes feature voice over data VOLTE? This is not a problem with Verizon and the OnePlus 7 I assume? Thanks

I had a 6T now the 7 Pro.
I'm not having any issues.
No issues here coming from the Pixel 3 XL. The OnePlus Switch app worked great and as it has been said previously, a few apps required that i uninstall, then reinstall them again to get them to work (maybe 2 out of 50). VOLTE works great and I typically have no issues. The only time I have ran into a problem is occasionally it will say I am connected to WiFi or LTE, but no data will transfer as if I am not connected. A quick reboot solves the issue, but it is not consistent enough to determine if it is an app, Verizon, or the phone itself. Happened maybe 3 times over the last 3 weeks. No Visual Voicemail is disappointing. Also, get a weird, jumbled text from Verizon after every Spam call I get. Will be getting on with Verizon support to see what that is about. Fingers crossed that Google will get it's stuff together with their RCS rollout and it makes it onto OnePlus devices. I can't really think of any deal breaker as far as bringing OP7P to Verizon. At least not for me. Will update if I can think of anything else.

Mms/sms: yes
But more importantly VoLTE does work
(Ie. Using mobile data during a call)
Used to be a big issue on custom or non VZW ROMs on VZW
Do you have to do anything to get your hotspot to work properly the reason I don't buy phones from Verizon is I'm on the grandfathered unlimited data plan meaning I don't get throttled after using a certain amount of data it's only $10 more a month than their so-called unlimited plan they have offer now. If I switch to a Verizon phone they will make me sign up with dere new data plan which only offers 30 gigabytes a month and I would burn through that inside of a couple days. So the reason I've been sticking with my HTC u12 plus is the native hotspot on this international phone works right out of the box since it's not Verizon limited software. I just wondered does your hotspot work flawlessly?

Hi there so how about your phone does it do the hotspot without issue? I know Verizon branded phones you have to have their newer program to use the hotspot and they limit you at 30gb I'm on that old grandfathered plan like I've been mentioning and on my HTC u12 Plus I can tether to my heart's content because it's not Verizon's software limiting my usage of the hotspot. If the 1917 International model of this phone has the native hotspot working I'm buying this thing tomorrow.

Yes, the hotspot works just fine. My wife and I use it every day when our kids want to use their tablets when we're away from wifi. Multiple devices connected to the hotspot doesn't seem to slow it down.
I am no longer on the grandfathered plan, i recently switched to the 'above unlimited'.
But the plan i was on before had no problems with hotspot on this phone, nor my 6T.
But it did track the amount of usage. If we'd go over certain GB it would throttle the speed.
I read on the forums here somewhere there might be a way (by editing build.prop iirc) to trick VZW from telling the difference between mobile data and mobile data+hotspot. Ie, reading hotspot as mobile data only so you can go over your GB cap. I tried it, there were a few lines that weren't the same on this phone, and my family switched to the new unlimited plan before i could test it out
(I was hesitant to switch from my arsenal of HTC phones, too... ?)
I been on Verizon since op7 pro came out, don't know about iphone calls because haven't had any 1 call me who had an iphone. Hotspot worked on stock rom and now on RRS rom. Also issue with visual voice mail but regular works, verizon asks you to make a pin managed on their app

Im in the same boat as you I need to uprage but have a grandfathered unlimited data plan. Seems like the 1plus7 is the phone to get as samsung phones are now locked. anyway have has it worked out for you? did you get a specific model for it to work with verizen? did you root your phone once you got it? Let me know if I can ask you more questions.

I have a galaxy S7 edge. looking to upgrade I would like to get the one plus 7 Mclaren.
I have the Unlimited data grandfathered plan and would like to keep enjoying the hotspot.
I think this is the phone I want but does it meet the criteria? If you have your on verizon can you answer these questons?
1.does the hotspot work without paying verizon a bribe every month?
2.I would like add blocking so rooting it,? does it break the bank apps or fingerprint scanner?
3.are all models able to get on verizon or do I need a specific model? if so which one?
4.does it have any bloat ware like samsung?

call verizon and ask if they will even add your meid to their database.
I talked to Verizon a while back and they insisted up and down that there was no way to add a smartphone manufactured after November 08 without a data plan. I didn't ask anything about phones from other providers so as not to arouse any suspicion.
Basically you just have to call in and see if you could trick them into activating the phone on their service. The IMEI gives the make and model of the phone away though, but perhaps they won't check.
That's a bit of a gamble to buy the phone not knowing if it will work. Going through a person instead of the site will probably get better results though! Hopefully someone here who has done this successfully will chime in
If I was to purchase a used g2x or g2 or even a sensation off Craigslist today, would it be worth it if I don't have a data plan and all I do have is txting and calling?
Not really, if your only texting and calling. But It's up to you if you really want it or not.
Sent from my Galaxy S Firefly 3.0
should i just stick with my iphone 3gs?
I would check first with your carrier to see if they will even let you activate a smart phone without a data plan. If so its really up to you. I have since upgraded to a HTC merge, but before that, and even now I have a touch pro 2 running android off the sd card. I can still use it on wifi even though its not activated. In your case you should be able to use most of the functions via wifi and text and minuets off your plan. Not a bad idea actually
I would check if your carrier would even allow you to activate a smart-phone without a data plan. Unfortunately, carriers in general will force you to have a data plan if you own a smart-phone.

That's a Tough question, like Everyone else basically said... it Depends on what your Satisfied being able to do!
I actually have Two Sprint Hero's. One Activated, and one Not. But
Anyways even though I can use the Unactivated phone with WiFi, Honestly its just Not the Same! It's kind of like having a Landline phone with a Cord... it only Reaches so Far! Lol!
I know it's a long shot but I am wondering if anybody had gotten unlocked model with unlimited data plan the old one not new one is able to tether with no limit. Just curious.
Hey, I have the old Verizon Unlimited Data plan. Yes, it will use Mobile Hotspot with no problem; you don’t even need Foxfi. Can't anyways with Nougat.

I second the poster above. I picked up the S8 unlocked vrn grandfathered udp today for the reason you are considering. Confirmed. It tethers no problem. Yes!
S8+ unlock works with grandfather unlimited data plan!!!
unlimited data plan. All I have to do is just press the hotspot bottom on the top menu and it turn on automatically.
Question for the other s8+ users in the same boat than me. Have you done the update and the hotspot still works for grandfather Verizon users.
I got an unlocked Model at Best Buy last week, so not a once Verizon then unlocked but started unlocked and it didn't do phone and data at same time, under any plan. Verizon even swapped Sims a few times with no improvement. I had to take it back with a $35 restock fee. BB and I are in discussions as after it was figured out Samsung suggested they swap it with a Verizon model and the sales guy chose not to. It appeared the software that lets the phone do proper VoLTE "Advanced Features" is not there and doesn't show up when you insert a Verizon Sim like expected. There is a VoLTE option that seems to do nothing however (under Verizon). There is no patch or update at this time to resolve. Was about to make a post about it in the root so others won't have same experience when I saw this one.

With unlocked phones, you should use an ACTIVE SIM, not a sim that isn't active. Since its unlocked, the IMEI number probably isn't in the Verizon data base, so an inactive sim can't help, but if you have an active sim (like I had/have), it will work. volte works, just no wifi calling or visual voicemail.

I agree that it should have but didn't. I used an active Straight Talk SIM (Verizon) no luck with talk and data together, then went to a Verizon corp store and they inserted an active sim to test and it still refused to do both data and talk at same time. Spent an hour and a half on phone with tech support first. They even conferenced Verizon who said the network was right and the phone/acct was provisioned.
I don't know if this is just the Best Buy batches or not. I think I will just try and get a Verizon phone that's been unlocked like my S5 I reverted back to. But information and suggestions are appreciated. I don't want to think that I returned a phone I could have gotten working, esp since the deal ended last week and they refused to sell me another for same price. But between the SIMs and going right to Verizon, I am not sure what else I could have done, unless the phone itself was bad.
Thanks

You don't even need unlocked version of S8+. Just flash the international firmware and you're good to go. No throttling on hotspot nor video.
I bought an S8+ at Best Buy last night ($150 off - Black Friday, whoohoo!) and was planning on rooting the hell out of it so that I would have my mobile hotspot on my grandfather UL plan. Didn't have to. The sucker just works.
That leads me to the obvious question: does Verizon know about it and will I be charged for it?

Wait is this confirmed that unlocked phones do not get throttled on video? I've wondered why I haven't gotten throttled but guessed it was because I'm still in contract for another year with my Unlimited Plan from 2011.

Not true. I'm grandfathered, but I do get throttled when watching 4k or 1080p 60 fps or 60fps or 1080 hdr (I think). The solution? A VPN. I bought Express VPN. It's 99 I think for a year, but I did ask for an additional 3 months, which is a promotion they had or have had before.

Guys...have a friend or family that has a VERIZON PHONE, put your sim and activate the SIM in a VERIZON PHONE. After the Nano sim is active, but in the Unlocked S8, S8 Plus or Note8. I've used my unlocked S8 Plus on Verizon without getting provisioned for tethering. I got a Note8 now, verizon model, but flashed U1 firmware. I still am able to tether....

So I want to get my hands on the new Oneplus 7Pro.
My only concern is, the Mobile Hotspot on this device. Does it come Carrier unlocked? I'm on Verizon & don't have it added to my plan. For example on my Nexus 6p I'm able to use the Mobile Hotspot feature to share my data with other devices. On my unlocked Google Pixel 2XL it tells me that I have to call my carrier to get this feature unlocked. Mind you this is not the Verizon Pixel 2XL. It's straight from Google. This is a hit & miss with unlocked phones that work on Verizon. Can anyone of you that have the Oneplus 7 Pro on the Verizon Network help with this matter?
Thanks!

May depend on your plan. I have a newer unlimited plan with tethering included. I don't have to mess with the provisioning setting. Only have to tweak the throttle.

My plan does not include Mobile Hotspot tethering
That being said. With my experience that doesn't matter, a lot depends on the device if the Hotspot feature is carrier unlocked. Examples, my Nexus 6p works fine. Pixel 2XL it prompts me to call my carrier to get that feature unlocked. Galaxy S10 again no a single problem using the hotspot. Granted all of these devices are Carrier unlocked & can be used with all US Major carriers.

I'm also on their grandfathered unlimited datada plan from years ago. Thank you guys so much. I'll be ordering my phone Asap. Did you guys have to contact Verizon customer service to get your line switched over to CDMA-LESS or no longer a problem? I heard that people with iPhones calling you is a problem as well. What can you tell me about that? Thanks guys. ??

Everything worked but I eventually had to call and do that CDMA less deal. I wasn't receiving text messages but everything else worked. Now all good
If it doesn't work, the only way without the provisioning setting is going to be something like pdanet

Works without it no root
My understanding was that the old unlimited plans were now getting throttled as well for speed. If that is the case you might look at the new unlimited plans feature for feature and see if it's less money.
We have a bunch of lines so we only pay $40 per line for the base unlimited.

I'm grandfathered into their true unlimited data plan, & I don't get throttled at all, I use well over 100GB of data on a monthly basis. That's why the hotspot feature is a big deal for me.

I had to do that as incoming texts would not come in.
You still have to have them add the cdma less feature. Even lte only iPhones from att work on Verizon now when you have that feature.
The calling problem between 1+and iPhone is fixed.
Hello I'm considering getting this phone. I researched and found that this phone model 1917 is the right one for Verizon it has all its LTE bands and I could give a **** about Wi-Fi calling or visual voicemail or video calling I have apps for that. My big question is about the hot spot for people using this phone on Verizon.
Do you have to do anything to get your hotspot to work properly the reason I don't buy phones from Verizon is I'm on the grandfathered unlimited data plan meaning I don't get throttled after using a certain amount of data it's only $10 more a month than their so-called unlimited plan offered now.
If I switch to a Verizon brand phone they will make me sign up with dere new data plan which only offers 30 gigabytes a month and I would burn through that inside of a couple days.
This is the reason I've been sticking with my HTC u12 plus. The native hotspot on this international phone works right out of the box since it's not Verizon limited software. I just wondered does the hotspot work flawlessly?

HI,
I have a 7 Pro but I am on the newest plans; Get More Unlimited.
I got rid of my grandfathered plan because there was no benefit for me and the new ones are cheaper.
There is a provisioning check on some phones. If you root you can bypass the check.
I have the original unlimited plan, like you, and hotspot worked just fine. It worked fine with T-Mobile firmware and global, so no worries at all.
No issues with Verizon hotspot here. Just got CDMA-less enabled on my line and haven't had any service issues whatsoever
