Standalone SA 5G SIM for T-Mobile MVNO - OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers

I use Ultra Mobile, a T-Mobile MVNO/reseller, and 5G is working for the most part, but I am experiencing the same dropped calls, missed calls and SMS/MMS messages sometimes don't come in or out.
There is this from T-Mobile regarding SA 5G:
https://www.t-mobile.com/support/devices/latest-sim-for-great-network-experience
My question is if they have provided MVNO resellers with these SIM cards as well... If anyone has any knowledge of this, an update would be appreciated.
(And I have received the August ROM update enabling SA 5G.)
Thanks in advance!

Even with the new r15 sim card you will still face the same issues. I'm on T-Mobile and have the r15 sim cards and when in SA mode, I can't receive calls and outing calls only last 21 seconds before hanging up. Also, you can get SA while you have an older sim card as well as I was getting SA even with the older TM sim cards. Personally I force my main device op8 pro to use NSA 5G only instead of SA and my test device tmo op8 to SA 5G for testing. I'm sure at some point the mvno's will get updated sim cards, just don't expect it to fix all the issues. I believe the issues will be another update from OnePlus, unless it's network side that's the issue.

According to tmobile it should be fixed by 9/26.

ImDonly1, What is your source for this being fixed by 9/26? I have a T-Mobile OnePlus 8 with the "new" R15 sim and I'm still getting dropped calls and no service errors

Issues on T-Mobile

Recently purchased the Xperia Z5 (E6653) and I am having some serious issues with calls on T-Mobile USA.
Calls don't dial out (or it takes multiple tries) and calls won't come in when the phone is connected to 4g (LTE); they go straight to Voicemail. I missed about 12 phone calls yesterday - just getting voicemail after vaoicemail till I realized something was wrong on my side. If I toggle off the LTE it drops to Edge (no HSPA+) and calls come in fast and outgoing calls are made with no problem.
I tried to reset the phone, then repair the software with the Sony Companion app. Still same issue. Looked online for the APN settings. Tried various ones. Re-downloaded the Internet/MMS via the phone itself. Same issue. Tried my wife's sim and it was still doing the same. I have a spare 5s and it worked fine both incoming and outgoing calls. So, it doesn't seem like its the sim card.
I have Rev 2 of this phone so I am not sure if that is anything to be concerned about. Am I missing something...any help on this would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Maybe flash a T-mobile firmware with flashtool?
Or Flash 209 firmware meant for usa?
Or wait for someone here that use this phone on T-mobile.
Are you on band 12 LTE by chance
No, it said band 2 with LTE Discovery. I am on the verge of sending it back. Swap it for another one. Let's see.
From what I have gathered/read - it should really be straight forward. Pop in sim, load Internet settings, and it should work on T-Mobile. The APN settings are correct.
Doesn't makes sense for it to completely not work on 4g and go to 2G (Edge) while skipping 3g. I'm wondering if the baseband might just be wonky. I just see this as causing more problems down the road which I don't want from a $520 device.
Any advice is welcome because I am ordering the same phone again. Lemons are always possible.
Could it be possible because I live a relatively rural area (East TN) and the phone does not support AWS? Since it doesn't support T-Mobile VoLTE and doesn't have AWS it is defaulting to 2G? Is this an issue in all areas or just rural? Apparently the E6683 variant doesn't have this problem as it supports AWS.
Check this http://www.xperiablog.net/2015/10/07/usa-buyers-guide-sony-xperia-z5/
That means ur phone should work fine with T-mobile,maybe go and get a replacement from where you bought it.

Dropping calls on sim2

Hi everyone,
First post so be gentle
I got my dual sim honor 8 some months ago as I dont want to carry 2 phones around with me.
My personal sim and the phone are with Three UK and my work sim is with EE.
The three sim is in slot 1 and the EE simin slot 2 and I am finding the calls keep dropping for no reason on the EE sim. I can be in an area with full signal but when the call drops I cant dial out or receive calls. The phone goes to dial but just sits with the calling screen and then fails to connect.
After I have moved it works again, its generally happening in the same places too but places that shouldnt be an issue.
Whilst the sim 2 is in this condition I can still call out from sim 1 (Three) and this problem never occurs on sim 1 (Three).
I have tried swapping the sims over but the problem remains with the EE sim. I have tried to swap the 4g priority over but the Three sim is 3g only so wont work as the secondary sim.
I have spoken with my work IT and they have replaced the EE sim but this hasnt fixed it, I have called Three tech support who have reset this and reset that and run diagnostics and say nothing wrong with the handset.
Any ideas or any one else experienced this?
Many thanks
If it's from the EE sim card, then it's from them I believe

try only using EE sim in slot one and check whether issue persists?

Hi,
I have and they advise no fault, they have even replaced the sim card to rule this out.
Just try with a 3rd operator on both SIM slots: that will rule out hardware problems.
As for 3G/4G, operators use different bands, but you shouldn't have any problem.

eSIM/dual SIM on AT&T variant

Got my AT&T variant today. Doesn't look like eSIM funcationality is enabled. Second IMEI and eSIM shown but greyed out and no way to activate. Is this true? If so, does anyone know if unlocked version allows for eSIM use so you can get dual sim? I need dual SIM for both US (AT&T) and international travel (Singapore).
no dual sim on unlocked version either

Really? Why put the eSIM in if you're just going to disable it?
well that's a bummer. Hopefully someone will come up with some firmware or we'll see a country release the 4G version of the phone that will work in the US and support dual SIM. I do, however, use wifi calling a lot and right now the iPhone seems to be the only choice that can be AT&T wifi calling compatible and dual sim.
Thanks for letting me know - i also had an order for the unlocked variant that I will cancel.

Pixel 4/4XL unlocked versions (as well as bought thru AT&T) will do Wi-Fi calling and HD Voice on AT&T (sometimes requires a little work on your part to bug AT&T).
Also, I cannot find anyway to do Wi-Fi calling on the Flip, let alone HD Voice, though it is perfectly clear with calls I have made so far.
I bought the ATT version of the flip so getting wifi calling. I didn’t think Pixel 4 was dual sim? Before various bans, I had decent luck getting HD voice on Huwawei phones but never WiFi calling unless ATT firmware (or iPhone)

Typical AT&T treatment of BYOD with regards to Wi-Fi.
Pixel 4's are physical SIM and eSIM.
Basically you can (if you find a tech who can/will) provision the account with an IMEI that supports those features, and your SIM is current, it will/should work. My 4XL is currently set up like this (and previous Pixels as well).
Thx didn’t know about the pixel 4 - I did the same thing with IMEI numbers. I bought a cheap galaxy phone from ATT for the sole purpose of having an IMEI that shows ATT. It won’t help WiFi calling which needs firmware support but has consistently gotten HD voice to work. Hopefully a different variant of the flip will show up with dual sim support that can be used on the ATT network

Slightly off topic, but if you have a minute, could you post where the setting(s) for Wi-Fi calling actually are (if there is any), I'm curious to see if they are on mine (I can't find any as of yet).
Thanks.
It gave me the option to setup when I ran. Y hone setup. It’s all under connections in setting or you can search setting for WiFi calling. I believe this is only available with the ATT firmware

I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something obvious, and yes, seems its only on AT&T branded device(s).
On the unlocked version, I was able to access the hidden SIM manager menu using Activity Launcher and enable the second SIM. However, even after doing so, it doesn't seem that I can do much with it.
I saw same you can see it but it's not really enabling it (under about phone, esim is still greyed out). I bought a European Version of the phone that is supposed to have dual sim enabled and is arriving tomorrow - I will report back if I can add my AT&T plan to the eSIM and use my SG SIM card on the second line and how it works. Even if I get that to work, i will have to give up wifi calling (since not an AT&T variant of the phone) and usually - Samsung pay doesn't work (but usually google pay does). i will report back. Love the phone but without the ability to use 2 SIMs, it will sadly be doing back.

I thought that the Wi-Fi calling piece was becoming more universally supported, regardless of variant. I have the unlocked version and Verizon Wi-Fi calling (and HD calling) are both working.
Hi, I got one in Czech Republic and the dual sim (eSim/normal Sim) dual standby. the setting for eSIM are under Connections>>Sim card Manager, there should be a section with eSIMS and you select 'add mobile plan' (in CZ you scan the barcode of the eSIM thats provided by the operator). Wifi calling is in the phone app under call settings and can be activated for both sim 1 and sim 2 at the same time
I got the UK version of the phone. I have an AT&T phone number on an eSIM and have the eSIM card (with the QR code). I removed the plan from my old device (a Galaxy Fold Dual SIM I bought in Singapore that worked fine with both SIMS) and then tried to "add the plan" onto my new flip. I scanned the QR code and get the message "Your mobile plan is already being used on another device. For more information, contact your service provider.: I called AT&T and advanced tech support added the new IMEI's(both physical and eSIM) to that number on their end but still getting the error. They were at a loss for a solution. Any ideas on how to fix this? Really love the phone though useless to me without the ability to use an eSIM for my AT&T number.
BTW, yes to calls over LTE (VoLTE) with AT&T SIM on UK variant of the phone and, not surprisingly, no joy on Wifi Calling
You need a new QR code from ATT. If you are using an older QR code it wont work.
Are both SIMs 3G capable?

I gonna buy the UK model and so I can use both my personal and company numbers on one phone.
My company's number is nano sim and the supports 3G and 4G
My personal number is esim and supports 3G and 4G
Neither my personal nor company number network support 2G.
I read somewhere that while Z Flip is dual sim, one of the sims only support 2G. is that right? Can anyone confirm it?
went to AT&T store, moved my old esim (galaxy fold) to a physical sim, activated and tested on physical SIM then converted it again to eSIM (new QR code). Worked! Had trouble going from eSIM to eSIM but converting to physical SIM in the middle of the process (something I read on another forum) fixed it.

Question Verizon?

The g100/edge s are listed as no Verizon support, but I was wondering if anyone has tried. They have most of the Verizon 4g bands and 2 of the 5g bands
If anyone is curious about this I have not confirmed but I did find a post where someone tried on reddit. Everything worked except receiving texts. Verizon was unable to troubleshoot because the IMEI was not white listed in their system. After doing some reading this leads me to believe cdmaless needs to be programmed on the SIM prior to putting it in the g100/edge s and it may work. This would require a cdmaless "mule" phone to preprogram the sim prior to installation. If I can find a phone to borrow I may purchase one and give it a shot.
Same problem here. I love the g100, amazing phone especially for the price, but cannot receive texts and Verizon refuses to help with an "unsupported" phone, even though it supports all the bands necessary for operation. 4G works, calls work, and sending SMS and MMS work. I'm willing to try whatever ideas to get this going. Been riding off my old phone as a hotspot for the g100 lately.
ah nice to see I'm not the only one in this situation. You already pulled the trigger though! If you can find a whitelisted gsm phone to swap your sim into and reprogram first you might be up and running. I've been trying to find the cheapest mule to try this with. Will update if a come up with one.
I'm not sure I follow. Why would another phone make this one work?
And I guess what are the requirements of the other phone? I could probably convince a friend to let me swap if it'll work
I'm not 100% sure but I think the issue you are having is the way the line is provisioned. It is most likely set to use the old CDMA radios (the g100 does not have them). Verizon has a cdmaless provisioning setting to get around this, but they can/will only do it for CDMAless phones they have added to their white list (while having compatible 4g and one 5g band the g100 is not on the list). If you put your sim in a white listed CDMAless phone you can get the proper provisioning put on by Verizon before putting it in the g100. This should fix in bound text
Ooh very interesting. I did find stuff for 'cdmaless' in my search to get it working, but asking Verizon to add it yielded terrible results.
So it seems like the cheapest options for this might be the Moto E (2020) or the Moto G Power (2021). I might try to pick one up next week to see if this theory works.
nice! My brother has a s21 which I think will work. Trying to find one that doesn't take 2 months to get
So I ordered a G Power, swapped sim cards and it couldn't receive texts. Activated on the Verizon website, which needed to text me a verification code, hilarious.
Anyway, it added the feature
Code:
CDMA-LESS DEVICE PROVISIONING
to the sim, popped it back into the G100 and... it works!
Great suggestion, drock3260
So when I originally tried to get this to work on Verizon and they insisted that CDMA-less doesn't exist, well, I guess they lied.
So uh, does anyone want to borrow a G Power for 5 mins?

Thanks for posting about this! I am on V and strongly considering importing an Edge 20 Fusion. This thread gives me hope that it will actually work.
yeah according to kimovil it has compatible bands. If you are still thinking of pulling the trigger good luck.
What about MVNOs using Verizon towers? I plan to use US Mobile SuperLTE. Will text messages work?
It only has the one main 5g band so no I don't believe Verizon mvnos are gonna work. I didn't really care about 5g as there are few towers around me, but I have had great 4g coverage with text messaging
I can give you the best and most accurate answer. I live in America I have a moto g100 there's only one way to get this phone and that is to purchase it through Motorola USA one model option only and that's a blue Moto g100 with 8 gigs of RAM 128 gigs of memory model number xt2125-4 the name of the firmware is North American retail absolutely no bloatware because it's straight from the manufacturer not a cell phone carrier and for absolutely everything to work on the phone 4G 5G the only cell phone carrier that works on is the T-Mobile network. You can use it on the AT&t network but you're not going to get Wi-Fi calling or the 5G Network. It is a GSM only. Absolutely no CDMA nothing will work on the Verizon network. It is the only phone on the American market that dual SIM. It does have NFC. A dedicated Google Assistant button with the fingerprint scanner on the side. One issue though the North American retail will probably be the last one to receive Android 12 but because this is the United States the Android 12 version we get will be very stable
I recently got a Chinese 8/128 Edge S (XT2125-4), and 4G calls/data/sms all just work for me on Verizon.
I had previously activated my SIM card in a OnePlus 8 Pro. So in my case it was already set up for CDMA-less / LTE-only service, and I just had to move the SIM card over to the Edge S and it started working right away.
I've never noticed the phone say it was connected to 5G, but I'm not sure if I need a new sim card, or if there aren't any 5G towers in my area (or both.)

General Be careful messing with dual eSIM

I had to factory reset today (actually I used the Android Flash Tool just to make sure I had a totally clean slate). I was using my Boost (AT&T) pSIM with my Tello (T-Mobile) eSIM no problem but I installed the eSIM for the free T-Mobile Network Pass yesterday and it was acting weird. Kept losing data, sometimes I would lose both my Tello and T-Mobile eSIMs... It was very strange as I never have any issues with the phone so I swapped the T-Mobile eSIM for my Boost pSIM at which point Boost and Tello started working together perfectly again.
Well today I decided I wanted to see if the T-Mobile eSIM was working any better. I mean it should seeing how my Tello eSIM on the same network works fine. I tapped on the T-Mobile eSIM, it prompted me to turn off my Boost or Tello SIM, I told it to turn off Boost, and immediately I was right back to having data and signal issues. Went to turn my Boost pSIM back on and it was nowhere to be seen in the network settings. The phone acted like there was no SIM at all. Removed it, put it back in, rebooted the phone, reset network settings... Nothing would work. Even worse, when it was in, it knocked out the signal on my two eSIMs right after it got inserted each time. I freaked out thinking my SIM slot died, pulled out the Boost pSIM, stuck my old Tello pSIM in and... It popped right up. Put the Boost pSIM in my OnePlus 9 and it worked there so I knew at this point it was my phone but I thought that it could still be software. Ended up biting the bullet and restoring the stock .031 ROM (I was on the beta 3 QPR), stuck the pSIM in when the phone was at the home screen, and I was back to having both my Tello eSIM and my Boost pSIM again.
I don't know what was up with the T-Mobile eSIM but I removed it since I have no desire to mess around with this and have to reset again. This could have been a fluke or it could be a legit bug. Also, I forgot to mention, I tried disabling the T-Mobile eSIM when I was trying to get the Boost pSIM to be recognized again and the phone said that there was an error. Same when I tried to delete it. I had to reboot to get it to cooperate.
I would advise people wanting to mess with dual eSIM to be careful. This isn't the first glitch I've had with it. In fact the first time I enabled dual eSIM, Settings crashed, and I have gotten the error turning off an eSIM once before as well when I had US Mobile eSIM and Tello eSIM active and wanted to switch back to my SafeLink pSIM but that time it just took a reboot to fix it.
As for the T-Mobile eSIM issue, my guess is the phone didn't like two SIMs connected to the same network. It could be a modem limitation. On my 12 Pro Max I was able to use Tello on pSIM and T-Mobile on eSIM no problem but that could be a Qualcomm vs Samsung thing or it could be specific to dual eSIM. Like I said, I'm not willing to mess with it anymore. I had to do all this at my partner's house and I ended up losing everything on my phone besides what was backed up to the cloud by Google. It's not a huge deal as none of it was all that important but it's a pretty big inconvenience as I had about 50GB of stuff on there that I'll have to manually download and restore.

I mean I explained the whole sequence of events as they happened. Not much more that I can really do.
I was able to trigger this again. I was trying to see if I could get the QCI for my eSIM with Network Signal Guru so I told the phone to disable the pSIM and it disappeared again. Reinserting it didn't work. What did was turning off my eSIM and *then* reinserting the pSIM. Since I opted to go back to .031, this bug appears to be in both the release and beta versions.

I'm seeing very similar behavior with a physical sim and an e sim
I had planed to leave the pSim in the phone for calls/sms and using an eSim for data.
Data connection is "spotty" at best, if i don't see the same behavior and i just lose connection on both (both showing with a little x)
Even worse, my pSim isn't reachable randomly and only starts working again when i either start a call, or reboot the phone. (Seeing this as i'm getting a bunch of sms from my provider about missed calls)
(This is on a Pixel 7, i'm just adding the info here as for me with as a first time eSim user it feels very buggy)

Are both of them on the same network by chance? My phone seems to do fine with AT&T network pSIM and T-Mobile network eSIM or Verizon network eSIM and T-Mobile network eSIM but when it was dual T-Mobile eSIM, it freaked out. I have used dual SIM since I got the phone without any issue until I tried two from the same network.

Hi Ethereal,
I wasn't sure and checked, it's two different networks (two biggest networks we have here in Switzerland)
I can confirm this same bug still exists in the November update.
To trigger it all I have to do is have a pSIM and an eSIM active and then turn off the pSIM. It disappears from the list on the SIM screen and removing and re-inserting it doesn't re-enable it unless I disable the eSIM first.
You can see what I mean in this video. Once I turn off the pSIM, it disappears from the list of SIMs in the phone.

It may not be a "dual esim" problem, according to this thread, there may be issues with tello sim configurations even in physical format; https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/data-connectivity-major-problems.4519577/

No, it happens no matter what eSIM I have active. If I have an eSIM active and disable the pSIM, it disappears from the phone entirely.
Also, my Tello pSIM had issues but my Tello eSIM has been fine.

No. It happens with a Verizon eSIM too. It's definitely a bug. In fact I just tested a hunch and if I turn off the eSIM first, I can disable the pSIM without it disappearing, so it's something with the eSIM being active and the pSIM not that's the issue.
Hello. iPhone 13 Pro Max definitely supports two eSims from the same carrier but of diff number, whereas Android 13 can’t seem to do it. Maybe it’s because there is only one EID per phone, despite two IMEI? Thanks. Will December update fix this? Are we saying iOS is more superior? I am using TMobile network pass (3 months free) and T-Mobile grandfathered plan.

I haven't actually done further testing to confirm my suspicions so it's all a guess at this point. That said, the iPhone uses a Qualcomm modem and the Pixel uses Samsung, it wouldn't surprise me to find this to be one of the inherent differences between the two modems. I also can't see it being an issue for more than 99% of people as most run dual SIM to have different carriers.
I'm utilizing both physical sim and esim and it's marginal at best. Both numbers are T-Mobile, the physical sim struggles for connection at times it shouldn't and text/sms is hit and miss. I believe in part it's rcs that's problematic but not sure. Voicemail is another issue, depending which sim I have set for default is the one that receives voicemails. My previous phone was a note 20 ultra direct from Samsung and that had no such issues.

I have zero major issues using two different networks. I'm using Boost Mobile (AT&T network) pSIM and Tello (T-Mobile) eSIM just fine. It was only when I was using two T-Mobile that things went wacky.
Or if I turn off the pSIM in the settings instead of removing it... That causes it to disappear entirely from the phone. Really annoying.
Hopefully they can address these issues but even with them, I'm still pretty happy with my phone so far. Still much less buggy than the OnePlus 9 it replaced.
