Thanks, I am on ATT network but I don't have a 5G plan. I heard as of now 5G network is not much better than 4LTE.
For At&t its not. And it drains battery because of spotty connectivity. In my area its horrible it bounces between 5Ge and 5G. I installed Samsung band selection app so I'm only using Lte to keep it from constantly struggling to find 5G

That's what I thought. I wonder should I get a N986U or N9860. N986U only comes in 128 or 512 and no white. N9860 comes in 256 but only work with 4G in US.
These are n9860 bands

So who uses the sm-n9860 here on a US carrier network? Do the basics of wifi calling and volte work out of the box.? They do on my sm-n985F

Yeah don't listen to this guy. The F model is exynos correct? That means no Tmobile software.
The F model you bought might be region locked so it may not work in the USA right now without unlocking it. I know there have been other threads about this not sure if a solution has been found or not.

i have the 955FD model and it works just fine with T-Mobile USA. did you call T-Mobile to ensure your account is provisioned for LTE access? (I assume you're in the USA). where did you purchase your 955F model S8+?

Hey Cortez. Good to hear this as I have the FD as well. Bought it on eBay from a trusted seller and it is region unlocked. I have LTE provisioned. So...i have "4G" and not 4G+ although I have seen both. What do you show and what band are you on?

4G = LTE. Go to SETTINGS>ABOUT PHONE>STATUS>SIM CARD STATUS and you should see LTE under Mobile network type. that's how i determine LTE access... there's also an app name LTE Discovery that can be used to determine which band you're using. by the way, i believe 4G+ is LTE-A, or carrier aggregation, which is faster than standard LTE..

If it drops to H/H+ then you don't have VoLTE. If it stays 4G then you have VoLTE.

Wouldn't matter on band support. VOLTE should work on all supported LTE bands for T-Mobile. If it drops to H then that means there is not VOLTE support for T-Mobile.

It should be using the Tmobile csc to get Volte support..
I have US and international version, US version supports Volta same sim not supporting in international version... Problem is due to the Csc configured to the international version won't support Tmobile Volta..
Unless we have success in flashing tmobile Csc it won't work same as WiFi calling

whoops lol. Forgot if F or FD variants of the S8+ uses Exynos 8895, and U.S. models use Snapdragon 835.
Will they support T-Mobile LTE band 71
Yea, I'm 99% sure. Since it will have Snapdragon 845 like the Galaxy S9- that supports b71. We should also see VoLTE and WiFi calling like in all other OnePlus phones.

Like how @holz75 mentioned, check the spec in Oneplus website.
Does anyone know if it will support dual VoLTE standby for 2 sims?
This is from OnePlus website. Click on the Check Carrier Compatability link
Came here to ask a similar question. Now that the details and specs have all been released... I've always had carrier phones, currently with Tmobile. Using the op6 in north america(florida) will this phone get the same kind of reception and network speeds as a carrier branded phone would, like an s9 or lg bought from a tmobile store?
Thanks

It should be very comparable. 4x4 MIMO, with 256 QAM and cat 16 LTE. I'm in North Florida too and the OP5 had good reception here.
Anyone tested to see if we can connect to band 71 on T-Mobile
http://www.spectrumgateway.com/600-mhz-spectrum#phones
T-mobile Band 71. One plus 6 listed.
Everything related to Band 71 from Tmobile is listed here.

I'm in PA but I can tell you my wife has an s9+ and although her reception is fine, mines better on the op6 on metro (which is T-Mobile). As for band 71, I don't have much of that deployed near me but I've used most other bands listed on oneplus' website so I think it'll work fine.

4g is finebut 5g is non existent lol

Exactly the same experience.
Though I read elsewhere on this forum that 5g doesn't work on this device outside HK regardless of whether you are in a location with the right 5G bands.
I actually had an aTT 5g version but need dual sim. Got 5G everywhere (more like filling in dead zones gaps where I used to have no signal). It was great. If carriers enable esim like apple devices do on their networks I will switch back immediately, as the carrier models have 2 imeis
The other disadvantage is that these seem to get the slowest updates.

Yeah, The hongkong variant 5g Wont work in the us because Hongkong doesnt share the same 5g band The us do. But it does work in The uk and some parts of europe and ofcourse in hongkong. 4G is all i need personally but is the 4g fast for you?

you need to downgrade to TGM version of the firmware using Odin and 5G will work again from the SIM2 slot only!

Hello everyone,
Anyone here can share your experience with Verizon on this phone?
I'm with ATT and signal not very good in my area,,i'm sure doesn't have to do with phone since it was always crappy signal where i'm at Gig Harbor WA. Also does anyone with Verizon used ESIM dual phone numbers with this Galaxy Z FOLD 2 enabled?
Thanks in advance! LOVE THE PHONE!
I am using it on Verizon. I have no problems so far, though I have been using it for less than 24 hours. I am getting about the same clarity as I had with my previous fold. Over all it is good. I have had a few blips of poor wireless connectivity in my house, but it might be the phone just connecting to new networks.

Philadelphia. Allot of cities should have 5G deployed already. Just not mmWaves. 5G UW is low bandwidth. 5G UWB is mmWaves. If I got them correctly.
5g UWB is already available on Fold 2 out of the box. I assume you mean low band 5g. For that you need to wait for firmware update to enable low band 5g from Verizon

What does that mean? Are you using an unlocked 8T on AT&T in the US, and you are positive you have 5G access? How do you know this? Do you have a setting that nobody else has to be able to select 5G as a default? Your statement is lacking at best.

BOZO!
In case any of you are unaware, all unlocked phones will be useless after 02/02/2022 on AT&T with the 3G shutdown.
I'm actually waiting to see the lawsuits happen...haha
Much of att "5g" is actually LTE-A (4g). They branded it "5Ge" the same way they branded their 3.5G (hsdpa+) network as "4g" when everyone else started rolling out LTE. since the 8T is not updated by att the icons won't be changed like they did with older phones that got "upgraded" to "5g" by changing icons in a software update. (I have a friend that is certain his galaxy s9 is 5g after att pushed an update)
How do I test it? Do I need a full signal to do so. Speedtest.net? What speed am I looking for.
I have a Google fi in the other sim slot and it reads 5G and would like to compare if I can get a little guidance.
Thanks
