I know that the international model is supported in India. (Airtel and Vodafone)
But I'm thinking of importing this phone from China. They have a different kind of network some TD-WCDMA which is not supported in India. Will the Chinese model work in Indian 3G? I've asked around the OPO forums and nobody seems to know. I've messaged their support team but they haven't replied. Any ideas about this?
So far, I've read that maybe the Czech T-Mo firmware works for VoLTE in the US. Can anyone confirm this? Or any of the other T-Mobile firmware options? I'm guessing wifi calling is a pipe dream....
I'm really looking for a T-Mo firmware that allows VoLTE on US T-Mo from a country with Samsung Pay active. Any leads?
This may seem silly because OnePlus Nord is sold in UK as well so there is no need to buy it from India. But there is a bit of a price difference that makes it around £80 cheaper to buy in India and I can purchase it there when I visit soon (all precautions taken during travel of course, given the current situation). So with that said, will the Indian version work in UK? Will it be compatible with the networks here? Is there any downsides? I guess I can expect VoLTE to not work as per another thread. Is that it?
Otherwise, I shall avoid being such a cheapskate and buy it from UK!
India version has all bands needed to work in UK. Specifically band n78 for 5G that is currently used by UK operators. Volte , yes will depend but there should be ways to make it work. Flashing EU build may be one option.
Hi,
I bought my pixel 4a in the USA last month and now that I am back to europe, I noticed that carrier aggregation is not working.
I found on google that on previous pixels, carrier aggregation only works for the region on where you bough the phone... so now, I am stuck with single band connection.
Is there any way to force enable LTE+/4G+ carrier aggregation / CA2 in Europe for an USA, unlocked model?
I don't have root... but I would root it if that means enabling that feature globally.
in Germany LTE+ is working out of the box. no root

Do you have the USA model and not the one released for EU?
And are you running Android 11?
I tried it in Portugal, UK, Spain and France on Vodafone and I couldn't get any 4G+ connectivity.
In the US I had no issues with LTE+ at all, only when I came back to europe.
eu model, android 11 stock

Resting Wi_Fi, mobile & Bluetooth...............or factory reset doesn't work I assume.
Maybe try this:

Thanks, but I am talking about using the US version in EU. The EU version will naturally work in EU.

I was hoping more for some mod perhaps.
I have checked that my phone is only connecting to one band, without aggregation.
It worked fine in the usa, but not in europe, so most likely, they lock it on the oem.
The bands are supported. I have B1,B3,B7,B20 available on my network, and they are all supported individually, but not aggregated.
It does look like the North American model is the G025J, and the European model is the G025N.
I do wonder if getting carrier aggregation working might require some special registration with the carrier though.
It doesn't require carrier registration. I have 3 sims and they all do 4g+ on my old galaxy note 8.
Pixel 3 had the same issue. They block carrier aggregation outside the region on where you bought the product, at the OEM level.
Maybe some dev knows how to unlock it on the software. I've see this for other brands.
Interested on picking up the chinese version for cheap and want to know if it supports volte in the US, like on Tmobile or other carriers and for that matter does the global version support volte or vowifi in the states?
