[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] LiquidHonesty:
THe article at https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/...-5g-us-network-bands-and-compatibility-guide/ says this:

Both the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro are fully certified for use on Verizon's network, and support all Verizon 4G bands, meaning bands 2, 4, 5, 13, and 66. Both phones also work on Verizon's legacy CDMA network. Unlike some older OnePlus devices like the 7 Pro and 6T, the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro are not CDMA-less on Verizon's network. CDMA bands BC0, 1, and 10 are all supported, and both phones are fully certified for Verizon's network.

But then this article says it still needs the CDMA-Less flag: https://www.phonearena.com/news/activate-unlocked-oneplus-8-pro-verizon-5g_id124004

I'm confused, maybe it'll bet better when the non-pro model launches with Verizon. Why would they put the CDMA radios needed to be CDMA-Less if it's not going to work CDMA-Less???

So bummed that my work account isn't allowed to be CDMA-Less......I don't have admin rights on the account and I doubt a VP at Marriott is going to get on the phone to bicker with them about it :(
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] joe1l:
On your old Oneplus 7 did you call and get CDMA-LESS enabled or did it just work by switching simcards? when I first inserted the SIM card into my friends OnePlus 7 pro I still had no SMS/Mms incoming. I had to physically call Verizon and have it enable it on my account. Only after i called VZ and had them enable cdma-less did it start receiving texts messages on the OnePlus 7. only then did I put the sim into my OnePlus 8 Pro and have luck. Ive also read that it worked for others without having to even call Verizon to enable cdma-less just swapping to a OnePlus 7/6 worked. it may all be dependent on the sim card itself. when i first research this issue in the OnePlus 7 forums, Many needed a new SIM carda to resolve their issues from Verizon. not sure why but it may be a factor.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] LeoLopezDO:
That's a great question. It's been a little while and honestly I can't remember
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Bourbondoc:
Same problem

2 days, 5 calls, 2 tier 2 techs, no luck. I'm coming from a Samsung S8. No one can seem to figure out activating CDMA-less for me. Any workarounds without an IMEI from an older oneplus? Really not wanting to have to return my phone...
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] LeoLopezDO:
I can confirm that the following works

I had a friend being over a OnePlus 7 pro. It was a T-Mobile variant but it did allow me to put my Verizon sim and use it. SMS was also broken similarly on his phone (could send, couldn't receive)

I called Verizon and explained to them what was going on and that I needed the account to be CDMA-less. The moment she was able to do that, all of my texts started pushing through to his phone in the OnePlus 7.

I switched the Verizon sim back to the OnePlus 8 pro... And everything now works! I can send/receive SMS/RCS. my visual voicemail is also now functional.

I'm going that come April 29, the IMEI issue is fixed... But in the mean time, if you have access to an old OnePlus 7 device, this does work.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] 21sirhc:
Great!!

Now I just need to find someone in northern Virginia who'd be willing let me borrow their old OnePlus device so I can activate CDMA-less.. how hard can that be? ??
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] LiquidHonesty:
FWIW, was finally able to get Verizon to enable CDMA-Less to my business line, I called instead of chatting and explained that the owner of the business account is currently furloughed, the guy was happy to help and enabled CDMA-Less on my phone so now I'm back to one phone, YAY!

But note, this is still on my OP7P as I haven't ordered the OP8P yet.....
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] kingpin119:
sounds like this same thing happened with the 7 and 7t. for those people that dealt with this before, was it the same situation where the phones came early and Verizon didn't add the IMEIs? if that's the case, were they added on release day?
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] pocholo36:
Hey guys. Just wanted to let everyone know. I had the same issue, was back and forth tweeting with Verizon all day and they finally got my incoming text working. Not sure what they did, but it seems they got it sorted out.

I did swap my SIM in and out of my old Pixel 3 XL, so maybe any other phone will work with the swap. They had me restart a few times, a few Network Restarts. I dunno. I do note that my recognized device on the Verizon website is now a mystery phone, but they got it activated and registered on the network for full services.

I encourage you to try!
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] bkrickles:
I like to hear this. I have a 4 xl and planned on ordering the 8 pro this Wednesday. Good luck with the new phone.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] kingpin119:
and you never had CDMA-less enabled on your line before? if not, this is huge news.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] pocholo36:
Enjoy man, this phone is a butter smooth beast. Hopefully they get that fix streamlined into their tech support for future OP8P owners.

No, never needed to have it toggled. Never even heard of it until this. Have only been with Verizon a few years. Yeah bro, huge news if they communicate well in-house about it. I let them know about CDMA-less option and also mentioned SMS through LTE. Had to repeat myself and encourage them to escalate it a few times, but after about the 6th tech on the Twitter DM, they figured it out.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Nochis:
Dou you know who you chat with? Thanks
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] kingpin119:
that's great news that they were able to get CDMA-less turned on. they must have somehow manually added the IMEI into their database. that's what the tech told me tonight they are trying to do. I've had a ticket open for 3 days now and they said another 24 hours they should have it fixed. I ain't gonna hold my breath though.

is WiFi calling working?
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] pocholo36:
Sorry man, they switched in and out on the Twitter DM. And they only use 3-letter initials for names.

Try to be patient. Mind you I was in chat with them for well over 8 hours just because I was busy yesterday and kept forgetting to check the DM. Something to consider is how short-staffed they are at the moment due to COVIND-19.

That's a negative for me, sir. I toggle it on, but as soon as I leave the 'Sim and Network' menu, I go back to check and it's toggled off. I also can't change the calling preference options within WiFi Calling setting.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] joe1l:
honestly i would not hold my breath that Verizon will get any OnePlus 8pro imei entered into the system properly till after April 29 as many many have asked with no result. What is more disconcerting is that OnePlus now has removed Verizon from 8 pro comparability spec online. The only good news is that people at TMobile are getting the same response from their tech support that imei is not showing in their system and will not until April 29.. same date as Verizon's OnePlus 8 pro variant is released. Fingers crossed April 29th is the magic day because otherwise this phone is excellent!!
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] ohlin5:
Wtf...seriously?? Why would they remove VZW compatibility note??
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] LiquidHonesty:
New details....looks like it might not be until June :(

https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/...doesnt-exactly-work-on-verizon-after-all-yet/
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] bkrickles:
Not great news but it says "the latest" June so maybe much sooner.

I want to order 1 on Wednesday so I'm really hoping it's sooner.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] pocholo36:
Was looking at my bill online ... Device overview looks like they just swapped my Pixel 3xl with the new 8pro. No phone image on Verizon website of course, but IMEI and device ID has changed. Maybe that has to do with how they were able to add it? Swap with an already active registered device?
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] bkrickles:
You're the one that's giving me hope as I have a 4xl with Verizon and want the 8 pro. I'm probably going to give it a shot on Wednesday and keep my fingers crossed [emoji1696].
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] pocholo36:
Haha, I'm living proof bro. Wish you the best. It may be the only way possible for now. Makes sense to me at least..
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] pocholo36:
More confirmation down in the comments that an activated Sim swap is probably what allows them to add device. Doesn't seem to be phone-dependent in my case. New Verizon accounts most likely won't be allowed until they fix it

[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Explosion85:
Some good news for all 8 Pro Verizon customers, not just owners of CDMA-Less devices.

The 8 and the 8 Pro are now listed as certified on Verizon's Open Development page. This change must have happened in the last 30 minutes.

https://opendevelopment.verizonwireless.com/device-showcase

At the time of this message, the OP8 and the OP8 Pro are the first devices in the list.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] daillcyruz:
Ok so I just called in this morning... Here are my details .obviously I have the SMS working fine everything else works fine. I am more curious about wifi calling working since this is an approved device now. My imei shows on Portal but doesn't say one plus . I have a ticket created to get it added to their device portal. Someone f your other responses have been discouraging though.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] bkrickles:
I just want to be clear.

Are you saying that now that Verizon shows the oneplus 8 pro as certified, that my device that I should have in the next couple of days, will now show up and everything will work without any of the tricks I've been reading about with other imei numbers?
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] spotmark:
Not yet. I'm chatting with tech support now.

Update - I got a tech who knew what we were dealing with. The first thing he had to do was add my IMEI to the VZW database. Once that was done he did the CDMA-Less provisioning and I am good to go.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] bkrickles:
That's great!

According to the Oneplus forums it appears this problem is getting fixed as we speak.

There have already been a few people who've called and their IMEI was already in the database so that's really good news.

I should have mine on Monday so now I'm getting excited.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] polo2883:
I dont think the device being approved will unlock wifi calling. The OnePlus 7 Pro was an approved device and wifi calling was not enabled.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] daillcyruz:
Ahh, got it! Well its not a be all end all issue with me for now.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Knossos:
After your success I decided to try my luck and Verizon support on Twitter was able to get my Oneplus 8 Pro going without much fuss.

Glad we didn't have to wait until June!
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Blueddit:
I called Verizon just now. Here's what happened:

- Called Tier 1

- There were no troubleshooting steps so he did "manual troubleshooting" which was just resetting network settings on my end which didn't work

- He said since there was no troubleshooting steps he couldn't get me to tier 2, but instead he submitted that he did troubleshooting for a different line on the account and forwarded me to tier 2

- Call dropped, I called back and explained what happened, back on hold to tier 2

- Once they answered, tier 2 immediately knew what to do and was able to activate CDMAless

So get to tier 2 tech support if you can and they'll be able to help.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] dispatcher2412:
When do you think they'll be adding RCS support for this phone on Verizon? I'm unable to get it working.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Nochis:
Actually I was able to do it. Make sure you have carrier services and latest Google messages. I had to wipe data on messaging app. After that I set up RCS.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] ct_tec313:
Does wifi calling work now that the phones are certified?
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] spotmark:
No.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] jascolli:
How about Verizon Visual Voicemail. Does it work?

Aside from bootloader unlocking, are there any advantages to getting the unlocked version vs the Verizon version. Trying to decide. Thx
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] spotmark:
I don't use their Visual Voicemail. I can't see paying for it when I get it for free with GV.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] jascolli:
Makes good sense. It comes with my plan provided by work otherwise I'd do the same. Thx
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] ct_tec313:
Well I'm going to keep that 1000 dollars in my pocket that's a deal breaker for me...thanks for the info though....
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Guyinlaca:
An idea for those who want Wi-Fi calling. Perhaps there will be a way to port the app/settings from the VZW OnePlus 8 UWB to the OnePlus 8 Pro.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] ct_tec313:
Could be if the one plus on Verizon has a bootloader that can be unlocked or it can be

rooted
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] jascolli:
Confirmed that Verizon Visual Voicemail working ?

Also, I turned off mobile data and was able to make a call on wifi. Not sure if that helps.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] bkrickles:
So I received my 8 pro yesterday (it's freakin beautiful) and did the full activation online in My Verizon.

Like everyone else (I think), everything was working except I was not receiving texts so I immediately opened up a live chat on my computer.

I told them what I needed and provided my imei without anyone asking and within 3 minutes I was golden.

The whole process took me less than 10 minutes.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] skinnytoo2:
What exactly did you tell them you needed? Does VVM work? Wifi calling? Or when you say "golden" are you just talking about text? Thanks
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] bkrickles:
I told the live chat person that I needed CDMA-less provisioning enabled and provided my imei.

I have regular voicemail, not vvm, and I don't believe wifi calling is possible on non verizon phones.

The point of my post was that I was able to get up and running with everything that's supposed to work in less than 10 minutes.

A week ago there were very few success stories with activation and now it's a moot point.

Good luck.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] jascolli:
VVM works fine for me. Also, when I shut off mobile data, I can still make calls when connected to my wifi.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] skinnytoo2:
That's good to know. How did you active?
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] jascolli:
I talked to level 2 support, they added my IMEI to the database and activated CDMA-less provisioning. Everything just worked after that.

They were aware of what to do.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] ct_tec313:
Are you sure wifi is working.....
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] jascolli:
I can test it for you. Let me know the steps and 8ll let you know.

I turned mobile data off and was able to make calls while connected to WiFi. Is that enough, or do I need to remove the Sim card to fully know. Sorry, I'm not super tech savvy.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] nathlynn22:
Does it say vowifi at the top of the screen? Do you have vowifi options in the sim settings
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] jascolli:
Thanks for the guidance. No I do not have voWFI in the status bar or any settings in the network section. I pulled the Sim out and was NOT able to make a call on WiFi only. I can confirm that VVM and voLTE do work though. Hope this helps.

I'm happy to help other Verizon folks test anything else if needed.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] nathlynn22:
I don't have Verizon I'm in the UK was just trying to help abit.

But no wifi calling wouldnt work without the sim not in.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] PerCompLLC:
So I just got my OP 8 Pro today. I'm on VZW. Popped the sim from my LG-V30 into the phone and... NOTHING. And Verizon cannot seem to figure it out yet. Does anyone know if I may need a new sim?

Update: As it turns out, the sim from my LG-V30 is not compatible with the OP 8 Pro. VZW is sending me a new sim. Wish I had known, cause now I have to wait... Oh well.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] spotmark:
Nothing, as in, at all, or just no incoming text messages? If it's just text messages, ask to be connected to Tier 2 support. Explain to them that you need to have your IMEI added to the database and have them activate CDMA-Less provisioning.

If it's a micro SIM that doesn't make sense. Mine started out as a mini SIM many phones ago. I then cut it to be a micro SIM when those came out, and it's still working with the 8 Pro. I would still take a crack with Tier 2 support doing what I posted above. The first tech I got tried to tell me it was my SIM as well, but I pressed on and it was fine.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Flapjack:
I honestly do not know why people use Verizon. I will never truly understand why I waited so long to switch (to T-Mobile). I guess I just thought "this is the way cell service is".
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] spotmark:
Well, if you live in New England, Verizon and AT&T are pretty much your only reliable providers.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Flapjack:
Then AT&T it would be!

I should've included that, though. I'm sure there plenty of places where Verizon makes more sense. I just know I was absolutely miserable with their business practices.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] ct_tec313:
I'm still not understanding why we can't have native wifi calling like TMobile. I'm never buying another OnePlus phone until this issue is resolved. If the pixel can get I dont see why onplus can't do the same
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] skinnytoo2:
OP makes a Verizon branded variant. They know nobody would by it if all of the features worked on their unlocked one. I'm sure big red has something to do with it.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] PerCompLLC:
No data at all... No phone calls, no nothing... Were you able to make calls when you switched sims (before you contacted VZW)? The rep did activate CDMA-Less Provisioning (or said that they did). The Verizon website (my account) did indeed see the device. However, I'm going to try again this morning.

Update - It just takes getting the right person on the call/chat. Tried again this morning and asked for Tier 2. Took them 5 minutes to get it sorted out. This phone is a BEAST!
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] spotmark:
Good job. Never go with, "your SIM isn't compatible", that's just a stock answer when they don't know what they're doing. Enjoy!
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] bkrickles:
Glad that it worked out for you.

When I got my 8 pro I called once and got frustrated and then did a live chat and I was taken care of in less than 5 minutes.

And yes, the phones pretty pretty pretty good.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] ct_tec313:
Using that same logic bro the unlocked pixel 4xl wouldn't be fully working in Verizons network. I will never buy a locked phone from Verizon. It won't happen.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] twelvevoltguy:
Ran into the same issues with no incoming SMS and no visual voicemail. Got with tech support and got those issues fixed but now finding that the Verizon call filter is not working. Called tech support again and they are finding that the system is blocking it from working on this phone. I have 5 lines, 4 Samsung, 1 Oneplus. The feature will work on the other 4 lines without issue. Anyone run into this yet and if so have you found a fix? I use this as a business line and the spam filter & caller ID is extremely handy to have.

TIA

Missing: Screenshot and Recording in menu.

I already forgive Samsung for not including AOD on this (I had a A50 before this phone) but not that feature? Did Samsung forget to add it in or this phone incapable of doing such feature?

[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Redflea:
I've got the new beta w/WIreGuard support.

Just to test it I created a simple task/profile that turn on my WireGuard tunnel when connected to Wi-Fi. The task runs when I connect to Wi-FI (profile name shows green, green arrow to task, and task notification appears in notification pull down) but the WireGuard app never opens the tunnel. I have external access enabled in the WireGuard app.

Anyone got this feature working, and have any recommendations?
