Just want to verify this phone works appropriately with Verizon. I see nothing on this from Verizon's website and nothing more than a few mentions in press releases. Does the lte-a work correctly? Can we access Verizon features like video calling? Does Verizon staff give you problems trying to register the phone?
Can't wait to hear some first hand experience.
wondering the same thing actually

Looks good enough for me. I'm about to order one from clove, will update when it gets here if this thread still needs some answers. I hope volte works. Wifi calling would be a cherry on top.
Yup! Having it working on my XZ2 Compact. Didn't originally want to connect, so I flashed the OEM+OEM_Other.sin files from the US version and now I have Verizon working without a hitch. VoLTE is enabled for Verizon by default since it can only connect over LTE to begin with, but no WiFi calling. That being said and it being a dual SIM device, my secondary T-Mobile SIM has access to neither VoLTE or WiFi Calling. So I have calling set up for Verizon and Data over T-Mobile. You're able to do dual LTE standby on this device.
So now that this works with Verizon I should be able to buy the duel sim version and run both my personal At&t sim and my Verizon work sim card in this phone with duel standby? No flashing any software?

Does flashing these have any affect on DRM keys and such? I'm going to be getting a H813, but with UK software from clove so I'll need to do the same thing I'm guessing.

Are the frequency's for both of these phones the same? Only difference would be that one is duel sim and the other isnt correct?

I believe so. H8324 is the Asian dual SIM and H8314 is the Western single sim. I wasn't checking all the bands but both phones have all three of Verizon's LTE bands supported

Just ordered the duel sim version and should have it by Wednesday. I currently have both an At&t personal phone and a Verizon work phone. Plan is to combine them both in this duel sim phone and only have to carry one haha. If it doesnt work out for whatever reason il just try google voice for my work number i suppose.

Having some issues with my XZ2 Compact Duel sim. With At&t I am only getting H and H+ connection and Verizon I cant seem to get anything to work. What APN did you pick for your Verizon sim, i have choices of CBS, FOTA, IMS and Internet.
So I have some more information that may help someone or may not. After talking with Verizon in depth about my issue with connecting to their service they have determined that the XZ2 Compact will not work on their service. Even with it being labeled as an Certified Open Market device on their own site and even being listed as Verizon Compatible on Bestbuys site and many others. They said noone there has any knowledge of the device coming to Verizon at all and were confused about it being posted on all the sites as being Certified. So i suppose it just wont be compatible lol. I guess im porting my 2nd # over to at&t and just not dealing with it because im sure as heck not going through the hassle of sending this phone and the chargers and cases back lol. If anyone has any success on getting this connected with Verizon please post, but im not hopeful lol.

I love Verizon but I was actually thinking of going to AT&T myself tired of Verizon having such a limited phone selection. However there is a post in this thread by the name of themoveforward or something who claims he got this working on verizon you may want to try his methods before making the switch

I tried sending him a message but haven't heard back. I'm assuming perhaps he was mistaken about what phone this post was referring to.
I believe carol_vzw is a Verizon employee who maintains this list: https://community.verizonwireless.com/docs/DOC-2843
The H8314 is listed on here as officially supported, but H8324(dual SIM) is not. You could try messaging her on there to see if they can add the H8324, or find out why it's not compatible.
Edit: looks like you've already seen this based on the comments

Yea the crazy thing is while talking to Verizon support yesterday i referenced that post and also Bestbuy having it labeled as for Verizon as well as the phone being posted on their Showcase directly on the Verizon site lol. The support guy kept putting me on hold and said he was taking the info as I was giving it to him to another support team directly and that they were all baffled at this information as none of them had any knowledge of this phone let alone it supposedly being compatible with Verizon at all. After about an hour into the call a woman picked up the phone and directed me to attempt to put my new sim card (when i swapped to this phone i had a micro-sim from my old phone not a nano-sim which this phone needs) directly into someone elses phone that has Verizon and attempt to activate the sim card on their phone, then attempt to reinsert it back into my phone to see if the network picked up. I will be attempting this in about an hour when I see a friend who has Verizon. I will update on whether this works or not.

If its any hope, I had a similar situation when I was trying to activate my Nexus 5x on Verizon. The people in the store didn't know that it existed and had no instructions on what to do. Also my first nano SIM phone, and they couldn't get it to activate. That's when I learned to never go to their stores for technical help. But it was worth it that time because they let me keep the sim card and later I was able to get someone on their tech support number who was able to activate it remotely. It could just be that the phone is new and information hasn't gotten around internally. Verizon seems pretty bad about that.
My xz2c single sim package got lost on Wednesday by DHL ? but I'm going to be dealing with this soon
Well no luck trying to activate the Sim with another Verizon phone. It seems that the phone just isn't in the Verizon system yet.
I have a UK single sim that I'm having no service with Verizon. Not sure if it's due to the phone being from the UK or something else with Verizon maybe. Trying to flash the US firmware but having problems with Newflasher.
If I have any luck I'll post back here.
Just posting for others who may be curious; I was able to get the phone working on Verizon today. Using the sim from an already activated pixel 2 initially worked for data and calling, and sending text messages, but I could not receive text messages. I grabbed an updated sim (says 4G LTE on it) and activated it on the pixel 2, then moved it to the xz2c and currently have everything working. It's only been a few hours so we'll see if it stays like this or if it goes the way of the htc U11 and has problems every couple of weeks. I'm using the verizon approved H8314 single sim model, not the dual sim model.
Interesting, thanks for the update! I'm using an activated sim from my Pixel 2 as well. It says 4G LTE on the sim too and my model xz2 compact is the same H8314. So maybe it is the UK firmware in my case, I'm going to keep trying to figure out my drivers issue this weekend to flash US firmware and see if that helps.
So I switched from a ATT S9+ to the (Unlocked) Note 10+ and have had the most horrible reception on ATT. I was wondering if it's happening to anyone else? I spoke with the ATT advanced tech team and she told me that because it's not the ATT Note 10+ that it's not configured for their network. Is this true? She then help me set up a new APN which was the same as before she just added hipri to the apn type. Is anyone else having this same issue or know what's going on? I need to know before I convince myself to return this one for a ATT Note 10+.
1. did you try to check and see if there's a software update?
2. try to turn off phone and turn back on
i using unlocked note10+ on verizon prepaid no problem.
i also have a freedomp simcard, it uses the att network, it showing the same 3 bar signals like my toy iphone8 at my house
I also use unlocked dual SIM 975F on ATT. It works but I feel like the speed is slow but ironically, when I compared to a '5G' iPhone on ATT I got faster speeds - go figure. I'm trying to get them to enable voLTE . I believe we miss band 30!which is used in cities. The trade off is worth it though, for me to have dual SIM.

Yea I have the latest software. I have the N75U1. The whole reason why I got unlocked is because of bloatware and also so I'll be able to unlock and root the phone once that feature becomes available. So hopefully I made the right decision.

If you bought the N975U1, then it's already carrier unlocked.
If you mean unlock the bootloader, that will never happen. And there's about a 99.9% chance it will never be rooted.

The N975U, the N975U1, and the N975W (Canadian) are all exactly the same hardware and you can cross flash hardware between them.

Thank you for that info that's all I needed to know because what the att advanced tech team said was that the att note 10 was specifically for their network including hardware so I was thinking it had something this unlocked version didnt.

LOL. Nope same exact device, just different firmware.
I bought the unlocked too. I really needed wifi calling since my ATT service is poor at my house. Once I flashed the ATT firmware (including ATT User Data file) I got wifi calling, VoLTE, HD Voice, Visual Voice all back. My calls are 100% better. Before flashing I sounded muffled to the people who I called & calls were dropping. Now they are crystal clear & no drops. I mainly got the unlocked for the Trade in value on my Note 9. Totally worth it.

Disclaimer: You do this at your own risk! Read & re-read the details! I am not responsible if you brick your phone
Now, all that being said, it was actually an easy process but I searched and read and read and re-read before trying anything.
I got the firmware & most importantly for AT&T, the UserData file from this thread (Read the entire Post (maybe 2 or 3 times), it's very informative:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10+/how-to/n975u-n975u1-firmware-links-t3957648
I followed the instructions from this S10 thread See POST #5 & substituted the N975U file Wording when they listed the file names for the S10 firmware:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s10/help/samsung-s10-unlocked-phone-att-firmware-t3912973
NOTE I used a patched version of ODIN from this thread (and not the version linked to in the S10 discussion thread above):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/patched-odin-3-13-1-t3762572
Lastly, I am using my old Note 9 AT&T SIM Card. From what I've read, at any given time, AT$T can update their system and your IMEI might not correspond to their ATT specific list and apparently you can lose functionality. I've been fine for a week and others have been flashing unlocked phones with ATT firmware for years so I'll take my chances.
Good Luck!

Use the patched version of Odin.
Turn the phone off and press and hold the power,up and down volume buttons at the same time.
Let go once the download screen appears.
Go ahead and put all the files in the correct spot..AB to AN ,BL to BL and so on.
Once complete just start the flash and that's it. Leave the att sim in the phone through the whole process.
Done...

I have.
I'm not sure if the ATT file took.
I know I lost my apps/customizations...which I was expecting since I used the home-csc file.
Also my GMAIL app is not right, its missing the ability to set the frequency of SYNCs, which I had with the stock Gapps.
The 4g variant is supposed to have esim yet I do not see anything in the settings to allow adding a new service.. Any clue about esim functionality?
I do not believe the U.S. version of the Galaxy Fold supports dual-sim; it only has one sim and it uses a nano-sim. Have you called AT&T to find out if there is in fact eSim support?
It definitely has an esim, you can see it imei in about phone.
Edit* That said i don't know how to use it.

To activate it you would need to call your carrier and provide the eSim IMEI number to them. The phone may support eSim but AT&T itself might not. I'd like to know though if they do coz' that's the only reason why I haven't purchased that phone yet. Other specs I read mentions both eSim and Nano Sim and calls it "Dual Sim" but for some reason for the Folds Best Buy and AT&T only labels it as "Single Sim". Samsungs USA website does the same thing but their international sites identifies the phone as eSim and Nano sim capable.
I believe all Fold LTE versions has the same hardware and only difference are carrier supported features.

I know they don't plan on releasing the 5G version in the U.S. and only the LTE version but you are probably correct with your statement. The U.S. LTE version could be the same as the ones they are releasing across the world and supports dual sim but AT&T might not just support it. I guess will know for sure when someone calls AT&T's support and attempts to enable the eSim feature. I personally got mixed answers from reps at the stores as they are not too familiar with the Fold's feature yet. If it was a cheap phone I'd probably still try and take my chances but for a $2,000 phone I'd like to know for sure first that I can use the eSim and Nano sim on it and have two lines running before buying one.
We got our answer! Published just hours ago at PCMag: https://sea.pcmag.com/smartphones/34287/samsung-galaxy-fold
"The Samsung Galaxy Fold is available unlocked directly from Samsung Experience stores and some Best Buy locations, as well as locked to AT&T from some carrier stores. It works on all US networks and supports LTE bands 2/4/5/7/12/13/14/25/26/30/38/41/66/71. There's a nano SIM slot as well as an eSIM, though Samsung states the eSIM is only compatible with European carriers at this time"

It won't hurt nor will it mess up your phone to try. T-mobile supports eSim for both postpaid and prepaid customers, Verizon supports it for postpaid, and AT&T (I believe) supports it for both prepaid and postpaid too. But since AT&T carries the Fold there may be a chance that it won't work with them. All they need is the IMEI of the eSim chip anyway, and all you need to do is provide it to them. If their systems accepts it then good but if not then you simply just continue using your nano sim.

Looks like you didn't understand the thread or didn't read the PCMag article. The quote was accurate because it was referring to the U.S. version of the phone. You bought the U.K. version and that indeed is a dual-sim phone.
I actually personally verified that at a Best Buy store in the U.S. When I checked the network settings the eSim feature is grayed out. It is showing an IMEI but is grayed out and cannot be activate. I also got to touch the Singapore version which is a dual sim version like yours and that didn't have the eSim grayed out.

Still wrongnIt's being software blocked on the att variant if you Odin flash a different firmware it works and many ppl have it running like att on reg sim and TMobile on esim there's even a whole tutorial on how to do it which I posted in a thread I created. Also if the phones didn't have esim there wouldn't be a esim IMEI in the about phone . American carriers are just greedy money hungry leeches.

Well the article doesn't market to techies but normal people that would be buying the phone so it referred to the facts and facts are never wrong.
But I agree with you, the hardware is there and they are just greedy to not allow the eSim to be used. Where is that thread you said you created because I've been researching that method for quite sometime now and didn't find any? I don't even know a single person that has successfully flashed it and even went to Asian cellphone stores that does phone repairs and they couldn't flash the fold. I would love to read that thread if what you're saying is true.

LoL! Just what I thought. That thread you said that you started with full instructions on how to do it was started just yesterday after we asked for it. Furthermore, the link you said didn't show any flashing instructions, and worse, I couldn't find the "many people" you claimed have done it on that Reddit post. In fact, "many people" have claimed what I said that the AT&T versions/U.S. Fold versions does not support eSim functionality.

I didn't say the many people were in that thread. The instructions I was referring to were the actually activating the esim once you have the options available. And I said off jump out the box att doesn't (although 2 ppl did say it was active out the box for them) but if you flash it should open it up. And I didn't time frame when I made the post. I did make it before I seen this thread. But in either way the time it was made is irrelevant. All I was saying was that I had made one.

Do you know if there is any change in the eSIM information for the F900U units in the US? Some conflicting information. Not sure, if flashing unlocked firmware enables it.
hello, anyone flashed the international firmware & got the e-SIM option rolling?
Anybody used Dual SIM Tray (bought on Amazon, eBay, AliExpress) on unlocked T-Mobile OnePlus 7T? I am planning to buy phone from eBay and wanted to check if using dual SIM tray is possible...
Not possible without flashing the international firmware which I don't think the tool is out yet to do so. If you want dual SIM I'd suggest but the international version and NOT T-Mobile variant. Hope this helps.
The post on how to convert to International Firmware has been up for over a month. I used it and am now on International Firmware. I don't have the dual tray yet but it has been ordered. And I am confident that dual SIM will work as I can already see mention of it in certain apps. Apps that made no mention of it before the conversion.

Could you share the link where you bought and your feedback is good?
Short answer: yes, doing this now. Just grabbed the cheapest one on amazon (was $6 but the seller has since sold out).
Unless the tmobile variant you're buying is already bootloader unlocked, it's critical that it's permanently sim-unlocked. That should generally also mean that the phone was fully paid off (although not the case if unlock was obtained from mobbdeep here). Do also know that it will take 7 days to get your bootloader unlock bin after submitting the request.
All in all, unless it's a terrific deal and you can be sure / chance it being fully paid off, not reported stolen, permanently sim-unlocked, and you're capable of flashing to global firmware, you're probably better off getting the regular hd1905 variant.

So far I have not been able to actually insert it into the phone. The tray looks like it should fit but I can't seem to work it in. I gave it about 20 seconds and then went off on a different project. I will look at it again this weekend.

You are correct. And I did use Mobbdeep for my SIM Unlock. And, of course, the Bootloader unlock for International Firmware install from O+.
Were you able to insert the tray into the phone?

Please clarify if you have just an unlockted TMo OP7T with a dual SIM tray OR if you have flashed the phone to an international ROM?
If it is the former, I assume you are able to use both SIMs. Can you do voice, text and data on both SIMs?
PS: Please share a link/name from where you purchased the dual SIM tray. Thanks.

Read the thread. TMO firmware does not support dual sim.

That's what I read and thought/knew. I guess the framing of the comment threw me off.
For those who have migrated the TMo phone to the Global ROM, please share if voice, text and data is functional on both SIMs. I have read WiFi calling and other stuff works but was not sure of data. Would be also helpful to find out where you purchased the dual SIM tray....just so I can buy from the same seller and be assured of the fit.
i flashed the international rom and bought the dual sim tray off amazon everything worked fine calls texts data at least for me
I am using TMO 7T unlocked rooted converted to Int'l OOS, using dual SIM (Tmo and ATT). Talk Text works on both no issue. VoLTE works on both. VoWiFi works on TMo, not sure for ATT since its Work SIM.

For those of you who have flashed international firmware, have any of you been able to relock your bootloader after the fact to get rid of the boot warning and to make protected apps (Google Pay, etc) work? Seems like, using a OnePlus image, this should work...

Msmtoolkit is the best and safest way to lock your booloader. However with magiskhide the apps you mentioned should work. Unless they are checking the bootloader status

I know this thread is getting old but yes. I unlocked the bootloader on T-Mobile varient, flashed international firmware, did an immediate OTA update and then relocked the bootloader. All is great. Using a dual SIM tray now and both SIM slot work fine...no issues.
I switched to US Mobile to get Verizon because my friend also has a 7T on UsMo vzw; however, he has the global version and I have the TMo version. At that point I had figured the hardware was the same, but I can't even get past US Mobile's iemi check to activate my phone on Verizon. I've checked some other mvnos and the same thing keeps happening.... IMEI is not supported.
1. What mvno has anybody actually had their Timo(HD1907) version activated on Verizon?
If so, did it require any trickery?
2. My buddy has a Glaxy S10 on Verizon proper. Could I use his IMEI to activate the Sim and then just put the Sim in my 7t?

Assuming the 1907 has the necessary bands for VZW then yes this should work. I often just ask for the IMEI of verizon craigslist sellers then input that into the VZW website portal to get activated. I actually have a small collection of them, as acquiring one in store from a display unit doesnt usually work anymore since those are blacklisted for store use only.

Good idea! I wound up using wife's IMEI and it worked.
