It seems there are some issues with connectivity. I have been having issues with ATT and T-Mobile n41. Can someone with root dump and submit the combos for the US model? https://cacombos.com/contribute
I would do this myself but I don't want to void my warranty if I return it because of this issue.
If anyone else has noticed this issue it would be nice to know more people have noticed
Definitely does not appear to have the correct CA combos. I'm in the same boat as you though, not sure if I want to void warranty to find out

I'll get to it after I get back home either today or tomorrow.
Also, what kinds of issues? I am not experiencing any problems on Red Pocket Mobile (AT&T MVNO). I also purchased my version from Amazon (Seller: Mobile Advance).
Thanks a ton! Speeds are lower than other phones on ATT 5g and LTE on most of the bands I was able to test. And on Tmo it seems like it can't do CA on n41 5G.

In my testing on T-Mobile, the ZF9 appears to not have the following CA's:
2-[*]_n41
66-2-[*]_n41
[*]_n71-n41
Harder to test, but I don't think it has any n41_n41 or n71_n71 aggs either.
Bump. Any more news on this issue. Considering returning mine.

Hello
I'm with ATT, but I want to switch to StraightTalk, since here in Miami, they use ATT anyways.
I also want to upgrade to the LG V10, but I want to get the T-Mobile variant (H901) since that one can be rooted.
So. Can I buy an H901 from ebay, wherever that is unlocked, and use the StraightTalk SIM on it? I will be able to root it, and get a sim card from StraightTalk that will work with ATT. Right?
Thanks
There should be no issue I have unlocked att phones I have use with t-mobile before might check to see what bands of lte att uses most In your area and check what bands the h901 uses
Buy an already unlocked Tmo phone if you can. If not, still OK, just get it unlocked. I would suggest buying from Amazon over eBay, better quality overall, less like to get ripped off, better sellers. As long as the device itself is fully paid they should unlock it. I've gone through major hassles getting my H901 unlocked, but it's done, as of today.
As far as Straight Talk, it should work. Tmo and ATT are mostly compatible with each other as far as networks are concerned. But check first. They both use SIM cards, so does ST. You should be able to switch pretty easily.
At work, we are affiliated with mywit.com, where we can buy refurbished phones in very good condition.
If I buy a T-Mobile phone that is locked to T-Mobile (as it says in the description), how would I use it on ATT until I decide to switch to StraightTalk?
The switch to Straight Talk involves our 3 phones, so it's something that I have to plan out; one of the phones lives in another city. So, I have to remain with ATT for now. How do I get this H901 to work with ATT? Can I do that somehow?
@nabril15: The answer is simple:
You cant use the phones with ATT or ST until they are unlocked from T-Mo's network. You can use T-Mo's Device Unlock app to get a temp unlock, but that only lasts 30 days. On the other hand, you should theoretically have no issues getting unlocks for all devices involved, if they are paid in full.

And I can get this done by calling TMobile to unlock it even though I am NOT a customer of theirs?

No, t mobile won't unlock it for you if you're not a customer, feel free to try but i doubt they will
Check Swappa, usually on of the best prices and sellers will say if unlocked - also i believe i saw them on eBay for like 250$ unlocked and refurbished
I recently purchased the H901 unlocked from the guys at Mytecell on Swappa. I'm on att. Had to do some research on entering a new APN to get data and MMS to work, but overall satisfied.
Does anyone know if root or which roms will allow wifi calling on att networks?
To my knowledge you can only use WiFi calling on a Tmo-issued phone if you are on Tmo's network. Doesnt matter if you're rooted or what ROM you use, there is probably a server side check. And you generally can only use Tmo wifi-calling on stock based ROMs, no AOSP/CM.
Hello - I've been trying to research how I can get Wifi calling enabled on my 965F but I get all kinds of twisted up with all the different model numbers and lingo of flashing ROM's so I'm hoping something might be willing to point me in the right direction. I have a brand new S9+ 965F model with the Exynos processor on T-Mobile US. The Wifi calling option is missing which I did not expect but after reading is not unusual. I keep reading about needing to flash a particular ROM in order for it to be enabled - something about XEU or U1 perhaps? I'm of course a bit worried about turning the phone into a brick but I'm willing to take a reasonable risk to get Wifi calling unlocked.
Can anyone help? I would really appreciate it!
I have an ATT one with snapdragon, looking for the same, enable WIFI calling mine is a G9650
Same issue
Hey Mate,
Have you find a solution for your problem? Got the same issue with my G965f/DS. Moved to US and Wifi Calling wont work on TM and ATT. I've even tested on smaller providers and still same problem. I travel a lot and need Wifi Calling when I'm abroad.
Please, let me know if you guys have any solution for this problem.
Thank you,
Unfortunately I ended up returning the phone. After hours of digging the bottom line I believe is that there is no carrier profile for US carriers in this version of the phone and then I think the next issue is it doesn't support the proper bands. I ended up getting the OnePlus 6T instead.
I read flashing a ROM from a country with VoLTE and Wifi calling enabled, lets you see the settings.
I have an s9+ from UAE and I'm waiting for Pie release on INS ROM (India) to flash it and see if it works in my country (Argentina)
Sent from S.G. S9+ Duos
I'm in the same boat, no knowledge of if or when WiFi calling will be available for unlocked phones. Just a shame that such an important feature that worked on my old iPhone 6 isn't available in a supposed "flagship" product. That's just really shoddy workmanship.
The title pretty much sums it up.
I had an ATT phone when working in the US - it was unlocked by ATT when I moved to Canada for work.
I just flashed it to SM-965U1.
I am on Koodo, living in an area with sub-par signal and I'd really like to know if it is possible to get the Koodo firmware on so that I may enjoy the perks of WiFi Calling and VoLTE.
Thank you,

do you know anyone with a Koodo S9+? or can you call/visit one of the retail locations to get the firmware version from their S9+? sammobile.com/firmwares might have it, but its possible that itll be a toughie as niche cell providers like these dont exactly have a lot of availability for that. You could maybe contact their tech support to see if you can get access to the firmware
So I bought the XQ-BC72 model and flashed US firmware. Earlier this year I was able to do this on the Xperia 5 II and it worked perfectly. The 5 II was also the Chinese/Asian model that I flashed to US firmware.
So has anyone managed to use the asian model on verizon with or without flashing US firmware?
UPDATE: I called verizon tech support and got them to add the IMEI number to my phone line. This along with a 4G sim card has allowed me to get LTE on this phone and sending/receiving texts works too. Sweet. Will try getting VoLTE or VoWIFI to work, but I highly doubt it.
UPDATE 2: LTE/4G only worked where I originally set it up (at work, within their WiFi range). Very odd behavior. As soon as I left work, service was gone. Connecting to any other WiFi did not bring back service. As soon as I got back to the office, the service came back. This is so weird. I did all this on a 4G sim card. Will try using a 5G sim card before giving up and getting a US version or staying on the OnePlus 8T.
UPDATE 3: I got Verizon to work on the XQ-BC72. I flashed from the US Firmware to Taiwan Firmware (TW). You will still need a sim card that is provisioned as CDMA-less by verizon (you can do this over the phone or chat on their website) while inserted into a phone that verizon supports (such as your currently phone most likely if you already use Verizon). Then just switch out the sim card into the Sony and should be good to go.
You're brave to be a guinea pig here, and it's much appreciated. I'd love to purchase the bc72 but am too worried about compatibility with Verizon. Please update us on your progress or lack thereof, I'm sure I'm not the only one interested in the outcome

Well I got it to work for a little bit. Basically, it only worked while I was at work within the range of my works WiFi (this is where I set up the phone by chatting with verizon). As soon as I left work, I lost LTE and it would not return until I went back inside the building (yes I was still in range of the service signal). Its very odd. Connecting to any other WiFi outside of work did not bring back LTE/service.
I will attempt to get a 5g sim card and try again but I doubt I will get better results. I am currently using a verizon 4G sim card which works perfectly in OnePlus 8T (which was converted from TMobile to Global)
See update 3 above if anyone is interested in using the international model (XQ-BC72) on Verizon. Benefits of this route is you can use the Gray color model as well (not just black and purple that the US model allows) and you can also get the one with 512gb storage (internal storage is almost always faster than SD cards). Downsides are warranty is probably gone, no 5G or VoLTE support most likely.
I'm curious if anyone knows the compatibility of a US Verizon s23 ultra and T-Mobile's network. I assumed they would be compatible as long as its carrier unlocked however I'm having issues getting my Verizon s23 ultra to accept my t-mobile sim. Any insight from someone with more experience is welcomed.
Verizon locks the phone for 60 days. After that, you're good to use whatever SIM you choose (you may have to flash the U1 firmware to get all features working though).

Its unlocked I manage about 40k in devices so they unlocked it for me without much hassle but they cant answer why my t-mobile sim isnt working.
That sounds like it's still locked to me? Are you using the pSIM or the eSIM? There have been some reports recently that the pSIM gets unlocked and the eSIM remains locked to the original carrier but if you're trying to use the pSIM and they say it's unlocked, I don't know.

The esim is verizon and the psim is t-mobile. Ive had small issues in the past with devices not being able to take full use of the network etc. but not flat out not working.

Yeah that's strange. On paper it definitely should work.
