TMobile dual SIM - Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers

I currently have a OnePlus 6t, I have two TMobile sim cards that I use. Ones for personal, ones for business. I've called TMobile and they say I can't activate the esim as it's only an iPhone option, I've told them I've read where people have done it with the pixel but obviously, me not having the phone I can't have them try. My question is, does anyone use TMobile for both the physical sim and esim? Does everything work properly? What did you do to get TMobile to activate it? Thanks

Thanks for the reply, do you also use a physical sim and is that TMobile as well by chance?

Do you have the Google unlocked version or the TMobile carrier version? Also which build are you on? Some articles made it sound like you had to be in a specific for T-Mobile esim support

Thanks, I use to carry 2 phones and have gotten spoiled since going with OnePlus phones for my last 3 devices and while I like OnePlus I always find myself looking at pixels but I won't go back to carrying 2 phones.

The Pixel 4 is now official supported for eSIM on T-Mobile with the December update.

Can anyone one with a Att moto x try a tmo sim please

The droid maxx its sim free out of the box. The Att sim works on a Verizon droid maxx I was wondering if the moto x from Att was sim free too. I want to buy this device customized from moto maker but use it on tmo. Can anyone with a moto x and have a friend with a tmo sim try this please. See if it picks h+ at least

Cant you get an unlock code off eBay? Perhaps cellunlocker will offer an unlocking service. I remember I unlocked my AT&T Optimus G Pro with them when I got it in the UK for around $8/£5.

Friend of mine is already trying with CellUnlocker. Will report back if it works or not. He already tried UnlockUnit but they refunded after trying for a week. Looks like Att is making it even harder this time due to motomaker exclusivity.

Hello
Mine was locked here in Canada...
To unlock just pay 1.25 on fusionunlock.com ( is not my site - i get no cash to refer this site ! ) don't pay cellunlocker or any others website... you get no service at great price !
edit : My friend with att just comfirm me all work great with unlock code of this site !

We are in the US on Att, so whatever works in Canada for the Rogers units probably won't work for us. If you have used Fusionunlock.com, can you show a screenshot if it says worthing about unlocking the Att version? Their website requires a username and password, and I don't want to sign up just to see the details.
I know a unlock services would work unlocking the phone. My question is if the Att moto x would at least pick H+ after unlocking. If it has the tmo bands. That's the question. The only way to know is by popping in a tmo sim card.

Calling plus - simultaneous voice and data

Does above know when this is coming to the note 8. That's a major reason I upgraded from the note 4. I was shocked when I upgraded from the note 2 and lost simultaneous voice and data and have been suffering ever since.
Patiently waiting on this as well
Update: Now working! 11/22/2017
Followed instructions on post 41 in this tread (Thanks to BlueFox for sharing The original how To post)
when sprint release this for the note 8 or you maybe able to pull this form a rooted s8 by spr.
well when i rooted spr note 8 VoLTE and WiFi was working hmmm please don't ask because idk how this is without the up date. yes it works as i can make call but it has no toggle for it. i will take a screen shot in a sec. aslo do any one might know where VoLTE is stored at, if i can find out where this is at....maybe i can pull it for root and non rooted phones (maybe Non-rooted phones)
Here is a picture
Waiting on this as well..come on Sprint
Maybe I can give the xml file for Bolts but u gotta have root
Just did a 5 minute phone call while using my hotspot to my tv for Netflix and I noticed it wasn't cutting off so I tried some web surfing
while on call and it worked.
Didn't know this was coming back? Haven't had it since the S3

Found this
I found these using an activity launcher, i still havent tried it yet(volte), and i also found a call recorder, and the spam and caller id app but i dont think it works atm
based off his screenshots it looks like hes running the XAS software with sprint csc.
If you flash the unlocked tar image to the phone it will give you volte, but it wasn't working for me unless i was already on wifi calling and then left the wifi network i could continue using data, once i got off phone and made a new call on cellular it wasn't working.

Any updates how we can enable the "Talk and Data" option? with all the technology of today, its amazing this isnt enabled with any software release out of the box
Mine works on incoming calls only. If I make a call it does not work
Sent from my SM-N950U using XDA-Developers Legacy app
It sucks that yes with all this technology, Sprint is so F behind. Volte should be available for unlock and carrier phone right out of the box. I mean for carrier S8 it came out a bit late, but not as late as the Note 8.
And why does Tmob. Is able to do Volte and hotspot. Just like that.
If I wasn't under a grandfather plan, Zero plan, I will have ditch Sprint long time ago.
Thank God for the gurus here at XDA, makes for some tweaking, while we wait for the Calling Plus...
Saafir said:
I was under the impression from Tech articles VoIP while using Data was never coming back because of the "Triband" era.. I'll try and report back!
Edit: I can confirm that Data does not work on Voice Calls at this time.
Also note I rooted with SamFAIL

No not that it was never coming back. It just wasn't coming back till Sprint had VoLTE infrastructure in place and they turn it on.
I think it is still a year or two out before they get that going. The good thing is if they actually activate it our phones are compatible for it.
Turning this stuff on, on our end won't work till Sprint turns it on, on their end.

T-Mobile Note 9 to Verizon

Hi guys,
I bought the note 9 directly from Samsung and it was a T-mobile version. I just switched to Verizon but I can't use the note 9 because it's locked to T-mobile. I've called T-mobile multiple times and they said i have to do it through the app but the app keeps telling me that the unlock has failed. I have also called samsung countless times and they told me that the Note 9 that i purchased was designed to be used for T-mobile and there is no unlocking it. I doubt that this is true. What are my options here? Can i flash the unlocked firmware if so, where can i find it? Thanks in advance for the help.

I reached out to both of them. Samsung did not do sh*t. They said they can't do anything since it was designed to work with T-mobile only. I don't buy that. It's same hardware so there has to be a way to flash it.

Well flashing it may not remove the SIM lock. But if you can't get resolved then I suggest you get a lawyer and see where it goes.

I pretty sure a T-Mobile Note 9 will not work on Verizon due to the frequencies being different and each phone have different radio software that includes specific hardware. The only phone I am aware of that runs on both is the Pixel.

The installation of a specific carrier rom will unlock the modem to allow it to work on a given carriers network. Just do your research before you start flashing roms.

Well, i know how to flash roms and how odin works. So should I root it and flash Verizon's rom?
Please do the research.
Rooting the device has nothing to do with flashing a different carrier's rom.

I had this problem before on another phone. Go on Twitter and send tweet to John Legere from T-Mobile that you can't unlock your paid off phone, someone from Tmobile will contact you to get it unlocked. You can probably also send a tweet to T-mobile too, but I never tried them.
If you bought it from Samsung directly for T-Mobile it should be a N960U1 for an unlocked device or a N960U locked on T-Mobile
Which device do you have?

I'm pretty sure this statement is inaccurate. As far as I know, all N960U carrier models (i.e. Verizon, TMobile, ATT, etc) have the same hardware.

Flashing a different firmware will do absolutely nothing for the SIM Lock situation.
Also,if you're currently on a temporary unlock,that may be holding things up as well.
Typically,T-Mobile has a 40 day period to where you need for the phone to be active on their network before they will grant a SIM Unlock,not sure if this applies to devices bought directly from Samsung,but,it still could be why you're having issues.
You have two options:
1) Continue contacting T-Mobile regarding the issue,be prepared to show 'em your receipt/etc... proving you've bought the phone from Samsung & that it is indeed paid off. Call during typical office hrs on weekdays to ensure you get your former regional "Team Of Experts",I've found T-Mo's Customer Care has greatly improved since they went this route.
2) Use a paid device unlock service & make sure what you buy is T-Mobile Note 9 specific.
Anything else will not work. Google is your friend,as well as searching here in the Note 9 forums for services that have been recommended by the membership here.
Stay on the T-Mobile firmware until the device is permanently unlocked,I'm not sure that side-loading the device unlock .apk will work on non-T-Mobile firmware.
Depending on the method of payment you used,you may have some buyer protection regarding a return/refund,but,I'd use that as a last resort if after a week or so you get no results.
I just had a replacement and it was locked on tmobile, when I was getting the failed to unlock was because it wasn't enough time activated on their network after a week of use I was able to successfully permanent unlock my note 9
