So according to this CNET article Verizon network certification is not complete.
That is a problem for me. If it doesn't get Verizon certification, it is of no use to me.
https://www.cnet.com/news/essential-phone-ships-after-two-missed-ship-dates/#
Got this from their support today:
Thank you for your question. We expect to receive Verizon certification soon. Though it is not certified by Verizon, it does work on the their network. You will need to make sure you are using a NFC nano SIM for full functionality. Have a great day.
Sincerely,
Emily

I'm using a Xiaomi Mi Note 2 on Verizon right now and it works fine. I have VoLTE. No Wifi calling though. I'm 99.9% sure Verizon never certified this phone.
What I should have said, is that if it doesn't work right out of the box, it's no use to me.
When I got my Nexus 6P you had to jump through a few hoops because you couldn't get a SIM card.
You had to have an existing active phone.
is it really an issue though? just swap the sim from your phone into that one and it will work. only issue comes from if you don't already have a phone with a nano sim or can't use a buddies phone to help. yes hoops like that suck but it had to be expected that verizon would take way longer than everyone else.

Only if it doesn't work when I drop in the SIM.
I have a Nexus 6P and I've been through the whole thing about phones not being certified.
Sometimes, though, not being certified, also means not working.

It's actually really good. I was running Resurrection Remix on it so pretty much stick with some tweaks. I get all the LTE bands on Verizon and have VoLTE. I get good data speeds. The battery is really good. Overall it's a nice phone. It's just hard to go back to bezels after having a Mix, a G6 and an S8+. This was just supposed to be a serviceable phone to hold me over while I waited on one of the current crop and it's done its job well.
I got my phone on Friday and used it fine right away. Today Verizon service stopped. Put my SIM back in my Pixel and everything is fine. Switched twice, no Essential, Pixel fine. Anyone else have a similar issue?

Try factory resetting without the Sim in then install sim and factory reset again. It's how I got the axon 7 to run perfect on Verizon. No need to change settings or anything.

I had a similar issue the other day. It just suddenly started working again an hour after I factory reset. I would say don't touch the network settings or use the 4636 menu. That's when I started to have issues.

Enhanced 4G LTE Mode works.
just lost my verizon service on this phone within the last hour or two. sim works fine with the pixel xl.... not good
update: factory reset worked, but still not happy. they better get certification soon from verizon
So I was hoping to switch to Verizon from Sprint after I got this phone. I guess I have to wait for certification since I don't have a Verizon sim?

I have flashed 2 different images downloaded from Google and have even tried to install CleanRom. My issue is I get LTE data and can even receive messages, but absolutely no calls in or out. *#*#4636#*#* shows emergency calls only. This same sim works on my old phone still. My APN is exactly the same as my wife's Note 3 so that isn't the problem either. Can anybody help me figure out what is going on and how to fix it. Thanks

You can cut your sim down to nano... They even sell sim cutters that punch out the different sizes.

I put my verizon nano sim card from my s6 and it just worked for me. Stock unrooted.
Yeah, I have CDMA/LTE checked and have a nano sim in.
With no solution in sight, i contacted Huawei customer service and am supposed to be getting an RMA label today. They said it will ship back for repairs and be gone 10-14 days.

Are you curious if Verizon works on the 6P? Because I am on Verizon and everything works as it should. Just pop in an active nano sim.
Anyone else enjoying using VoLTE on their Pixel with AT&T? Conversations are so much clearer now. Could never go back to not using it.

I have that but when I make a call it switches to H+
I installed the beta, and that option was automatically selected.
Yep. Just tried turning on LTE only and I cannot make a phone call. So option is there, but not working at present.
Anybody know how to enable WiFi calling on this phone, or does ATT block any phone not approved and sold through them?
works for me when i make a call, LTE stays on
I just chatted with At&t. They told me that both my pixel 2xl and my wife's pixel are compatible for HD Voice and Enhanced Messaging. They told me to wait 2 hours and reboot. I'll update this post with the results
How did you get VoLTE turned on?
Edit: Realized there must not be a switch. Also decided to not be a dummy and actually read the first page of posts. LTE stays on for me when calling now.
Now if we could get enhanced messaging (10 mb limit) and wifi calling/texting, we'd be onto something

So after 11 hours still no features. I contacted At&t and am now being told that the original Pixel XL is not compatible. The new Pixel 2XL may be but I will have to be approved. I provided my IMEI to the rep and they are supposed to email me back within 72 hours. I also provided her an ad I found from At&t encouraging people to bring their new Pixels to At&t. I provided some screen shots below for you guys

Yup. I highly doubt this will go anywhere. Even if the pixel 2 has the capabilities, AT&T wants people to lease phones from them with their branding, period. I got an S8 through the Next program at launch (April) and VoLTE worked no problem. Before that I brought my own unlocked devices, Nexus 5, 6, and 6p. None of them ever were able to use advanced features.

Yep. It would be a clear departure from their current position that only AT&T branded devices get these advanced features.
One can hope though.
Just had a chat with AT&T. You do need to contact them and give them your IMEI to get VoLTE working. Mine now works.
Opened the Settings app earlier and there was a suggestion at the top to turn on Wifi calling. I'm on At&t and November update.
How did you get this to work? I've been trying to days to enable this option. I pushed "adb shell settings put global wfc_ims_enabled1" but to no avail has it worked.
I am on AT&T and have tried this with both a Google Pixel XL 2 from Google and Verizon. If you could give me any details of what your setup is like so I can try to enable this I'd dearly appreciate it!

+1 how? Very curious.
a screenshot showing the actual call going over wifi is needed.
unless ATT changed their mind in the last week, WiFi calling isnt available for the Pixel 2/XL, even if the option is enabled, the account has to be provisioned, and the phone needs the proper IMS profile, ATT to this date has refused to allow it.
This is the first I've seen the option even appear. Will test some calls and report back.

Looks like it isn't up and rolling yet, but the fact that the option appears has me hopeful. At&t still doesn't say that it supports VoLTE on P2XL, but we have that working, so perhaps Wi-Fi calling is coming soon.

Here's hoping. My apartment is on the bottom floor so reception is very spotty. What has been weird though is that if I start a call when I have reception and move to a spot in my apartment where there is no cell service, the call persists. So part of me thinks me enabling Wifi Calling from ADB may have done something?

Because idiots around the US have no idea what they're talking about then they say "VoLTE on AT&T only works with AT&T-branded Android phones or iPhones". As long as a manufacturer certifies their device with AT&T, and configure their devices with the proper IMS profile for AT&T's network, VoLTE will work. Google (HTC/LG) certified the Pixel 2 / 2 XL with AT&T for VoLTE and RCS, both of which work if all criteria are met (proper SIM card, IMEI updated in billing system, options turned on), and right now, 8.1 DP1/DP2 are needed to use VoLTE on AT&T's network, as the modem/IMS configuration was updated on the phone to support it.

VoLTE is enabled in Android 8.1 for AT&T. I just flashed the final factory image and it does indeed work. You do have to verify that your sim card is properly provisioned for VoLTE. As for the WiFi calling portion of this conversation, I still cannot access the "Wi-Fi calling" setting within "Mobile network settings."

Check to make sure your sim card supports it. If it does you'll wanna call att and have a technician make sure your account is provisioned properly. Also you'll need to make sure they have the IMEI of your phone.

I just bought a Verizon Pixel 2 XL and Volte doesn't work. I'm on 8.1.0 February security patch. I thought that the Verizon Pixel was exactly the same as the Google Store version, other than the locked bootloader. Does anyone know how to get this working? I've already called At&t twice, and they say it should be working.

My point is that Att knows that I have an Essential phone ( we installed the sims in the store) and in fact I have 2 of them on my account and they both use LTE. I have seen the H show up when traveling down I70 in Eastern Kansas but is almost always says LTE. Maybe I am misunderstanding the issue here. Here are my APN settings.
Edit: I also am set to Global under prefered network types. Where I live the Speed seems much faster than set on 4G/LTE from my speed tests 45Mb vs 20Mb not sure if that is scientific or not.

Yes while you could use the device on AT&T as many of have it was not a recognized device by at&t. If you gave them your IMEI they wouldn't recognize the device as an official AT&T compatible device. Why some people like yourself don't get the full AT&T experience like LTE. That won't be an issue now. The essential PH-1 is an officially recognized device by AT&T.
So do I need a new sim now? I've been messing around with settings and still can't get 4G.
I ordered ASAP via pre order and wanted to get the PHONE ASAP. Just got off the phone with Verizon Tier 1 and 2. Yes I know about the CDMA Less feature being added but since they did away with 3g thats no longer an option. My IMEI or this OP8 pro isn't on their approved list yet and it wont let them do anything else. I also tried to do this on my own verizon account and as soon as I put the IMEI# in it shows as not an eligible device. I am going to try and be patient as the phone so far ( NOT testing the camera yet) is buttery smooth. Anything else anybody can comment?

Does wifi calling work on Verizon for the OnePlus model that's the only way I'm buying an unlocked model?

Did you see my 2nd post ? I tweeted one plus and Verizon contacted me and I was working with them on Twitter DM and the tech did this : refreshed the SMS over lte features and also mms over lte features they said.
yes i did exactly what dailycruz suggested. they refreshed my sms over LTE a bunch of times. I spent many hours today on the phone with Verizon last person I spoke to was from engineering and he told me that he could not enable cdma-less on my phone since it would not allow them to add a oneplus 8 Pro iemei into the system to activate. his suggestion was to activate a OnePlus 7 Pro (which i don't have) which is approved allowing them to enable CDMA-less option. then switch to OnePlus 8pro. I am super angry at this point.

Could someone try a call using Google Voice and see if WiFi calling works with that, please?
Google voice works to make wifi calls through the app but there's no wifi calling options in the OnePlus phone app that i can see.
Daillcyruz, what phone did you switch from? was Cdma-less enabled on your original phone?

I agree Google voice is just going thru an app.

Yes, it is. I used it exclusively so when I buy unlocked non-vzw phones I'll be able to still make WiFi calls. Even ported my number over to it.

Do you know by chance if Verizon enabled CDMA-Less on your OnePlus 8 Pro ?
Wow, this is a deal breaker for me. My work phone they can't enable CDMA-LESS on that line, they claim it's something about the type of business contract. So I'm having to carry my OP7P for my own, and another P3XL for work. When I saw that the OP8P supports Verizon's CDMA bands, I was like FINALLY I can carry one phone!!! (Once they activate the dual sim in the USA).
Do we know why this is NOT the case when we are being told otherwise? Anyone have any thoughts?
Surprisingly my OP8P worked just from sim swap. I am on a Verizon business account, account auto added

So I have an update finally. My buddy in Orlando sent me his OnePlus 7 Pro to When I put my Verizon sim card in, i had same exact issue as my new OnePlus 8Pro, no SMS messages. I called back the engineer at Verizon who suggested I try this to begin with, and he was able to enable CDMA-Less feature this time with the OnePlus 7 Pro and my sim, since its MEID showed up in Verizon's system properly. As soon as he enabled CDMA-Less i was able to receive SMS messages on the OnePlus 7 PRO. I then immediately pulled the sim from 7 Pro and put it back into my One Plus 8 PRO and surprise surprise SMS/MMS messages started coming down!! I have no clue why they cant enable it on the new OnePlus 8 PRO and my phone still does not show up properly on My Verizon Device page ( the One Plus 7 Pro showed up perfectly).
This is a crazy work around and neither OnePlus nor Verizon was really much help on getting this to work. Maybe a new Sim would of done the trick but without being able to go to a Verizon store at the moment, it was just another shot in the dark.
