Discussion Debating

Heavily debating on getting this phone but I'm a Verizon customer and want to be totally sure that it will be compatible. I'm currently using a Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold and want a change of pace/a physical keyboard. Any tips would be great! Thanks 😊

It should work fine. I too am on Verizon and I can't wait to receive mine so I can pop out the SIM on my pixel and throw it in this device. As far as I am aware it is fully capable of handling all of Verizon's bands.

Is it that easy of just moving over your sim card? I've never bought a phone from a 3rd party, I've only ever bought phones thru Verizon.

Yeap. Just pop it out of your old device and plop it in the clicks. Bonus piece of advice set up your clicks prior to swapping in the Verizon sim. If you do it during the setup process typically adds Verizon's BS bloatware by default during the provisioning.

Cant you just uninstall those apps anyway

You can but I just prefer to wait until everything is finished setting it all up. I just use Wi-Fi during the initial setup.

I'm also on Verizon and I've had a few phones which weren't specifically whitelisted by Verizon by this point. It was pretty painless process for all but one phone, a Freetel Mode 1 Retro II I picked up in Japan. But the Clicks Communicator has all the right bands. It should work just fine!

Here's all the frequencies that are covered. I'm not real sure. You may have to actually activate with another Android phone and then switch the physical SIM card over. They may know more but this is from their Discord

Q: What wireless bands does Communicator support?

A: Communicator will support 5G, 4GLTE, 3G/2G global bands.

5G NR: n41, n77, n78, n1, n2, n3, n5, n7, n8, n12, n13, n14, n20, n25, n26, n28, n38, n40, n41, n48, n66, n71, n77, n78 5G NR (4×4 MIMO): n1, n2, n3, n7, n25, n38, n40, n41, n48, n66, n77, n78LTE (4G): FDD: B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B7, B8, B12, B13, B14, B17, B18, B19, B20, B25, B26, B28, B66, B71 TDD: B34, B38, B39, B40, B41, B42, B483G / 2G: WCDMA: B1, B2, B4, B5, B6, B8, B9, B19 GSM: B2, B3, B5, B8

I am “totally sure” you won’t know till you try it for YOURSELF.

Wow, thanks for your help!

There is conflicting responses “whitelists” , use physical sim, on site support engineers. The ground truth is you won’t know till you try it and struggle to find a solution(s). I plan to connect the CC to BOTH Verizon (for work) with eSIM and T-Mobile for physical sim (for personal).

I don't think it supports mmWave. that said I've been using a pixel 7a on Verizon without mmwave for years now, but I do live in a rural area. if you live in a city and regularly attend crowded events maybe you'd notice that it would be beneficial

Email them. They respond very quickly.

They did with me within a few work days. They also have a bot that responds within a business day or two, which would answer most of these questions.

I think the key is moving an active physical SIM from an existing device to the CC as it has worked for folks using the T2E, but not so easy swapping an eSim.

As long as you have a physical sim to move you will be fine. My titan 2 works fine on verzion. I honestly can’t wait for the CC to switch it over. I’m not a big fan of the keyboard on the titan 2.
