Not with automated assumption cowboy . iPhones 6 and 6+ were the only ever iPhones in the iPhone‘s history thus far, that were released with both CDMA and GSM radios. However, mos recently, I have switched from AT&T to Verizon and successfully activated my iPhone X, that I purchased from AT&T store the day of the preorder.
Before i I even thought about the switch, I checked the phone compatibility at Verizon website. The results were as follows: CONGRATULATIONS, YOUR DEVICE IS WORKING ON VERIZON NETWORK. Then there was another message saying IPHONE X, NON VERIZON, CDMA LESS. Meaning, that it doesn’t have the CDMA built in. What it does however, it purely relies on the LTE network, which is the most common and popular network that most or all major cellular service providers use. In other words if the areas are not covered by LTE network, then my phone’s Receiption will dwindle and eventually go kaput in that juncture, until I find a spot that is covere by LTE. The reason why Verizon is a more reliable service than AT&T, because of its dual system. CDMA and LTE. However, ones the new iPhone comes out next year, I’ll be buying a Verizon version of the iPhone. I do have iPhone 6 + and is completely compatible with Verizon, supporting both CDMA and LTE. If you read the iPhone 6 specs you’ll find it there, that it does have both technology built in, whether it‘s the AT&T version or Verizon version.
It it was a surprise for me too, when I found out that Verizon will activate iPhone X, after all that beef , they were claiming that AT&T version of iPhone X will not work on Verizon. And rightfully so, due to the lack of major factors and compatibility. Although I don’t have any problems with my iPhone X on Verizon, but even if I do somewhere down the road, then I’ll get the Verizon version of iPhone X, and sell my AT&T version. Either way I’ll be just fine. Besides, Verizon gives us $200 Visa card for each compatible phone you bring in from other carriers. So that’s total of $400, which will eas compensate any losses sustained during the switch.
