One plus 6T McLaren Supported?
-
I’m thinking of getting a OP 6T McLaren but I’m wondering if it would be supported by UT?
I have Pixel 3a but it’s not network supported so I can’t use it.
Anybody know for sure?

What do you mean ?
Pixel 3a is the best supported phone, it has all its functions working under Ubuntu Touch.
What's not working ?
Where do you live ? -

That is not a Pixel 3a problem. I believe your problem is that calling in your area (US) relies on VoLTE nowadays. UT does not currently support VoLTE, so the Op6t would not solve that problem.
What will solve the problem is UT getting VoLTE support. And that is not around the corner yet, but it's being worked on and progress is being made.

@keneda I live in the US. The phone itself is great, and works good, just can’t talk and send messages LoL!

@moem So it wouldn’t matter what phone UT is on in the US?

As you live in the US, where cell providers shut down 2G and 3G, yes, no matter what phone you choose... Call will not work.
But i believe you should be able to use messaging, even if i'm not sure about that.
For calling, you can workaround the VoLTE not working (for now) under Ubuntu Touch issue by using a SIP provider, because data on 4G is working.

That's right, it would not. For now.
The devs and porters of UT are taking this problem seriously, and a solution is something that is considered to have a high priority. -
@mw4jet McClaren OP6T is supported by UT. IRT VoLTE, we've had a lot of progress with the OP6T. We need testers. Please see our North American carrier issues group on Telegram/Teleports

It would be helpful to those affected if you could add a link here.

Only the OP6T, not the Pixel 3a or others phones ?

What they said . . . I've got an extra active SIM since I'm messing around trying to get SFOS volte working, so might as well put it to use.

Only P2XL and OP6T are capable of receiving VoLTE calls right now, OP6T can make calls, but it's very buggy. We need testers.

@rocket2nfinity I am getting a OP6t and I’ll get it flashed too UT, then I’ll need some guidance from there.
Any recommendations on a carrier?
I also had a Telegram account I never used so I got myself on the NA carrier group so I’ll read on that to learn stuff lol

@mw4jet US Mobile or Red Pocket. Others will of course have their preferred.

@rocket2nfinity US Mobile is a good deal. Really customizable for a strict budget situation, plus 2G service.
Just want to let everybody know...
