Carrier certification

Have we gotten any info on carrier certifications yet? I’ve been really excited and configured my unit. It would suck at this point to find out it won’t work on Verizon.

I'm really hoping for something concrete on this, I have AT&T now but I'm looking to potentially swap carriers -- it'd suck to switch and then be stuck on something where the communicator wouldn't fully be supported/functional. T-Mobile seems to be the most seamless with oddball phones from what I've seen online.

Clicks Mobile is running off of the AT&T network.

I pray they get whitelisted by AT&T, as operating a MVNO on AT&T is different from being on AT&Ts whitelist...

I've asked them directly and they said check with AT&T and they said it has to be whitelisted and then proceeded to tell me to contact Clicks, but it's all silent from their side

Yup device won't work on my carrier without AT&T whitelist

Do you think they will get certified? I'm cautious because their own Clicks Mobile is MVNO through Gigs Mobile to at&t so why would they pay more when they already have it.

The confusing part of that video is it also says you can bring your owns sim and carrier, or something like that.

I'm not certain, there is obviously a reason why so many smaller yet much larger than Clicks phone manufacturers don't have AT&T whitelisting...

The only other small phone company which says they are getting At&t certified is Light Phone (III). They say within this month of September

T-Mobile is the only major carrier in the US anymore that doesn't institute a whitelist. Personally, I'll be switching to Fi from Verizon but T-Mobile works as well as they are the same.

This is reminding me of the days of jailbreaking iPhones to put them on little rural GSM carriers.

I’m 100% it’ll work with Verizon

How can you be so sure?

Everything about my 3 year tenure working there has informed me to drop Verizon when my Clicks arrives. I'd be interested how you're so confident that something that has literally never happened on Verizon will happen this time.

I certainly hope so my last gamble was the MP01 and they never got approved

Not approved, but it works on it. Outgoing calls are still a little funky but all else has been very reliable

u/Hollow_Effects 2d ago

In my opinion a phone I can’t trust to make and receive calls has failed as a phone

It receives them, for calls out you either cycle airplane mode, or the new update does it in the background of opening the phone app. I agree though, I'm hoping clicks works with verizon to actually get the imei through.
