    I use a number of non-approved phones on Verizon. All you need is a Verizon sim card and the proper radios. I use some Xiaomi's (Mi5 and Mi5s) a ZTE Axon Z7 (strongest Verizon signal I have ever had), plus a couple of others.). All you need are the proper bands and you are good to go. According to the Blackberry website and the specs, the K1 has all right stuff to work on Verizon, whether Verizon sells it or not. I haven't bought a phone from Verizon in years and don't plan on starting now. Just buy it from BB, put in your existing sim and you should be good to go. As I have said on some other forums, both Verizon and ZTE tell me the Z7 phone won't work on Verizon, so get used to that. Gotta love 'em

    I did, absolutely in love with it. Keyboard is a dream, glad to have her back. Everything on the Verizon side is working great except no WiFi calling or Advanced Calling but I'm working trying to get Verizon to activate the advanced calling for me. Let me know if you have any questions about it, I'll do my best to answer them.

    Have you tried the dialer code *#*#46368676#*#* and see if you can tick VOLTE Provisioned or WIFI Calling Provisioned flags?

    Tried that and the VOLTE was already checked and the WiFi calling unchecks itself after being enabled. Still no go on Advanced calling. Verizon said they have to approve the device which they said would be denied so she wouldn't even try to approve it....good stuff

    I have mine on Verizon and activated yesterday as well, going from the Priv. I also am trying to activate HD calling so I can use data while on the phone, so please let me know what you find out. Also, The file manager I use Zenui, is having issues with the SD card and permissions, I belive this is more a Nougat issue though. For example, when using the file manger ASUS (ZenUI) to delete a picture that I just took, it says to grant the file manager permission on the SD card, however the instructions show for a earlier android version, as it simply does not allow you to grant the permission, while annoying, I can live with it for the time being,

    Thanks for checking! Will mess around with it tonight and let you know if I discover anything. I've extracted all my Verizon related apps from the Priv just to see if installing those helps at all. Will update tonight. Thanks again!

    Another thing to try if you haven't would be downloading quickshortcutmanager from the play store. There is a hidden activity in there where you can turn on wifi calling. I'd be surprised if it worked but worth a check. I think it's buried in either phone settings or Phone Call Management or settings within shortcut manager activity launcher.

    Advanced calling is now active on my KEYone with Verizon with help from the other thread. https://forums.crackberry.com/blackb.../#post12922710
    And the dialer code that jcrutchvt10#AC referred to, so thank you

    Yes, confirming that HD Voice (advanced calling) is working via the other link above. The key is to restart the phone and toggling the on/off switch. Confirmed with VZ on Twitter that WiFi calling is not supported yet. I did manage to switch the toggle WC on in the special menu but the switch in settings does not show yet.

    The code gets typed into the phone dialer app. Like you are trying to "call" the code
