It is very irritating to face such a problem on a new smartphone. But there is no need to worry as there are simple fix for it. Verizon is providing their special call support to fix the problem. You can also use the live chat support. When you call to Verizon or take help from their chat team, they will ask you to add “CDMA-Less Roam” or “CDMA_Less” to their respective accounts or devices. This is probably asked so that System could route SMS to the Oneplus 6T over LTE.

Hopefully, the Verizon realize the problem that users are facing in executing these messy steps and tweak their System.

Possible Reason behind Oneplus 6T Verizon sms issue

The most possible reason could be that Oneplus 6T is registration failure while getting activated with Verizon. By this, I mean that Verizon System is not recognizing Oneplus 6T completely. It could be lacking in CDMA radios for receiving text messages and sms. Since unlocked Oneplus 6T could be used with Verizon network hence the Verizon network may take some time to add Oneplus 6T in their System.
