When OnePlus announced the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro last week, it was discovered that 5G support was only available for T-Mobile customers. That’s because OnePlus hadn’t gotten certification from either AT&T or Verizon to use their 5G networks, and while it doesn’t look like folks subscribed to the former will ever get 5G on the devices, Verizon customers will now be able to use 5G thanks to the carrier adding support for the phones.
George Koroneos, a PR manager at Verizon, confirmed the news in a tweet. Koroneos also noted how the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro will work on Visible as a result.
I'm psyched to announce that the @OnePlus 9 Pro & OnePlus 9 have been certified to work on @Verizon & @Visible. That means you can buy it from your fav retailer and know that it will work great on Verizon 5G. Visit https://t.co/iPWwLCbRrn when you get your new phone to activate. pic.twitter.com/SK6eUyhJFK

Notably, the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro will be able to utilize sub-6GHz 5G on Verizon’s network, while the 9 Pro exclusively gets mmWave support. Verizon isn’t selling either device directly, but you can buy them from OnePlus unlocked and slide your SIM card inside.
