Pixel 2XL Won't Work in Optus/Vodafone Network

Porting out of Boost to Optus/ Amaysim/ Vodafone but apparently Pixel 2XL, using as backup, will not work due to VoLTE requirements or SIM incompatibility.

Anyone still using Pixel 2XL, which mobile provider you're using? Was thinking it's the new SIMs that's also the problem.

    Mobileciti is selling the Pixel 2 XL with a warning for networks other than Telstra so it is possibly incompatible with Optus and Vodafone networks.

  • I was previously on the Amaysim PAYG Plan, but since the 3g shutdown, have ported over to Aldi Mobile PAYG and no complaints since.

  • I have kept my Pixel 2XL for backup as well. Good to know that it no longer works.
    Whats hte VoLTE requirement? I thought Pixel 2XL had VoLTE already?

  • I think it's something to do with Optus/Vodafone having to whitelist devices since the 3G shutdown. I assume the Pixel 2XL wasn't in that list.

    Sounds similar to the issues with the OnePLus Nord 4 which was described in the comments here.
