Oneplus 8 approval by o2

[JeremyW61]

I am buying a OnePlus 8 pro direct since O2 aren't selling it.
It says on the OnePlus site to ensure the carrier has approved the phone for it's network. How can I find out if O2 has approved this phone?

Thanks

Hi @JeremyW61 

O2 won't be stocking it or supporting it for 5G either. (according to this thread, where the same question was asked) https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/O2-Gurus/oneplus-8-20pro/m-p/1333715/highlight/true#M1224

Thanks for responding. I think the thread generally confirms that the handset will function on O2.

I'm not bothered about 5G right now, I just want to buy the phone

I would go ahead.

I've just been on the One Plus forum and according to them O2 will support it's 5G version.. So now  you need to check it out for yourself @JeremyW61
