Great Phone – and it DOES connect to Verizon’s network!
This is a great phone. I had no issues getting it connected to Verizon’s network. I took the phone to a local Verizon store on May 1st 2022 (not a Verizon reseller) and the sales woman who helped me there was great. I saw other reviewers that said they had issues getting it connected to Verizon’s network. The phone has 2 sim card slots one for CDMA and one for GSM. You need to make sure the Verizon sim card is in the appropriate sim slot in order to get the phone to connect. The GSM slot (AT&T’s network) was actually easier to get to as it was on top, and we had to try both slots to figure out which one was the correct CDMA slot. If you are working with Verizon and the phone doesn’t connect, make sure you try both sim slots.

This is not an active replacement, after enduring a week junk
So this phone is unlocked and does require a little navigating to get it to work on ATT. Make sure Sims is in the right slot #1. Link it to the proper network, information on Google how to. This is not like your active phone if that is what you are hoping but is an OK replacement.So after a week I’m changing my review, this phone is junk, trash, on par with Trac phone, but less quality. These so called “new” phones are used did not even clear the history or delete previous files (super sorry Debra hope you man gets over his porn addiction) cashe completely full. Want maps better buy one. 4gLTE on this device is dial-up my samsung galaxy active8 is faster in same location and has not been updated in 18months. Don’t worry about an otter box ships back to Amazon just fine the way it is. From 4 stars when first started to 1 after a week, did I mention deleting files? Debra don’t throw stones in a glass house your porn was still in history. Third week in they misspelled POS and put PRO slightly better than a Trac phone until u turn the Trac phone on then blows this phone out of the water. Nonstop network resets and contact losses are what u pay for.

This is an industrial grade phone.
This is an industrial grade phone with a user replaceable battery and there may be some sacrifices in the features to achieve that level of durability. There appear to be 4 different versions of this phone in the US. The SM-G715A is ATT only and is currently listed on the ATT website as compatible. The SM-G715V is Verizon only. The SM-G715U is supposed to be unlocked but ATT does not currently list it as compatible on their website. It is supposed to work on Verizon. This might account for some of the problems that have been reported. It is also possible that the 3G shutdown last year caused problems for any phone, carrier or plan still using it. The SM-G715U1 is factory unlocked with no carrier specific bloatware on the one I received. I put a Page Plus Verizon MVNO SIM into it and it immediately started working with no trouble. ATT specifically lists the U1 model (but not the U) as compatible with ATT but I have not tried it. I ran the IMEI against the T-Mobile compatibility checker and it showed compatible but have not tried it. None of the Galaxy Xcover PRO models appear to be compatible with Spectrum Mobile available only to Spectrum internet customers. Although Spectrum advertises a BYOD option and runs on Verizon, they only accept a limit number of higher end phones and this isn’t one of them. Bottom line seems to be if you want an XCover PRO that is compatible with most providers and carriers, get the U1 model but check with your cell provider first. You might have to pay a little extra for this one. If you only need Verizon or ATT you might save money with the carrier specific “V” or “A” versions or even the “U” version for Verizon. The factory box should be marked with the model and you can always check the “About Phone” option under “Settings” for the exact model if there are problems activating. Running the IMEI against the provider or carrier’s website or contacting your provider and have them check it should also work but of course you have to have the phone in hand to do either one. When buying a phone off the internet, the option to return it if it doesn’t work or is not as advertised is something to consider.

I like the removable battery, dual SIMM, and SD card slots.
One of the only “new” smartphones that can still be purchased that have the following features: removable battery, dual SIMM card slots, and a slot for an SD card. Overall, very happy with the purchase. Wish there were more options for phone covers but it seems fairly durable compared with other smartphones. Also, I miss the raised button at the bottom of my previous Samsung Galaxy S7.

Great phone! Older model with newer model updates.
This model is older but includes updates from the 6 pro, like the headphone jack. I absolutely love this phone! Might not have 5G, but neither does most of the places I actually travel to in the states. Willing to bet this phone will definitely last me until 5G is a commonplace as 4G is now, then I’ll upgrade to the 6 Pro that includes it at a steep discount like this new XCOVER Pro was. $300 for a more than capable, durable and stylish phone. Some reviews are misleading, wireless charging is not included on this model but is very easily(and hella cheaply) added. The back plate is removable with just a finger nail so adding wireless charging, a new extended battery or just dealing in an extra battery for power when charging is unavailable is very easy. Very durable and ip68 rated so a great first phone for your kids or great for us clumsy folk that are 30-40+yr old kids.
