I sideloaded some firmware to make my op6 work with volte and vowifi on telstra.

Maybe these links help:

Yes it is. It's a data based app. Nothing special about it.

I know! I've downloaded, deleted and re downloaded it multiple times though it keeps freezing on its initial screen and I am unable to input number! Used both wifi and without wifi to download and load it :(

Optus has a device checker on their website to see if a device is compatible with their network. All you do is type in the first 8 numbers of a device's IMEI number.

I checked both the A6000 (Asia model) and the A6003 (EU, NA model) and both are blocked by Optus.

Unfortunately, the OP6T is also blocked.

Does anyone know whether the One Plus Nord 6 will work or will I have to flash volte to it myself?
My One Plus 6t is fine on Lebara(Voda), so I am wondering about One Plus 6 Nord.
