Yes, all TRIPLTEK models work as a SMARTPHONE to receive and place calls.
Sometimes the T8 and the T9 PRO show incorrect information on the Verizon list of devices. You can ask Verizon to provide a SIM card activated for a Samsung phone.
If Verizon still asks for an IMEI number please contact us at [email protected], we will provide you an IMEI number.
You can watch an installation video here:
