In this guide, we will show you the steps to fix the issue of Mobile Network not working on your OnePlus 8/8 Pro/8T running OxygenOS 12 based on Android 12. The devices from this Chinese OEM stood out from its competitor in one crucial aspect- it had probably the best underlying OS skin. Dubbed OxygenOS [or HydrogenOS in China], it had maintained a rich balance between features set and the device stability. However, it was pretty hard for OnePlus to digest this praise.
Hence it took one of the most questionable decisions to date by ditching its in-house OS for Oppo’s ColorOS. Not only is this OS bloated with tons of bloatware, the OnePlus 9 users also had to go through a slew of bugs and issues while installing it. Among them, the inability to make or receive calls was probably the most concerning issue. Likewise, they weren’t able to use the carrier data either. Well, history seems to have repeated itself.
Many OnePlus 8/Pro/8T users who have installed the latest OxygenOS 12 update are facing network-related issues. And as was the case with its successor, the 8 series users are also on the same boat. They are unable to place and receive calls and messages or use the carrier data. Well, as before, we managed to get hold of its fix this time around too. So without any further ado, let’s get started with the steps to fix the Mobile Network not working issue on your OnePlus 8/8 Pro/8T running OxygenOS 12 based on Android 12.
Fix Mobile Network not working on OnePlus 8/Pro/8T after OxygenOS 12 Android 12
As was the case with the OnePlus 9 series, this issue is only bugging the OnePlus 8 series that has Visible (a Verizon MVNO) as their carrier. So to rectify it, you will have to create four new APNs on your device and add them. Apart from that, you will also need a SIM from another carrier (activated or not doesn’t matter). This SIM will only be used for around 5 minutes. Is there any downside to this workaround? Well, your carrier will now be identified as Verizon and not Visible.
If you enter your IMEI number across both these websites, Verizon will show it as compatible whereas Visible wouldn’t. But you will be able to send and receive calls/messages or use carrier data without any issues. And for me, that was the top-most priority. If you also echo this thought, then let’s get started with the steps to fix the Mobile Network not working issue on your OnePlus 8/8 Pro/8T running OxygenOS 12 based on Android 12.
Instructions Steps
- To begin with, head over to Settings > WiFi & Network.
- Then go to SIM & Network and select your SIM from the list.
- After that, go to Access Point Names and tap on the Plus icon.

- Once all the four APNs have been created, select the Visibile Internet APN.
- After that. remove your Visible SIM card from your device and enter a SIM card of any other carrier.
- Once the network bar appears, remove that SIM card and re-insert your Visible SIM card.
- Finally, it is recommended to toggle the Smart 5G switch a couple of times to refresh it.
