I'm on T-Mobile, but I would rather buy the International version of the S7 to eliminate bloatware and to have the Exynos processor, not to mention the unlocked S7 is cheaper. However, I would like to use VolTE and Wi-Fi calling too. Will I have these features if I buy the international unlocked version?

I've never had any of my unlocked phones support WiFi calling or VoLTE, only T-Mobile branded phones did.
you will probably have to flash the t-mobile roms from your country (I guess states?!). If you get a exynos S7 and some t-mobile usa branded roms for that VoLTE and WiFiCalling shouldn't be a problem. Getting those roms for the SM-G930F might be your biggest problem.
-Acid
How readily will the roms be available? I remember doing it for my HTC One M7 a few times and it wasn't too bad.
I also thought some phones like the Nexus 6P supported VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling on T-Mobile?
The intl version does not have band 12, wifi calling on TMO, or VoLTE support on TMO.
Don't do it.
Thanks.

oh yeah, and finally, heres the actual samsung product page
http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/mobile-devices/smartphones/galaxy-s/SM-G935FZDABTU
so, there it is...the g935 has band 12...unless samsung is wrong?
Man, those sites provide confusing answers because there's one g935f owner on this forum who has T-Mobile who said it doesn't support VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling.

That's because t mobile used to add their specific code to their phones' firmware. But now they're built into android so they may work.

When you state now they're built in, do you mean in Marshmallow?
I remember reading that's how the Nexus 6p gained the ability to use band 12 LTE support.
http://www.tmonews.com/2015/12/some...nd-12-lte-support-after-android-6-0-1-update/
Unbranded versions of the firmware do not support VOLTE for some inexplicable reason (the feature is there, just hidden), while some carriers do, they even use the same firmware with only a CSC change (like unbranded the XEF French unbranded firmware vs French Bouygues BOG firmware)
There is no T-mobile USA firmware for the Exynos/international variant but there are plenty of European carrier that handle VOLTE and have no branding, just flash the respective firmwares or CSC using ODIN (does not trip knox) which will enable the feature (you may need to perform a factory init to apply the CSC change)
I'm using the latest XEF firmware in my s6 intl 920F. Where do you get the csc to flash to enable these features?

That's right. Not sure about volte, but the wifi calling was added to marshmallow: http://www.phone-probe.com/android-m-features-native-wifi-calling/

That's for nexus devices, Samsung only enables WiFi calling on carrier branded ROM's.
If you buy the unlocked international version, you will not get VOLTE or WiFi calling. You will get band 12.

Isn't this the first Samsung phone that comes with marshmallow?
Before marshmallow, wifi calling had to be added by the carrier to their rom like t-mobile did on moto and samsung phones.
I don't know for sure, just speculating
Can anyone actually confirm who had the Intl version that volte doesn't work

I don't have the s7, but I did have the international note 5. When i received the marshmallow ota, a volte icon appeared in the quick toggles bar. When i tried to click it to turn volte on an error message popped saying that carrier is not supported. I tried both with a T-Mobile and at&t sim.
The s7 may be different, but I highly doubt it.

Anyone have one and can help me? I cannot get LTE on Tmobile no matter what APN settings I use. I know I have LTE here so I know it's not the band.

Yeah don't listen to this guy. The F model is exynos correct? That means no Tmobile software.
The F model you bought might be region locked so it may not work in the USA right now without unlocking it. I know there have been other threads about this not sure if a solution has been found or not.

i have the 955FD model and it works just fine with T-Mobile USA. did you call T-Mobile to ensure your account is provisioned for LTE access? (I assume you're in the USA). where did you purchase your 955F model S8+?

Hey Cortez. Good to hear this as I have the FD as well. Bought it on eBay from a trusted seller and it is region unlocked. I have LTE provisioned. So...i have "4G" and not 4G+ although I have seen both. What do you show and what band are you on?

4G = LTE. Go to SETTINGS>ABOUT PHONE>STATUS>SIM CARD STATUS and you should see LTE under Mobile network type. that's how i determine LTE access... there's also an app name LTE Discovery that can be used to determine which band you're using. by the way, i believe 4G+ is LTE-A, or carrier aggregation, which is faster than standard LTE..

If it drops to H/H+ then you don't have VoLTE. If it stays 4G then you have VoLTE.

It should be if band 12 is supported. VoLTE is software driven also so maybe a custom ROM will add it in. Waiting...

Wouldn't matter on band support. VOLTE should work on all supported LTE bands for T-Mobile. If it drops to H then that means there is not VOLTE support for T-Mobile.

It should be using the Tmobile csc to get Volte support..
I have US and international version, US version supports Volta same sim not supporting in international version... Problem is due to the Csc configured to the international version won't support Tmobile Volta..
Unless we have success in flashing tmobile Csc it won't work same as WiFi calling

Goes back to what I said. Wouldn't matter the band. If the support isn't there which as you pointed out it doesn't support the CSC.

whoops lol. Forgot if F or FD variants of the S8+ uses Exynos 8895, and U.S. models use Snapdragon 835.
Hi all,
Its been a while since I was here and forgive me if this has already been answered but I wasn't able to locate this easily.
I just bought a Pixel and its in the process of being shipped. I know the US version of the phone would support T-Mobile fully (VoLTE and Wifi Calling).
Would the International version be able to support these features as well? I looked that frequency bands and it looks like all T-Mobile related frequency bands are covered under the international band. I don't really care much about the Verizon/Sprint CDMA bands so this is fine but I also hope I don't lose out on these two features.
I hope someone can shed some light on these two concerns of mine.
Thanks,

Hello
I have question... do any of you use it Samsung note 10+ SM-N9750 international unlocked with US carriers?
it's this model samsung unlocked for volte & wifi calling for any US operators? (like, t-mobile, at&t, google fi or for other? )
Thank you
SM-N9750 is a dual sim, unlock work on LTE but you will see 4G, it work in Canada and US however does not support VOLTE, wifi calling, samsung RCS does not work, if you want the RCS you need to download the Google message app, now there is a thread already where you can root the device and enable the VOLTE and wifi calling. hope this help.

From what I understand, you can call Tmobile and register your IMEI with them (unlocked device). After that VoLTE and Wifi calling will work, but not video calling.

Essentially, you will only be able to connect to 1 LTE band at a time, which means you will see slower speeds compared to a US Note10+. Basically, no problem with LTE data but could have slower data speed sometimes compared to US Note10+.

Settings screenies attached. I am using both sims as you can see I have 2 dialing buttons.
AT&T doesn't open up VoLTE and VoWifi to non whitelisted phones, so it only shows on one sim. I just turn the setting off because it doesn't work anyways.

Reviving an old post here...
Are you still using this device and still with AT&T and T-Mobile. Any long term issues or challenges?
I'm on the same carriers; T-Mobile personal (and primary) and AT&T (work). I'm most concerned about VoWiFi and VoLTE on T-Mobile. With AT&T, as long as it rings and I can get texts, I'm good.
Finally, I believe you said further up that you got it on ebay...any chance you recall the seller?
Thanks!

I am not in a rural area or a dense metro area so those do not affect my receptions. Also I mainly use AT&T and switch to T-Mobile for data depending on reception.
Speed wise, it will be slower on benchmarks due to the lack of carrier aggregation (and b29, b30 missing for AT&T), but it doesn't affect my real world usage: chat/email, web browsing, music streaming, remote desktop.

I'm shopping for an s10e. I've done a lot of searching but haven't found anyone specifically saying this will work or not.
Does anyone use T-Mobile in the US and have the international unlocked version?
Does wifi calling work? VOLTE? Anything else you could add?
Thanks!
I think it will work if with VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling you flash the service with the Unlocked (SM-G970U1) firmware. There is a thread that lasts it how to get access to our and flash it on different variants of the S10e. I'm at work so I can't hunt it down for you.
I have international S10e (SM-G970F) and use Ultramobile (MVNO on T-Mobile's network) and both VoLTE and WiFi calling work flawlessly.
