So even though the wi-fi calling feature, as shown to me by Best Buy store personnel, can be turned on from the settings, you say that the wi-fi calling does not work? Have you tried to turn it on? Thanks
Wi-Fi Calling / T-Mobile
How do you turn it on in Settings? I can't seem to find it.
There is no Wi-Fi calling feature in settings. At least none I can find. I'm in the US using an FRD-L04 from Best Buy.
I don't have the phone so I can't walk you thru it. But guy at Best Buy definitely showed me the feature on the Honor 8 that was on display. It was right there in the settings, I just can't recall exactly under what heading.
Not sure what the Best Buy rep did to show you, but I'm positive our Honor 8 doesn't have WiFi calling.
There's no WiFi calling... Maybe he showed u a different phone..

Hi There, we appreciate your question regarding Wi-Fi calling on the Honor 8. Since Wi-Fi calling is carrier specific, you will need to reach out to T-Mobile and ask about what their plans offer in terms of Wi-Fi capabilities. Hope that helps! (NS)

I have a feeling I know the answer to this, but is there any way to enable VoLTE on the unlocked version, notably on the Rogers network in Canada?
Thanks

Only if you have a 4G sim card and your network provider support this on your tariff

Ok thanks. That would be a yes on all of those (as it worked on my GS7 quite well) so is it just an option in the settings? If so I can't find it..?

Settings-->More-->Mobile network-->VoLTE calls. Enable that. If LTE stays connected when making a call you have VoLTE.

Thanks but that's what I originally feared: there is no VoLTE option anywhere in there..? I had done a search too and nothing pops up.
Rummaging through the internet, I found an article saying the unlocked version (mine) would NOT have VoLTE. No sure how accurate that was.

Are you connected to Wind by any chance? I don't think that network has volte yet. I think Rogers purchased them.
No, I'm on Rogers and I can confirm I had VoLTE before on my Galaxy S7, so it's neither the network or my account the issue.

Very weird. Maybe ask your carrier to check provisioning for your device. What bands does your carrier use for VoLTE?
it should be supported bu carrier it self , not only the phone ! check with them !
Well after some investigating, I have an answer: Rogers only support VoLTE on Apple, LG and Samsung devices...
This is really unfortunate but it's one last thing missing from the Honor 8 to make it my daily driver. It's an excellent device and I was very impressed for the price tag, but not having wireless charging, VoLTE and 4k video made me realize how much I actually use it.
Thanks for the help guys!

Anyone using the Honor 8 on US Tmobile and having issues with VOLTE? I see the setting is set but I don't get VOLTE when I make a call, it drops to 4G and no web browsing is available because data speed drops.
I stopped using VoLTE awhile back, I have an Honor 8 [Emui 5] and I have used T-Mobile for a very long time.

So you do NOT get VOLTE? What FW version are you on?
Has Huawei/Honor indicated any support for Wifi calling in future updates?
I get VOLTE on Honor 8. FRD-L04 model. I'm stock rooted EMUI 4.1.

It says 4GLTE while I'm on a call in the status bar.
VoLTE works great on T-Mobile for my Honor 8.
Honor 8 T-mobile has issues with VoLTE. When you call another Tmobile, it makes call continously for 15 to 18 times. I stopped using VoLTE.
works, no only if they can send and update to get wifi calling working

I'm using my FRD-04 on metro pcs and voLTE works fine for me. Not sure if this helps.

I am using TMobile and Honor 8 EMUI 5. Yes, I have VoLTE turned off now as enabling it fails to call other TMobile numbers.
Is there any disadvantage over turning off VoLTE? What do I lose?

That's bizarre. I have no issues with that.
One disadvantage would be if you're in a band 12 area. The phone will have to drop to the old network to make a call. The old network may not have as good a signal.
Hold the power button until the device hard reboots. This fixes weird call issues for me.
Does this provide VoLTE support out of the box ?
or should we wait till the VoLTE update ?
It depends on the carrier you have, when it approves it, then honor should push a Volte enabled OTA (like it did with th 5x)
Just off topic, nowadays with a lot of messenger apps supporting video chat, I see less and less benefits of using VoLTE...

You're absolutely Right, I don't use VoLTE at all

If there is only LTE support from a particular network, then without VoLTE you cant make calls.
There is app for speaking calls in LTE in case of JIO network. But still we don't want that app.
I like to use the normal inbuilt dialer rather than that app.
Also, if that app is closed, we cant receive calls. So VoLTE is necessary to supports mobile networks which doesn't support to 2G or 3G and solely having only 4G LTE.

Any company that only holds a data connection then that company really is just not cut out for the smartphone market. Sure you can use Skype or some other data calling app and with the next upgrade is coming and lte is soon be be by the wayside.

Since the company is giving out free data of 1 GB everyday, it is like revolution over here in India. So people are preferring mobiles with VoLTE out of the box to be the part of that network.

You will be limited in your choices. This is a very Niche thing so your best bet would be to look at devices that target India. Looking at devices for anywhere else in the world and you will be hard pressed to find anything.

Hello,
Has anyone figured out how to turn on VOWIFI on the Oneplus 7 pro yet. I found info for the 6T but I don't have the options. See link below for reference.
https://www.onetechstop.net/2018/12/30/how-to-get-volte-and-wifi-calling-on-a-oneplus-6t-on-atts-network/
It should work automatically, once you insert your sim card (and if it's provisioned for VoLTE).
Also, see this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/help/volte-oneplus-phones-t3931727
Yeah, worked automatically for me on Three UK

Have you figured this out yet? Made an account here just to ask the same question Got my 7 Pro today and VoWiFi/WiFI Calling (mentioning both to help people who search for WiFi Calling) works OOB with my Three UK SIM, but my primary SIM is Vodafone and no luck - on the 6 and 6t I had to do the *#800# thing and it worked perfectly, but the menu options have been removed from the 7 Pro :crying:.

A little heads up though to get anything other than WiFi working I did have to go into the SIM settings and turn on mobile data as well as enable VoLTE and VoWiFi, not sure if that was related to activating it on release day or because it's the global model on T-Mobile (didn't really look into it since it was just flipping 3 settings then everything just worked).
