WiFi Calling coming to India on Jio - Google Pixel Questions & Answers

https://twitter.com/GoogleIndia/status/851347720828858368
Google India has tweeted this. How many of you actually use Pixel on Jio?

I do...I have enabled wifi calling...but dont think it works yet...waiting for the update

Any update on the wifi calling update?

Its been updated with 7.1.2 however you should be connected either to Jio hotspot (Device) or Jio public wifi hotspot. Doesn't work with any other wifi network providers.

Then it is laughable. Who is going to use Jio hotspot device at home if there is already poor signal? Kinda defeats the purpose of wifi calling. If jio public wifi hotspot is present, it is likely to be in an open public place where 4G reception will be better.
So I was like :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

True, but i believe thats how it works, cos Jio4GVoice app works in a similar way, either with Jio Hotspot or Jio Public Wifi Hotspot, or Jio net (Mobile data). :fingers-crossed:

Can anyone confirm if this works on any other network's Wi-Fi, if not this is same as iPhone Wi-Fi Calling setting which was present since Jio's beginning but did nothing. Was that boasting on twitter Google?
I remember reading an article about this when bsnl tried to launch an app for calling from your landline number and was blocked before going public as Indian laws need caller identity from where the call is initialized.
Even on JioFi, you can only call with app from the number in JioFi sim, so kind of not exactly WiFi calling. You can't​ call from your number in your Phone.

I can confirm that Jio doesn't have Wifi calling or VoWifi enabled yet. I have confirmed it with the CC and a friend who works with Jio.
Doesn't work on JioFibre either. I have tried using an iPhone 6s Plus.

This should finally be coming sooner now as DOT has finally given all the necessary approvals. Jio has already done the trials last year so it should just be an easy switch.

Jio Volte Calling Feature in Custom Rom

jio volte calling feature doesn't work in any custom rom. can u guys please develop to enable volte in any custom rom ?? please eagerly waiting .
dayum r u serious????
This has been mentioned what seems like a hundred times recently...
VoLTE works with most carriers on custom ROMs, but not Jio.
We don't know why Jio VoLTE works on stock and not custom ROMs, it seems to be something at the RIL (Radio Interface Layer) that is proprietary to Moto and/or non-standard.
The only way this will work is if you find a developer with sufficient experience in troubleshooting RIL issues (rare), that has the device, has Jio service, and the drive to do it.
Why is this so important? Can you not make and receive calls on the "standard" 3G service of Jio?

No, jio services are only LTE service provider. They are not licensed to provide other than LTE. That's why they are giving only VoLTE services as for now so you can't access 2g or 3g network to call.

I don't think changing carrier happens, because they are giving unlimited internet, unlimited call and unlimited SMS for free at 0 ₹( $) cost so stay stock and stuck.

SMS also are being sent on the back of the 4g network of Reliance JIO...
I faced this issue as i was on RR rom on my Moto G3 Turbo edition and then realised
no CM based rom has VOLTE support... at least not for Moto...
I was getting the same problem as others,, you had to dial 1977 to activate all the free unlimited
offers and you couldnt hear sound from the opposite side since the call was going through normal
carried signal and not VOLTE...
I flashed stock rom and immediately it showed VOLTE in the status bar... Activated using 1977
and enjoying unlimited CALLING over LTE, data UNLIMITED ... and UNLIMITED SMS

I never tested it or said it would work, just that the 3GPP standard supports it, meaning I was acknowledging my previous comment was incorrect.
Jio is the exception, or maybe forerunner, here... They may be the first VoLTE *only* service in the world, every other carrier uses a mixed system to my knowledge. We are bound to see some issues with devices and roms because they have never had to deal with this circumstance before.

In our device we can't get to work jio join app for calling function, it recognises as Volte device so calling is disabled for our device.
In coming days they are going to release new version which is going to have support only video call option for our or Volte devices.
Try this. Worked nicely for me.

WiFi calling enabled?

Anyone know if the US or international models have WiFi enabled calling? I am ready to switch from Sammy to Weiwei if it does. :silly:
No support that I can see on the international version (used in UK). VoLTE is there for Three here though (not EE).
No wi-fi calling, Wi-Fi calling is carrier specific and you're not going to find that on any unlocked phone

He asked about Wi-Fi calling on the mate 9, not band 12 or VoLTE which is what the link you posted is referring to, not even close to the same thing. The mate 9 does not support W-Fi calling, no way around it. Probably never going to have it unless they implement T-mobiles IMS settings. There are a few unlocked phones that support it, but really all that means is that they cooked t-mobiles settings into their rom, and if you read there are not really all that many that are actually certified by t-mobile mobile to actually work properly.

Yes the Mate 9 is not supported, but there are many "unlocked" phones that T-Mobile doesn't sell on that list that support WiFi calling on the network (i.e. Axon 7, Pixel, Nexus, LeEco S3, OnePlus, etc.). That was the point of my response......
ok, on my phone (MHA-L29/B197 EU version) i was able to set a link for W-Lan calling with Create Shortcut app! Search for "wi-fi calling" in app area "observe activities ->dangerous"!!

Honor 6X VoLTE ?

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...

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.

WiFi calling on Verizon?

Anyone know IF WiFi calling can be enabled on the Verizon network? I know it's enabled through my carrier (coming from Pixel 3 XL)
I am very interested in this as well. Have zero cell coverage at my job, but amazing wifi coverage.
That and a way to do wifi texting, but I think I may have to dig around for that one.

i think WiFi texting is tied to WiFi calling they really handicapped the device on Verizon's network. All it can do is essentially make and receive calls...
I know the T-Mobile version can on T-Mobile, but it's there anything that keeps the unlocked version from doing it on T-Mobile? I may switch if that's the case.
I love this phone so much I may have to switch to T-Mobile.

I did figure out a way to 'make' the option appear using a newer verizon of the Oneplus Logkit apk...(dial *#800#, pick Oneplus Logkit>Function Switch> VoWifi Switch). But after enabling it, it doesn't seem to work yet, and it somehow seems to break MMS if it's on. Not sure if they are actually working on it or not, but I wish someone could see if they could get it working. I think I got the APK from here, but I can't remember from where, so whoever you are, I'm sorry for not crediting you. If someone wants to mess around with it...by all means.

Install the Verizon Messages (Message+) and you should be able to do wifi texting. I tried the log kit as well and it doesn't seem like VOWifi is working but it is hard to tell. I can make Wifi calls using Google Voice and that number but only if not in Airplane mode. Seems to be a bug as it says to turn off airplane. Voice then proceeds to make a wifi call. Maybe the same effect with regular VOWifi where it would use wifi if there is no cell signal.

I actually switched to t-mobile, and voice over wifi, wifi texting and all that showed up and work great. Message+ does not allow wifi texting on Verizon on this phone, tier 2 support said development phones (that's what the OP7 is certified under) are not eligible to use advanced features on the network, including, voice over wifi, video calling and text over wifi using Verizon messages.
I got text over WiFi to work with Verizon messages + and use Google Hangouts over WiFi for the calls. Decent enough work around.

By default HD must be on to make and receive calls.
I don't know about WiFi calling. Never had a desire to use it or a need.

Yeah, VoLTE works but not VoWifi. Even when manually adding the option to turn VoWifi on, it doesn't work. I get crap service in my house but great service outside my house. I asked tech support about Wifi Calling and if it was provisioned on my account, but I was told if the phone can do it, the option will appear. I told them it can and it was working for another carrier. They said they don't know why it's not working. I didn't have time to stay and troubleshoot the issue though. Luckily the tech support person offered me an LTE Network Extender 2 for free. I have to wait until 10/16 for them to get more in stock though.

Verizon does not allow Wifi calling on devices it does not sell. So a Note 10 from Verizon has Wifi calling but an Unlocked Note 10 does not.
