WiFi Calling - Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion

I contacted Essential support and asked if the phone would support WiFi calling. They responded yes but to contact the carrier to make sure. I am currently on Verizon so I contacted Verizon and they said yes it did support WiFi calling. I was a bit skeptical but I had the agent verify the phone model number. Hopefully this is accurate. I finalized my pre-order right after.
I would take this for what its worth until we have the device in our hands and can make sure. I just thought I would share.

Verizon
Thank you for contacting the Verizon Wireless Chat Team regarding your device. How can we help you today?
You
I am thinking of buying the new Essential phone. I was wondering if it will support WiFi-Calling on Verizon
You
https://www.essential.com/
Verizon
That is a great question I will be glad to look into that for you today
You
It says it will support Verizon. I would like to know if it supports the WiFi Calling on Verizon. My signal is very poor at my house and work.
Verizon
Understood let me double check on the WiFi calling feature
You
thank you
Verizon
My pleasure
Verizon
I do see here that WiFi calling is supported so you will perfectly fine to utilize that feature with Verizon
You
WiFi Calling is supported on the Essential Phone? What else does it say about the Essential phone?
Verizon
I can only view tech reports so I do see that the WiFi calling is supported any other questions I would need them to be specif so that I can search
You
I am just trying to make sure we are talking about the same device.
You
I see the model listed as: Essential PH-1
You
is that the same thing you have?
Verizon
While following the link this is the newest unlocked android the device screen is pretty big yes this is the PH-1
You
ok.. Sounds good.. Thanks for your help.
Verizon
No problem at all, was there anything else that I could assist you with today?
You
Nope. All set.. Have a good one.

Wifi calling
Thank you for posting that...I was looking into this myself and emailed essential, and have not recieved a response yet. Now the question is... Yet this phone, or wait for pixel 2

Exactly my question as well... Anyone have a spec sheet comparison bw this and pixel 2?

Awesome. Hope this is true. Ordered mine, but if Volte and WiFi calling don't work I'll have to send it back.

I don't know how anyone could have an accurate spec sheet comparison for a phone that has not been officially announced yet. It would just be speculation and leaks, which are often wrong.
That aside, I think if one is inclined to compare this phone to the Pixel 2 (as I am), why not just wait? It will be announced soon and then you can make an actual comparison between the two phones. Also hopefully by then the other colors will be available (since I don't like the glossy black or white colors).
Unless you desparately need a new phone now, I don't see the harm in waiting.

Thanks for sharing, I'm on Verizon as well, and I just ordered my essential ph-1. Hope that rep is correct and not just blowing smoke, but at least now I can be optimistic!

So the word on the street from the first folks that got their phone is no WiFi calling for Verizon. If that is the case my phone will be going back.

Hopefully it gets certified soon. Only feature that doesn't work for me on Verizon is WiFi calling. I actually get a bar of LTE in my house so it is ok for now. My ribs iPhone gets no service just like my s8 and pixel. I'm actually shocked I get any service, nobody does where I live.

Visual voicemail won't work either.
Sent from my PH-1 using Tapatalk

I cannot get wifi calling or voicemail (either proper voicemail notification or visual voicemail to work) with Verizon. Everything else seems to work fine.
Does anyone know which default network we should use for Verizon to maximize signal and battery? I am in a fringe area so small differences in reception is a big deal.
Thanks in advance.

HTC lying about AT&T "compatibility"

U11 does not support VoLTE on AT&T
U11 does not support WiFi-Calling on AT&T
U11 does not support Video Call on AT&T
U11 does not support Integrated Visual Voicemail on messages app like it use to on HTC One M7, M8 & M9, you need the stand alone app which is crap...
the phone works for calls data LTE works MMS haven't test yet I don't use them....
Topic: General
Is VoLTE band used by AT&T suppoeted by the U11 and is it available in your area?
Was Wifi Calling verified to be working on your Wifi network on other devices? If it is then could be a faulty software glitch. If not the it could be a blocked port or their service is down.
I'd contact HTC and AT&T and ask them for clarification. HTC had to do testing with AT&T and gotten the approval from them to claim compatibility.
As far Video Calling, that sounds more like a third-party app feature then HTC. I've never known HTC dialer app to support anything like that.
You might have done all of this, but your post doesn't have any thing to show investigations or troubleshooting. Just a rant post.
Help future users out by having details and things that were tried etc.

Volte was working fine on my HTC 10 video call and Wi-Fi calling is been introducedon newest devices on AT&T since galaxy note 4 edge with is couple of years old and it does support both features

I had my suspicions about this as well. An HTC rep told me directly that the U11 is certified to work with AT&T's VoLTE and Wifi Calling. Of course, when they told me that, I turned it around with something along the lines of "Yeah, I know it will support it from a hardware perspective, but AT&T only allows certain approved devices to use those features. Can you say with 100% certainty that the unlocked U11 will actually be allowed to take advantages of those features?" They responded that it would... 100% I still don't believe it, though, and I have a feeling I'll be sending my U11 back within the return period.
All of the same confirmed here.. no wifi calling or VoLTE.. as well as no Band 30 support. What a pain. On AT&T that is.. works fine on TMO.

This is really really sad. I was going to buy the U11 with my Discover card's 1st year double cash back (would have covered the whole cost) that rolls into my account at the end of August... Figured S-OFF / Locked may be available by then too. But after reading about VoLTE and WiFi calling not working on AT&T, I'm having 2nd thoughts. I live in NJ so WiFi calling really isn't super important (we have amazing LTE coverage just about everywhere) but neither working?? That's really super beat man.
I also saw posts on AndroidCentral reporting the same thing, so I believe you guys that this is a real problem. Thread was titled "Where is the WiFi Calling setting?" Although one user said that VoLTE was working on the U11 / AT&T, another verified it does not. As bassoprofundo so accurately explained to the CS rep at HTC, a guy on the other forum thread also referenced how the advanced calling features on the U Ultra, although "supported" by hardware, didn't actually work on AT&T either.
At least the HTC 10 was an awesome enough phone that I don't mind continuing to use it for the next year to come. But still, I hope HTC and AT&T collaborate and get this solved... which unfortunately sounds unlikely. I really like the U11 and I haven't even seen it in person yet.
Plus ViperU is already out. I WANTS.
I'm praying that AT&T / HTC surprises us!!!

Data on LTE is different than VoLTE {Voice Over LTE} basically is VoIP but on a LTE connection don't get things messed up LTE data indeed does work just no VoLTE that means you will not be able to talk and browse at the same time with LTE speeds but 4G does the same thing just on a different speed

Unlocked Google Pixel 2 on AT&T

Anyone running the google pixel 2 on AT&T unlocked? If so thoughts, I've been reading that VoLTE does not work nor does WiFi calling. I have a Samsung S8 that I purchased from Best Buy and I flashed the AT&T firmware to get all this working. I know that this phone is not on AT&T so I doubt there will be a way to flash any firmware since this device is not sold by AT&T.
Anyway, just throwing it out there for feedback from Google Pixel 2 users on AT&T.
I signed up for Android beta, and had VoLTE and HD voice on AT&T, but not wifi calling. I switched back to the Nov security release to see if Bluetooth issues were fixed and those things went away. I have since re-signed up for the beta, but haven't gotten an OTA yet for the next beta, but I'd assume they will come back. So the answer to your question is yes and no....

Thank you for the feedback, this is the only thing that keeps me from buying this phone unlocked. At&T service sucks where I work, so I'm dependent on WiFi calling functionality. I think I may have to switch to Verizon if I really want this phone.
I went back and forth on keeping it vs going back to my HTC One M9 that seemed to work flawlessly.... The Pixel 2 is nice and the battery is sweet, but I feel like the technology goes backwards sometimes with the Bluetooth issues and lack of some casting support. I decided to keep it, in the hopes that the Bluetooth issues will get resolved, and the battery life. I have good AT&T service, so those things I never had, I didn't even know what I was missing.

I have an S8 that I purchased out right unlocked from Best Buy. The phone is good but I get irritated because it runs like a snail from time to time and it drives me insane. A quick reboot fixes it all but then after some use (days) it's starts doing it again. Maybe it's all the dumb Samsung bloatware that slows it down. Which is why I like the clean vanilla UI on the pixel 2.

Not sure. You can test it yourself though. Find another phone (person) on AT&T with a handset that supports HD voice and make a phone call - making sure you're in well covered LTE area.
You will see "HD" displayed on you Pixel 2 screen under the name of the person you're calling.

Wifi calling UK?

Does anybody know if the OP6 will support Wifi calling? More specifically in the UK?
I think someone once mentioned to me that the OP5 had Wifi calling on Three UK?
I would also like to know this answer.
I'm with three UK, and had WiFi calling on my Note8.
Unfortunately nothing has come-up on the OP6.
Will keep you updated.

Is the option there? User above has shown Wifi calling option is certainly there and works with O2.
I have Wifi calling on my Honor View 10 and that works with Three.
As OP6 doesn't appear to need special firmware to have Wifi calling, unlike say a Samsung S9+ - I would assume it's there?

Not the point we're trying to make. The option for Wifi Calling in menu will be there regardless of whether the operator supports it. Some phones need a firmware from the operator to see it. But shouldn't be the case with the OP6 as there are no other firmwares, it's independent.
Nokia 3/5 - has Wifi calling option (as does iPhone) whether operator supports it or not.

That's worrying, I rely on WiFi calling in my flat right now since I get no signal at all (very thick concrete walls).
WiFi calling works flawlessly on Three on my iPhone, so if it turns out Three doesn't support it on the OP6, I might have to switch to O2/EE, both of whom have WiFi calling that works with OnePlus.
I actually went on live chat with Three a few days ago to complain about the lack of signal and WiFi calling not working on some Android devices - they first said to just use the Three inTouch app, to which I said it is garbage and barely works half the time. Eventually they caved in and gave me a £3 discount on my monthly bill. When I didn't accept that, they gave me £4... and then £5. Eventually they sent me over to the complaints team who gave me credit on my account equivalent to 2 months worth of bills and said I can cancel the contract free of any charges whenever I want.
Point is, if WiFi calling doesn't work on the OP6, go and complain to live chat, you'll get a discount on your contract or even better... and do not accept the initial offer they give you.

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.

Thanks again!
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.

Does wifi calling work on T-mobile?

I know in the past, the only way to get wifi calling on T-mobile was to buy the phone directly from them with the feature pre-installed. Unfortunately, T-Mobile isn't selling the 4a, so that's not an option. Can anyone confirm or deny whether wifi calling works (or can be made to work) with a T-mobile sim?

Good deal. Just got mine the other day and really enjoying it. Got bored with my iphone pro. Just for your reference I took a screenshot of the settings.
Got it yesterday and can confirm that yes, wifi calling does work on t-mobile out of the box.
