Here is a link to another XDA area regarding enabling WiFi calling on the Pixel when using Verizon Wireless.
https://www.xda-developers.com/enable-preferred-wifi-calling-option-verizon-pixel-pixel-xl/
Has anyone tried this trick? Did it work?
Thanks!
Trying to query the variable shows it as "null", so no love there. I wish I could get WiFi calling working as well on AT&T. VoLTE is working great, but that's it.

Just tried it. No love.
Darn it!
So I wonder what Essential did not do that Google did... I wonder if the module could be pulled over...

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.
Does it work on T-Mobile?

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.
Hi everyone, I'm creating this thread because for a while now I've been trying to use mobile hotspot and it doesn't seem to connect. When toggle hotspot on it turns on then shuts off. I go into HotSpot settings and try to turn it on that way and it tells me that I need to contact my carrier. I'm on AT&T. I was wondering if anybody else have this problem.

I have the same issue, I use Cricket as my carrier and the Pixel 2 isn't on their list of "officially supported hotspot devices." My S7 edge however would work just fine because it's on that list. I've been meaning to go to the Cricket store and see if there's anything they can do but there probably isn't. If you aren't afraid of rooting your shiny new device there's a stack exchange article on how to enable it on the Nexus 6P running Oreo 8.1. I don't know of any reason why that same method wouldn't work on the Pixel 2.
PS it won't let me post the link to the article because I'm a "new" user. Sorry.

I have an unlocked Pixel 3 on the ATT network. Very happy with the phone thus far with only one issue. When trying to enable the hotspot I get an error stating "To enable go to att.com/my wireless or dial 611". I do have hotspot on my plan and I have modified the APN with ATT's suggested parameters. I did a web search and saw some had the same issue on the Pixel 2 but could not find a solution. Any help?

Ok phone Verizon and they were able to fix it. Apparently all they had to do is turn the feature off and back on

What did you say to Verizon when you called? I just spoke with them and they turned off the hotspot feature, then re-synced the network settings and it's still doing the "Connected, no internet". Did you have them change anything else or change any other settings on the phone?
Does anyone have any more information on this issue? I just went in to a Verizon store and watched them disable the feature, rebooted my phone, and still have the same "Connected, no internet" issue. I know the hotspot on my account works since I can put my SIM in my LG V30 and use it fine. Any other suggestions?? It's not a huge deal but I would really like to get the hotspot working
With the latest OOS 9.5.13 the OP 7 Pro is now compatible with Visible Wireless (Verizon MVNO). Everything works, voice, text and data, without having to manipulate APNs or request enabling CDMA-less. Visible hasn't officially made the announcement yet but this is great for anyone who wants to use a Verizon based service for much cheaper than post paid. Anyone else been able to try their drive on Visible?

How do we know it works correctly on a US variant of this phone? Do you have one and is using it on that network?

Just tell the site you're bringing over an iPhone, then it won't check for IMEI. Working great on on my 7 Pro here, didn't have to do anything else once I got the sim.

It varies, but generally fine. Friday I got limited below 1mps when I went downtown. Yesterday I broke 100mbps. Haven't been a situation where it's bothered me yet.

Thanks just wondering since they advertised vowifi I thought maybe they would have standardized it finally.
BTW Google Voice won't work over wifi on the 7Pro like it does on some phones. You have to install Hangouts and Hangouts Dialer and use those with your Google voice number.

Never noticed that about google voice on 7pro....you're correct in airplane mode-need hangouts. Here is the funny thing,if I download Google Voice on my Chromebook it works without Hangouts installed.

Verizon video chat also does not work however that only worked between Verizon Android phones anyway.
Just a head's up - Visible is not currently compatible with Oxygen OS 10 (Android 10). It will not activate. Google Fi is also not compatible. It will activate, but you will lose your mobile data constantly.

No, once you update you will lose service. I took a look at the apn-conf.xml and telephony.db files and all visible entries were removed on Android 10. Attempted to replace the files from 9.5.13 but still didn't work.
Looks Line a reversion issue where 10 was forked before the the fix in 9. Likely it is on the list to fix
