GF has a pixel 3 and there is no option to add an esim anywhere. No, it's not a verizon phone. I understand there's no DSDS, we just want to use a travel esim with the sim card removed. The phone is unlocked, I can use any other provider sim. I have a 3a from the same provider (Koodo, Canada) and esim functions are enabled. I am roaming with DSDS and absolutely loving it.
I rooted the phone and enabled setprop persist.vendor.radio.multisim_switch_support true. I know it's not really working in android 10, but I wanted to see if it enabled my esim. I was able to enable DSDS using *#*#4636#*#* but still no way to add an esim.

Can anyone confirm that the 920i S6 does not have the VoLTE setting?
My device is rooted and I tried to enable the hidden features using the guide on xda.. I managed to enable several of them... but alas! didn't work for VoLTE.
I am using Tmobile SIM with this device and I would like to have VoLTE on it.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

What bands are you not able to get with that model? Looking to get the F or the I for T-Mobile and AT&T... Thanks
I have the G920I as well and I can confirm that I don't have the option to turn VoLTE on or off.
I will try a different SIM card later on and see if I will have the option to toggle VoLTE. My iPhone 6 didn't have the option until I inserted a VoLTE SIM card.\
Edit: I tried my VoLTE supported SIM and I managed to get the VoLTE toggle to show. I'll attach a picture.

I'm getting ready to buy an I or F, so all you need is a VoLTE sim card? Is that different than the nano sim that at&t will issue me when I go into the store?
I have no idea about how AT&T does things. But if their network and phone supports VoLTE I don't see a reason they won't let you use VoLTE.
And BTW, both my carriers support VoLTE, just that one of them let's me toggle it while the other one doesnt.
Can CDMA phones (such as for verizon) be activated, then SIM card transferred to another phone then activate the phone again with a different SIM from a different carrier or does the ESN for the physical phone get registered to the carrier and will only work with that carrier's SIM?
Basically, I want to activate a BYOD phone for Xfinity that they won't activate because they don't support it but I know the phone will work so I was going to buy a used Samsung S8, activate the SIM, transfer to the other phone then resell the S8.

You might be able to do part of that. If you use a Verizon device to activate a SIM, in theory, you could transfer the SIM to a different device to activate that device on your Verizon account. But you would not be able to activate the Verizon device with a SIM from another carrier unless the Verizon device has been carrier unlocked, otherwise, it is locked to Verizon only and will only work with a Verizon SIM on the Verizon network.
To do what you are doing, you could get an unlocked phone that is supported by Xfinity, then activate that device with a Xfinity SIM then put the SIM from that device in the device that you are trying to activate. After you're set, sell the dummy device that you used to activate the Xfinity account/service/SIM.

No wifi calling option on S10E (SM-G970U1)
Model: SM-G970U1
Andriod 10: one UI: 2.1
G970U1UEU4DTF3
Using MVNO ATT SIM.
No wifi calling option to turn off/on in the dialer app, no VoLTE. MVNO said I am confirmed to enable both options though.
Is this an ATT sim restriction for unlocked/non ATT devices? I did plug in my wife's att sim card and was able to get LTE+ but no wifi-calling. This isn't a branded ATT S10E.

I have an Unlocked S10e (U1) and the only way that I could get those AT&T features was to flash the "U" firmware AND the AT&T User Data file that has all of that crappy bloatware. I also used my old AT&T SIM card that had been in AT&T's system for years on previous phones. I had to do the same thing with my Note10+ too.
Another S10e that I have is still on U1 firmware & I just popped in a T-Mo SIM with no problems. Wifi calling etc. Work except I needed to download a visual voicemail app. Otherwise working great.
AT&T makes it so difficult!
It was a must for me because I have poor AT&T service where I live & need wifi calling.

Thank you, that is what I expected from ATT. I will switch to verizon MVNO. I don't want to have an unlocked phone, only to be forced to install carrier bloat.
Hi everyone,
I own a N9860 (Hong Kong version) but the 5G bands are not compatible with Canadian carriers, who use N66 and N71.
I'm weighing up returning this phone and getting a Canadian variant, but there will be a couple trade-offs:
1. Storage will shrink from 256GB to 128GB
2. Go from dual SIM to Single SIM.
Regarding the dual SIM issue, I need to know if anyone has managed to do this:
1. Flash their N986W with T-Mobile's N986U firmware.
2. Successfully enabled eSIM.
3. Not lost 5G connectivity in Canada.
4. Activated their phone number on the eSIM with Bell.
5. Kept a functional Samsung Pay.
If anyone with experience with these things can share their experience, I would definitely appreciate it!
Looks like I have to reply to my own question!
So here are my findings:
1. Yes, flashing from N986W to N986U (TMB) can be done without a hitch using Prince Comsy.
2. A greyed-out eSIM IMEI appears in About Phone.
3. No SIM card manager in Settings ==> Connections.
4. No EID in Settings ==> About ==> SIM Status (or anywhere else), and Bell cannot enable eSIM without it.
5. TMB 5G doesn't use N66! Flash with your own CSC to get the right bands enabled.
6. It's a long story, but I couldn't verify that 5G works, even with my own CSC, since my plan wasn't properly set up for 5G when I tested all this.
7. Samsung Pay appears to work just as well as the Canadian variant, including with debit cards.
At the end, it was a lesson learned in futility. Hopefully, Samsung Canada will properly enable eSIM sometime before this device is EOL.
Does the original ROM of the pixel 2 support dual sim functionality with the esim?
Does LOS support esim function at all? I cannot find something in settings, but have never used esim before. And does that mean I can use the usual sim and esim at the same time, so a real dual sim function?
