Help with wifi calling - Sony Xperia 5 Questions & Answers

I need help with my Sony.
I'm in Thailand and my operator support wifi calling.
Tested with iPhone and Samsung, and the service there.
But on my Sony X5, I didn't see the menu
Going to the *#*#4636#*#* I saw the WiFi calling provisioned is off and greyed out.
Does a custom ROM will able to enable that options? Or should I go to my Telco provider and check with them

Surf and talk on an N920t overseas

Hi,
Today I found out I can't browse the Internet while on an active call.
I own the Tmo note 5, and am currently (and indefinitely) outside of the US.
I am using a local Sim and not roaming Tmo.
After looking up this subject, I understand I have to enable Volte, not sure if this is the WiFi Calling feature I found. If it is, then I cannot turn it on, I get an "ER05-invalid sim" message.
Any ideas? I could really use some help.
Thanks!
If your trying to enable volte then open the phone app, push 'more' and then settings and there is an option to enable volte. WiFi calling has nothing to do with volte.

4G calling and wifi calling not present

I have a HTC u11 coming from O2 but now sim unlocked. I use it with my EE sim but I can't find a way to have 4g calling and Wi-Fi calling.
Someone could help?
EE support says that 4g calling is enabled on my line.
Looking in settings under call there is no option to enable wifi calling and as well when I make a normal mobile call the phone goes in "H"
Thank you for your help

Haven't you asked this question already? I imagine you are on O2 firmware so it won't work. Did you enable it in the phone settings

VoWifi

Hi!
I'm trying to enable voice over WIFI, my network provider supports it, it was working fine with Iphone6s, now i switched to Note10 and i can't enable this to work.
On the Mi 9 you need certain codes: https://forum.xda-developers.com/Mi-9/how-to/wifi-calling-volte-mi-9-t3917887
Maybe try those and see if you have any luck?
May I ask where you bought your phone and in what country and what network you are trying to use wifi calling?
On the Mi 9 thread, there are reports that wifi calling doesn't work as well with all networks; eg with Vodafone UK the option to prefer wifi over mobile network isn't available, so wifi calling is available only when there is no mobile signal.
Hi. I entered the codes, the option is there, but it's not working. I'm from Slovenija, my operator is Telekom Slovenije, the phone is from Gearbest store...

no volte option

I got the phone today, but I there is no volte option in setting. I had volte options in my oneplus 5t. Is there secret codes to force unable the option? I am on three UK sim.
Other way round for me.
On BT Mobile (and EE) UK I could never get 4G calling on my old XZ2. Xperia5 II plugged in sim and it was a notifications bar quick button and available in settings straight away.
Comes under:
Settings -> Network & Internet -> Mobile > Advanced > Calling
I have made few calls and it seem they were made over 4G because status bar icon didn't change from 4G to 3G so I guess I do have VOLTE enabled but I don't have option in setting.
Further more I checked the info section and the volte provision option is enabled and grayed out. I don't understand why I don't have option for volte but it works for don't care much about it now.
Edit = WiFi calling option is available in setting and it works too.
I have 4G Calling option available for my O2 sim and VoLTE for my Telekom sim. WiFi calling option is also there.
I only get VOLTE option on my UK 3 sim. On my Spanish O2 SIM it's not available (though I know for sure the service is enabled but only for certain devices)

Weird, I am using UK 3 SIM as well and I don't get option for volte but I am able to make calls over 4G. Don't know why is option hidden.
It is activated by standard if technically possible. There is no reason to deactivate it, so no switch is needed.
VoLTE/ Wifi calling are enabled by the operator. Maybe your operator has not certified Xperia 5 ii yet.
Check with your operator
4G Calling is actually VoLTE, so you have it and you are using it already as you stated above. No worries! ?

Hi. I asked in another thread about WiFi calling working for the Xperia 5 II on BT Mobile. If 4G calling works then hopefully WiFi calling too?.
Can you confirm? Thx.

I should have clarified my previous post. The selectable option (quick button and menu) is to turn Wifi Calling on/off. VOLTE/4G calling is just fixed as provisioned. You can see this in the service menu (*#*#4636#*#*)
The service providers are clueless when you ask if they do or don't support Wifi/VOLTE calling.
So yes both available and working on BT Mobile.

That's awesome thank you. You might have just swung a sale for Sony. You should be on commission :laugh:.

No Wifi Calling Toggle in call settings, Anyone know how to enable it ?

I have the european variant LM-V500EM of LG V50 which I was under the impression had a wifi calling / vowifi option. I've used the quickshortcut maker app and can see the option is there in the backend of the settings com.android.settings.Settings$Wifi CallingSettingsActivity. I can even open it and toggle it to on but it doesn't appear to do anything and still won't show in the regular call settings.
I've spoken to a number of UK networks who say it should work and spoken to LG directly who say wifi calling is unavailable for this variant/model and only the EE variant has WIFI calling. It's pretty frustrating that a function which the phone clearly is capable of is unusable.
Has anyone got any workarounds for this as I'm tearing my hair out here and don't want to have to sell the phone as apart from this it's great.
Thanks
I've been in engineering mode *#546368#*500# and SVC Menu / VoWIFI / W-Fi Toggle to ON but wifi calling still doesn't appear in the main settings.
Can this be enabled OTA by the right network carrier eg. EE , 3 etc ?
I've got the same phone, same problem.
