Three UK Pixel 4a 5G Wifi calling and VOLTE? - Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers

Hello to you all. I would like to know if the Pixel 4a 5G supports VOLTE and Wifi Calling on the Three network in the UK. I note that they only list the 4a on their website so my fear is that if I were to purchase a 4a 5G that these network features wouldn't be available.
Many Thanks in Advance

I would assume it would be available if it shows for the 4a5G.
I know here the wifi calling is an option within the settings of the phone but to get volte i had to contact my provider to make sure they have the setting enabled for my service. Only way i can tell if its working is when making a call i see a HD icon. Also if you go to your recent calls within the phone app you can see the HD icon next to the persons name.

Three don't actually do the 4a 5G they just do the 4a so I need someone who can tell me if these features work

suggest you go to Pixel 4a 5g forum for your answer. This forum is for Pixel 4a only, not the 5G version.

Oh I didn't see that there was one for the 4a 5G sorry. That would make more sense if i posted on that forum

I have now got a Pixel 4a 5G and I can confirm that VoLTE and Wifi Calling are both working with this handset on Three UK.

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

Not entirely true. Many unlocked phones support T-Mobile WiFi calling.

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"!!

Wi-Fi calling on Google Fi and OP7 Pro

Time to replace my pixel 2xl and I was looking at the OP7 Pro. The only issue is that I use Google Fi and I depend on wifi calling when I'm at home. I can't seem to find any solid answers as to whether or not the OP7 Pro can do WiFi calling on Google Fi. Does anyone know for sure ? Looking to make my purchase today.
Thanks!
Looking for this answer as well
Thank you for asking this question, running into the same situation.
Also, would anyone be able to confirm if sprint or us cellular connections work? I know it won't change carriers automagically, but I have fi switch, so would like the option of switching if I could.
WiFi calling would be important to me too, since my area is almost entirely Verizon, so limited t-mobile and spring coverage (at least on the pixel xl)
I have a 7 Pro on Google Fi and at the top it says VoLte in the Fi app itself it ask if you want Wi Fi calling enabled .
My App shows Wi-Fi Calling enabled.
Hope this helps. Thanks

Native Video Calling pixel 4a Indian unit

Brother I am also searching for the same thing. Let me know if you figured it out

Volte & 5G Activated on Android 12 Beta

Hello guys,
Finally the good news (at least for us in Saudi Arabia) Google has activated Volte & 5G on the latest Android 12 beta (May.2021)
But i am still waiting for the Vowifi activation
If anyone living in different countries can confirm as well
Thanks.
Update: in Android 12 beta 2 it was disabled again
What a stupid decision making
Good news bro
No change in Belgium (Orange, Proximus) with A12 Beta 1 , no VoLTE, no VoWifi
Same for Portugal(NOS) even on Beta 1 VoWiFi and VoLTE remains locked
VoLTE working here on 3 Austria too, don't have 5G enabled on my plan anymore so can't comment on that.
No luck with kuwait Stc
Anyone tested this in Hong Kong yet?

Is it still working after beta 2 update?
Anyone for uae ?
VoLTE & VoWiFi in Poland still blocked. Tested on Polkomtel and T-Mobile carriers.
It didn't work in Android 11 too...
The same for Orange BE, Proximus: VoLTE & VoWifi not working (A11, A12B2)
And we are in 2nd half of 2021..
I guess if Android 12 does not have the voiceover LTE then moving to root is the only option we all are left with. I am going for iphone anyways once it is confirmed that a basic feature of voice over LTE still does not exist after Android 12. Google pixel has been a terrible experience in advance times.
So there is a July security update which has a voice over LTE support for certain networks. Definitely not Middle East because I tried still not working I think it's just for some USA carriers
I enrolled in beta and on 2.1. Well the request still goes to deaf ears for Google.
Sorry on beta 3 but still no volte. Makes it clear that it's time to move to custom ROM and make the most of use of this phone now.

did you find any custom rom with volte working for you ?
No but I am currently up to two things.
First is that I am on the process of selling this phone on a local classified online.
Second is to check by rooting the phone.
I don't think any of the custom rom supports voiceover LTE by default. You really have to use the magisk by rooting the phone.
Pixel 5 will be totally last Google phone which I bought.
Official build of Android 12 comes this morning to my device, 5G, VoLTE, VoWIFI all these features still LOCKED!
Google is not a company which I can trust anymore.

I finally had time to tinker a little bit with the phone and I did get a VoLTE option on my second SIM until I Emable the dual 5G option and then it goes away. If I disable dual 5G, it comes back. I guess it is operator dependent option as with my Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 I did not had those options initially but after some weeks they showed up first Volte then Vowifi... I do not currently have a Vowifi option on any of the SIM cards that are in the phone but my signal has been better with this phone so might just not activate it until it is low enough...
I guess that when you are on 5G, something like VoLTE is already part of the technology?...
Forgot to mention that the two codes for Volte and VoWifi did not do anything...

Both VoLTE and VoWiFi are operator and phone model dependent.
The phone definitely supports them but since my operator does not have the model added to the supported list for those functions, the options do not appear. My second SIM is on an operator that probably recognizes the phone as I do have the VoLTE option when the network selection is set to 4G/3G/2G/Auto. When I switch to 5G/4G/3G/2G/Auto the option disappears...
I guess operators will need some time to add the model to their white lists...
Update!
VoLTE and VoWiFi now works.
I followed this guide: Link and it worked fine after reboot. At least VoWiFi works now for sure and according to the app, VoLTE is also enabled. I also have the WiFi Calling option in settings.

Hey there is no option in settings. Its automatic based on gsma database settings. So if your network is submitting volte and vowifi to the gsma you will have no issues. Mine is automatically enabled when I put the sim in
Hi
FWIW - just got my Honor Magic VS (Global) from Malaysia. Came off a FOLD 4.
1. The phone "feels" the same as Fold4 and no noticeable difference in quality - except definitely the front screen is much more useable/practical. I did actually catch myself using the front screen a lot more but though the inner screen is 'bigger' i cant say that i've noticed it.
2. Installataion/migration was as easy as Fold4. Trasnferring apps, data was easy and went without a glitch.
3. So far I've only encoutered 3 little annoyances: a) there is no app drawer. So i had to load up Nova and it isworking pretty well (slight glitch'eness but nothing a reset of the app didnt fix and b) my mobile data (australian sim) seems to drop out reasonably often. I've done resetted my apn and it seems to be working fine ... so far. c) The Fold4 allowed me to have a different homescreen configuration (apps, widgets, etc) inner vs outer screen. I dont believe that VS allowes me to do this?!
So far pretty happy - there is no doubt that fold4 software is better - but hard to articulate why ... but notwithstanding, Honor is not far behind.
Best ... .

Thanks. I can confirm this works great L. Only issue is gotta go through the same steps after restart. If someone can come up with an autostart app without root that would be awesome

Are you sure?
I only did it once and Volte and Vowifi still work fine for me... I definitely possibly maybe rebooted my phone at least once since I installed this...

Yeah gotta start shizuku and pair wireless debugging again. Unless I'm impatient and have to wait a minute for it to autostart

As I understood it, you only do this once to enable the setting and after that, you never need to run those apps again...
And I just tested it... Shiziku... does not need to be turned on.
