Hi All,
I just saw that Three here in the UK now support Wifi Calling on the S7, so I went to check and I don't have the option anywhere. I called Three and they say I should talk to samsung support as I'm on the latest nougat update but I can't see anything for WiFi Calling. I suspect Three's support just didn't have a clue and it needs to be something they enable.
Can someone shed some light on whether I can get wifi calling on a SIM Free (bought from samsung) S7 Edge? If so, how do I enable it?
Thanks in advance

This is on the EE website. VOIP calling should be controlled by your network not Samsung
I just got an unlocked Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) J327A from Amazon. This is an unlocked version of an AT&T prepaid phone. My T-Mobile SIM works OK with it. But: (1) VoLTE is not enabled, meaning T-Mobile will not work on 700 MHz Band 12 (which is the whole reason I got this phone, we don't have coverage here on any other band) and (2) wifi calling is greyed out and unavailable.
I had not realized there is more to switching between carriers than just "locked" or "unlocked", because there are different features beyond the basics that are either supported or not supported, and it turns out that having either VoLTE and/or Wifi Calling is pretty much essential for me now.
I'm an utter newbie regarding firmware mods. Is there any hope of changing the firmware on this model to enable VoLTE on T-Mobile and/or wifi calling on T-Mobile? A quick search of this forum only found complaints about seeing a "Wierd VoLTE icon" when they rooted their J327T phone. Which to me actually seems hopeful. The update guides I've seen all warn that firmware must be loaded only into the exact model number called out. Not sure if that means just "J327" or for example "J327x"
My question is: can you change an Unlocked J327A (supporting AT&T features) to a J327T (supporting T-Mobile features) by software tools? Or are there hardware differences, or at least serial-number-based locks to prevent that?
Would like to do the same thing, any luck?
Did anybody found the settings for WIFI-Call or VoLTE ?
Nothing found for Vodafone/Germany on my Z6.
No VoLTE certification on United States carriers has been the norm.
See my comment in [H]ardForum Post #10 and the response in Post#12
Has anyone, anywhere ever had a carrier VoLTE certification for their ASUS phone?

I currently own an OG Pixel from 2016 and it does not have those bands you quote in the HardForum (66, 71) and yet my Pixel operates great on my area. Are those bands important for use in your area? TMobile is my carrier if that helps any. I plan on purchasing it without a doubt.

I am on TMobile too currently running with a Moto G6. It has band 66 but not band 71 , and like your phone it runs great in my area too. However, I never have had a need to use band 66 or 71 . The only reason I mentioned the ZenFone 6 not having band 66 and 71 is some owners have the need (remote area, penetration of a building in the area where they are, etc).
What is critical for me is how will not having VoLTE affect my call quality?
Every phone I ever owned has had VoLTE as does your Pixel. For experimentation I toggled my phone's Preferred Network Type to 3G and made some calls to a robotic answering service and listened to their recordings and couldn't discern any difference in incoming voice quality when compared to 4G LTE. Incoming call quality over 2G however, sounded all muffled and terrible as would be expected.
Granted that is not an ideal way to test out call quality, better would be to make calls to different people over 4G and 3G and assess how they sound to me - and ask how I sound to them. But I have been reluctant to bug any of my handful of friends to do this with me.
My local TMobile outlet tells me that I shouldn't expect any loss of calling sound quality over their 3G network towers because TMobile is continually making tweaks to optimize them as part of their ongoing tower maintenance.
However, if you listen to what TMobile and others have to say about VoLTE it reads like this...
TMobile Support: VoLTE
VoLTE (Voice over LTE) allows you to place and receive calls on our LTE data network, and it's available nationwide.
Placing a call connects twice as fast.
Switching between 4G VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling does not drop a call.
HD Voice on VoLTE
HD Voice is a feature that improves in-call voice quality nationwide for compatible phones.
Voice call quality is more true-to-life, with less background noise.
It automatically activates, if you and the person you're calling are both using supported phones on VoLTE.
What's your take on this VoLTE concern wreq5 ?
Would like to hear from you and others on this. In the past I've turned down flagship phones for not being able to make calls over TMobile VoLTE. And now a very attractive phone like the Zenfone 6 appears on the scene. Sure would like to have it, if only I could be assured that not having TMobile VoLTE provisioning would not be a concern.

This would not be a dealbreaker as my rural
need or getting great service in buildings is not that important but others, as yourself, do require it. As for phone calls, rarely happens for me, and I am a heavy texter so texting should be fine. The choice is yours.

I wrote above "I never have had a need to use band 66 or 71 ".
Pretty much any phone released today supports it but carriers require specific profiles for their network. There isn't a universal profile that I'm aware of. So when a carrier says your phone isn't supported or your phone does not support it, they mean that your phone isn't certified by them or have their specific network profile.
I'll admit I'm a bit uncertain on the process of getting a phone to work with the profiles in the sense that I don't know if Asus needs to do the leg work or it's the carrier. It's probably both. That's what's causing the more obscure phone models to be limited in regards to network-specific features. So if you want to ensure support, sadly you need to buy a more mainstream device.
I'm going to have to pass on this phone. Last week I contacted ASUS technical support and requested that the inclusion of bands 66 and 71 be made via a firmware update. I also asked if ASUS is planning to enable VoLTE on North American carriers. This was their response.

Hello xxxx ,
Thank you for your patience and patronage!
In regards of your escalated query, our engineering department confirms the enabling of any GSM LTE bands cannot be done within firmware since it's integrated in the hardware of the modem itself.
Also on all our current unlocked USA/CANADA Zenfones, we currently do not have support for Voice Over LTE VoLTE in our North American market at this time.
Best Regards,

Pls can anybody check the functionality of VoLTE (wich country) and/or VoWiFi ?

Is adding bands via firmware possible? I'm unfamiliar of the tech but sounds like a hardware fix to me like they said.

Hello
I have question... do any of you use it Samsung note 10+ SM-N9750 international unlocked with US carriers?
it's this model samsung unlocked for volte & wifi calling for any US operators? (like, t-mobile, at&t, google fi or for other? )
Thank you
SM-N9750 is a dual sim, unlock work on LTE but you will see 4G, it work in Canada and US however does not support VOLTE, wifi calling, samsung RCS does not work, if you want the RCS you need to download the Google message app, now there is a thread already where you can root the device and enable the VOLTE and wifi calling. hope this help.

From what I understand, you can call Tmobile and register your IMEI with them (unlocked device). After that VoLTE and Wifi calling will work, but not video calling.

are you sure i can call Tmobile and register your IMEI with them? and later will Volte and wifi calling work? Do you have confirmed information for this?
Which model note 10+ do I need to have? only with Snapdragon (of course I'm only interested in the dual sim version) will it also work on Exynos?
Thank you

I have BRI CSC (Taiwan). Wifi Calling button screeny attached.
Only issue is that carrier aggregation doesn't work.
As a added Note, VoLTE and Wifi Calling also works on my S8+ Exynos on XSA (Australia) CSC

Essentially, you will only be able to connect to 1 LTE band at a time, which means you will see slower speeds compared to a US Note10+. Basically, no problem with LTE data but could have slower data speed sometimes compared to US Note10+.

Thank you now I understand. But this is not a problem for me because currently I have the same because I have a note 9 dual sim with exynos. More important for me, it's wifi calling and volte.
Can you add a few screen from settings folder with settings wifi calling and Volte?
do use now dual sim ? One sim it's from t-mobile and have wifi calling and second sim card does not work on wifi calling?

Settings screenies attached. I am using both sims as you can see I have 2 dialing buttons.
AT&T doesn't open up VoLTE and VoWifi to non whitelisted phones, so it only shows on one sim. I just turn the setting off because it doesn't work anyways.

very good news I have t-mobile usa, so it should be ok.
did you use sim card a different provider from outside the USA?
Actually, T-Mobile is my "outside" sim card. I mainly use AT&T and switch to T-Mobile for reception/unlimited data.

Reviving an old post here...
Are you still using this device and still with AT&T and T-Mobile. Any long term issues or challenges?
I'm on the same carriers; T-Mobile personal (and primary) and AT&T (work). I'm most concerned about VoWiFi and VoLTE on T-Mobile. With AT&T, as long as it rings and I can get texts, I'm good.
Finally, I believe you said further up that you got it on ebay...any chance you recall the seller?
Thanks!

No usage issues at all. VoLTE and VoWifi works on T-Mobile. VoLTE works with AT&T. SMS and MMS works.
I got it from never-msrp.

I am not in a rural area or a dense metro area so those do not affect my receptions. Also I mainly use AT&T and switch to T-Mobile for data depending on reception.
Speed wise, it will be slower on benchmarks due to the lack of carrier aggregation (and b29, b30 missing for AT&T), but it doesn't affect my real world usage: chat/email, web browsing, music streaming, remote desktop.
Need a help here, please. I have a note 10 plus SM-N9750 with CSC tgy/tgy,tgy/tgy. Can i flash some unlocked global rom? Some stuffs are in Chinese and Samasung keyboard don't have Portuguese from brazil
Mine is N9750ZSU1BTA1, dual chip snapdragon 855
will volte work out the box for TMobile ? They won't activate phones on their network after a while if they don't support VOLTE.... Or any plans to update it in the near future. When will this go on sale in North America?

I am currently on T-mo, it doesn't do VoLTE currently, I know its possible via root and changing parameters. ALSO they just enabled VoLTE for their ROG phone 3 via an update so I will assume they will probably do the same for the ZF7, if not I will have to root it.
I asked an asus rep about sale in NA and they didn't have an answer from marketing team, so I bought mine on eBay
I'm beginning to think they will sell in in america especially if they enable volte for TMobile like they did the rog 3. I'm waiting to see if they enable volte on the 6 and the 7.
And then there's the OnePlus 8T coming in going to weigh my optione

This guy apparently has VoLTE already on his phone, unsure how though.
Will this work on att in the states? Also which model if so?
ATT will ONLY work upto 3g. You will see an H on top the signal bar which indicates a Enhanced 3g speed also know as HSPA speed connection. I have tried 2 new sim cards. I have tried several APN's I have tried all updates and a reset. No 4G and no 5G on ATT. Unless someone can tell me something new, this phone will not FULLY work on ATT. Text works. Calls work. Internet is sort of hit and miss with decent signal but again rather slow.
T Mobile will ONLY work upto 4g. No Volte although it seems to have the capability of Volte it cant not work with Tmobile Volte because it seems the cell bands are not compatible. Text work. Internet works rather fast, Good solid signal however no 5G and no Volte due to incompatible cell bands.
I did research on this subject and found that the ATT cell bands for everything including 5G do seem to be compatible with the 7 pro but again, it does not FULLY work oddly
I also did research on Tmobile cell bands and the bands for 5G are not even close to being compatible. Volte is also non compatible. 4g is compatible and works..
THIS IS MY OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCE TODAY AS I PURCHASED A SIM FROM EACH PROVIDER ( THIS IS A DUAL SIM PHONE) AND PLACED THEM BOTH IN THE PHONE.. I DID EXTENSIVE RESEARCH>>>
IF ANYONE CAN GET THE PHONE TO DO 4G or 5G ID APPRECIATE THAT INFO>>
ASUS NEEDS TO DO AN UPDAT FAST BEFORE PEOPLE START TO RETURN THIS DEVICE. THIS AGE IS ALL ABOUT 5 G.. THIS PHONE IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH USA. I DO NOT SEE HOW AN UPDATE WILL FIX THE PROBLEM SINCE THE PHONE IS ONLY PHYSICALLY CABLE OF A SPECIFIC SET OF BANDS WHICH ARE NOT NOT NOT THE SAME AS USA BANDS
