I went to the store this morning and they said if you have the newest sim which comes with the phone, then you will see it in settings.
There is no wifi calling at launch, you do need to use the new sim in order to support a new wifi calling feature later this year

I Havent got mine yet but my wife works there and supposedly you have to use the sim card that comes with the phone
Can someone who has the phone actually try to initiate a call with wifi calling?
You have to have the new sim that came with the phone. This will not work with an old sim from your previous phone.
I'm using the new sim that was in the box, and i'm not seeing how to initiate wifi calling.

Nope... I see only two checkboxes... Wifi (Enable/Disable) and Network notification... below that is WPS button conneciton and then the list of wireless networks.
I appreciate you looking onto it. That sucks if that option isn't or doesn't become available.
i took mines back because of this and hotspot being blocked.. grrrrr
Okay back i called t-mobile a couple of times. They thought the people were talking about sip, skype, voip calling. Not the wifi calling that t-mobile made. The one that seem to most tech savy rep said there will be a patch to add it but don't know when it will come. The amaze 4g already has it build in under wireless settings.

Not enough for me to return the phone but really need that option. Oh well....now we wait
For kicks I installed Kineto (Wifi Calling app) and tried to run it... immediately FCs. Oh well. Perhaps this feature can be "unlocked" with a custom ROM that re-adds SIP support to the device. I thought I read somewhere that it is excluded by default.

we would have to wait till samsung makes a wifi calling as the one we have now uses htc libs. Sip support is there just not wifi calling for t-mobile sip comes with all gingerbread phones.

Not sure if I remember this happening on my Verizon G2, but my G4 consistently knocks out 4G when I am on a call? I thought it should be using it.
You need to enable Advanced calling to keep your 4G active when on a phone call.

Settings, in the Wireless Networks section, Advanced Calling. Activate it, and go through the process it walks you through.

Hmmm... I don't anything called Advanced Calling. I'm on T-Mobile.
Different carriers work differently. And I think some don't need "Advanced Calling" to do voice and data at the same time.

It's volte for you.
Also, having VOLTE enabled gives you the ability to go from WiFi calling to networking calling seamlessly. If wifi calling is disabled, the call will normally drop. If you have it enabled, and it still drops, you only have WiFi calling 1.0 however you shouldn't have that issue since you're posting in the g4 forum.
For anyone who's wondering: Advanced Calling is a free feature from Verizon. I checked with a phone rep and activated it on two different G4's without problems.
Also, this is supposed to be enabled by default, but it wasn't when I picked up my phone from Best Buy.

Verizon Advanced calling brings:
VOLTE
HD voice at a higher bitrate which is clearer when using the earpiece or built in speaker.
Offline Voicemail downloaded to device
Simultaneous voice and data using one radio instead of SVDO (which the phone doesn't have)
switchable to video chat while on call, either one or both users.
Dropped calls if you move out of a 4G area.
Thanks - just turned it on.

The true findings have not been reported yet. CM13 has "unlocked" through what they call trickery, but has not been reported to work on all devices. This topic comes up at every unlocked phone thread I have seen. It most likely will work on devices that either were purchased at T-Mobile or that have radios with the ability to place Wi-Fi calls (any phone compatible with project-fi). There are reports of the nexus 5 on cm13 not being able to use this, but the 5x (with it's Wi-Fi calling ability) to use it. The HTC 10 has the ability to make Wi-Fi calls natively (the radio supports it) on android N, so using it on t-mobiles WiFi calling makes sense. But, until there is confirmation that the oneplus 3 has this ability, then I'm going to say it probably won't work. I could very well be wrong, but I can't find anything proving it works on all devices right now.

Yeah no wifi calling and no ok google from a locked screen...I'll hold off and see if they update these, if not, probably move to the next nexus.
I just received my op3... No wifi calling option with T-Mobile. I hope they add it. My 6p came from project Fi and does work with wifi calling on T-Mobile.

If they ever get it working let me know. I'll also hold of until Wi-Fi calling works.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
seems wifi calling is still in the settings menu, but it disabled as soon as you toggle it and leave. CM13 on the nexus 6p has working wifi calling, so the device itself doesn't have to come from t-mobile to work. Still hoping this is not radio firmware related. Waiting for a decent CM13 port to see if there's a chance there. If anyone has flashed one of the two cm13 ports on their op3, is the wifi calling option visible in the settings menu?
It is equipped, but 1+ has to pay T-Mobile to test it and approve for use. 1+ says they won't. Maybe we can remind them we want it.

It depends. I wouldn't pay for Wi-Fi calling and I'll be damned if I'm going to be forced to pay it through some price increase just to appease a minority. There are other ways to achieve Wi-Fi calling that doesn't involve carrier support like WhatsApp
How do you call a landline on whatsapp. How do you receive calls to your phone number on whatsapp. There really aren't many full VoIP wifi calling solutions available, and none of them are even as close in integration or as seamless as the native implementation. Cant speak for most carriers, but it's free on T-Mobile. I can relate to not wanting to pay for features you don't have use of, but the same could be said for volte calling or LTE in general.

There is WiFi calling in the settings. Search for it. I'm attaching screenshot of my OOS 3.2.4 unrooted having WiFi calling option in setting.
And also it does support Ok Google from lock screen. Just Google it how to make it work...

If you are on the stock OOS 3.2.4 it's there.
Go to settings, in the search bar type "pre".
Select " calling preference"
WiFi calling should come

I have Just updated my phone to marshmallow hoping to get wi-fi calling but it still asks to activate advanced calling.
Is there any chance that i can bypass this to get wi-fi calling?
Also in case if i ask my friend to activate it using his SIM and later insert my T mobile sim will i still be able to use it?
Thanks in advance

Some people here have had to get Verizon to set HD calling up for them, especially if they've had it turned off. T-Mobile may be the same way.
If I recall, Verizon users were able to turn the feature on online.

Then I'm afraid you're stuck. It looks like HD calling is a prerequisite for wifi calling. Both, while sharing the same technical standards, are run by the carriers.
Hi. I just chatted with Sprint online asking if the pixel 2 XL that I'm going to receive at the end of this week, and activate on Sprint, will support WiFi calling. They confirmed that it will but could not provide a link to a list of phones that are supported at Sprint. Therefore I have my doubts. I think a lot of times these people who work the chat are "Yesmen", if you know what I mean?
Has anyone here activated their pixel 2 XL on Sprint? Is it wifi calling capable? Thank you.

I don't see a place to turn it on. Activated my 2XL last Wednesday morning. I've looked a few times. And I thought I read either on the Sprint Reddit or the Sprint Community that it's not supported. I can go to settings and search and type in wifi calling and it takes me to the Wi-Fi preferences page but then there's nothing listed.
Edit: See this as well. Still seems pertinent. https://www.reddit.com/r/Sprint/comments/6nqojq/sprint_support_wifi_calling_is_supported_for/

The Wifi calling option is available for T-Mobile. It's under wifi preferences (I find it easier to locate if I search for wifi in settings. )
Thanks for the responses, guys! henderjr, this is what I was afraid of. Thank you both for looking. I'm sort of basing my purchase of this phone on wifi calling so I'm stuck. I can't figure out how Sprint can get away with this....and no simultaneous talk/data, and survive next to the other service providers.
By chance does anyone else on Sprint have the option for wifi calling on their Pixel 2 XL??
I just chatted again and the agent is saying that wifi calling MAY be something that Sprint needs to activate on your account for it to show up. That's sounds weird to me but if you get a chance, you could call Sprint and see if they will turn it on for you. If you do, please report back, henderjr.
Certainly someone has had experience with this?

Then you'll probably need to call Sprint support and get your phone properly provisioned. I've seen some at&t users having to do the same.

Is there any way to enable Wi-Fi calling through rooted means? It seems like all we need to do is enable some features.
Just wondering if anyone is using WiFi calling. I just switched back my sim to a voice line and wanted to get it working. But not sure if the tablet supports it as I don't see the option.
I disabled a bunch of packages, so just wondering if I accidentally disabled it, or it's just not possible.
Thanks!

No idea as I don't have the version with the SIM card. Usually your carrier has to tell you how to set up WiFi calling. On Project Fi it is automatically routed from the phone app through the Hangouts dialer . Otherwise you'd have to resort to Skype or WhatsApp or something similar.

I would contact your carrier. WiFi calling is something they have to enable which is why you see the setting on your phone. They would know if they can support WiFi on the Tab S4. Like I said for Project Fi, which is my carrier, their WiFi calling is handled through a separate app (Hangouts Dialer) and not a System Setting regardless of the Android device used (phone, tablet, etc). Maybe your carrier has an app to install that provides WiFi calling from a Tab S4? And report back who your carrier is and what they say so others can find the info.
