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.
Has anyone figured out how to get WiFi calling working on Cricket wireless on the One Plus 5T. I have it enable, but doesn't seem to be working. I'm sure there has been a work around for this ?? Sometimes cell service in the house is spotty and this would really help missing calls. Any suggestions or work around, please advise.
have you tried installing voenabler module through magisk. That is if your rooted of course Iff it still wont work then your provider may not support it yet.

I'm not rooted. They do support it, but on their own devices not BYOD, but I read there was a work around, so figured I's ask here.
I myself experienced the exact same situation a few years ago the provider I was with had the same policy and after many arguments with there call centre I decided to switch provider to where they didn't restrict the phones functions. Usually in such a situation you need there own bloated firmware to recieve volte/wifi calling. There isn't much of a way out of this in my opinion unless you change provider but I could be wrong. I think they do this so customers buy phones from them exclusively and it's a sly marketing thing. Sorry I couldn't help. It is possible however that by rooting and then installing the module I suggested you could get round this but there's no guarantee. That's if your prepared to root.
Maybe you've tried this already but I found the following.

Yes I had already done this and enable it, but it still didn't work, I have it enabled but does not show up on the status bar. I'll keep researching, thanks though.
I had enabled from this link which is pretty much the same way, ( https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2018/08/enabling-voice-over-wifi-on-the-oneplus-5t-and-three-uk/ )
Good luck. Last resort might be changing provider. That's what I had to do.

Thanks. It's not a big deal, missing calls doesn't happen often, would simply of been nice to be able to have the WiFi calling when able. No Biggie.
I read somewhere about flashing VoEnabler module via magisk ??, does this require root, or can it be flashed without rooting ??

Sunder, I've done the below before a while back, and it still doesn't work, I have Cricket wireless, so maybe that is why. I have enabled all, but in the status bar the icon for WiFi calling is not showing when WiFi calling is turned on, so I assume it's not connected.

Which network service provider you are currently using means which sim is used in your phone.
Yes, I am very aware of that, and it doesn't work, I've tried it many times, Voltle or WiFi calling icon never comes on in status bar when enabled.

Bro, I think wifi calling is not working in your region Because of the network service provider not staring wifi calling(VoWiFi) technology in your region.
And it may be oneplus 5T is not support your network wifi calling.
In my India, this technique is working and i am using it perfectly with jio and airtel.
That was my point a few post above, where I mentioned it does not work with Cricket wireless, and Cricket does offer VoWiFi, but it woks only with the phones you buy from them. So I was letting people know it doesn't work with Cricket.

Okk
Hey!
My network operator supports VoWiFi feature, which i'm using a lot. I'm traveling quite often and using VoWiFi i can use voice services using domestic prices worldwide.
I have dual SIM card phone, in the second slot i have data sim.
Here the question comes - is there any way to configure a phone to use VoWiFi feature over data connection from the second SIM?
Essentially VoWiFi feature requires just internet connection, so in theory such approach should work, but do not know if it is possible to configure the phone this way.
Would appreciate any help
Gentlemen,
Any help would be appreciated.
I do have workaround - to use the second phone, share WiFi from it and then i can use VoWiFi on my main phone. But it' super inconvenient - you always need to care 2 phones.
If you know any apps/solutions please let me know.
I have dual SIM and I am able to have Wifi Calling enabled on both SIMs at the same time.
However - you are talking about VoLTE if you're talking about using the data connection on the second SIM rather than a WiFi connection.
Again, however, this should be possible - I can enable VoLTE on both SIMs. It's under Mobile Data in the Settings app...

VoLTE is different technology and is charged in my case differently. That's the reason i'm looking for an option to use data sim that the main sim uses this data connection for the call simulating "VoWiFi" and hence use domestic rates for the calls.
As i said above i can emulate this with two phones, but i still hope to find a solution where i can archive that with only one phone.
I'm looking for the same solution. My note 8 is rooted. The best I can do is set WiFi Calling as preferred over Network calling, but as soon as I activate Data for SIM#2, I lose WiFi calling and VoLTE for first SIM. Very inconvenient. Anyone have any clues how to force WiFi Calling using Data of SIM#2 ?
With the recent bombing in nashville. my phone is useless unless connceted to wifi at home and even then i can't make wifi calls. Im on the cricket wireless network so i go down to the store, only for the wireless tech to not be able to enable it in settings. Is there any special code to unlock this setting. I bought the phone carrier free brand new.
Hi
Hope you are doing ok there
Well were u able to use wifi calling before the current situation you are in? The wifi calling needs to be supported by your mobile phone carrier so check with them. If yes then there could be a problem with your phone or simcard if no then you are stuck with qhat you have or you change your carrier to anotherone qhich supports wifi calling
Best regards
I have a Samsung Galaxy fold z3 unlocked with a cricket plan I am trying to get my hotspot unlocked it's restricted need help
You don't say whether you have a carrier locked device or if it's unlocked.
But I suspect that this is not controllable on your device. It's more likely that your carrier restricts Hotspot usage by their policy. Why not check the rules for your plan?
Just because your device is unlocked, the carrier may not allow hotspot using their sim. So I'd call the carrier.

Ok, so you have hotspot and it's not working. Have you tried to call Cricket to see what's going on? That would be my FIRST step before coming here.
Once you do that, let us know what they did/said and then maybe we can help more.
