Does this not work on our phones? I just activated service and have no cell signal at home. I can't even text or call on wifi now.sinxe porting from project fi.
Edit: so apparently I was lied to by the rep when ordering my SIM card when I explicitly asked "is wifi calling going to work on the phone I'm bringing to TMobile." Just got off the phone with tech support and was told wifi calling only works on TMobile branded devices.
WiFi calling works for me. Also worked on my OnePlus 5.
The option is there, go to WiFi, WiFi preferences, Advanced. You can also search for WiFi calling in settings
Just found it. Thanks guys. I think their tech support was try to get me to buy a phone. Tech support was telling me that no non T-Mobile phone would work and was suggesting buying one from TMobile to get it to work.

i think you accident a word but do you mean it worked on older phones?
things you can do:
1. The Amaze and SGS2 requires "new" sim cards for wifi calling (the sim that came with the phone) so use that sim instead
2. Go to a T-mobile store and ask for the new SIM. (free-$20 different stores different policies)
3. Call T-mobile to help you "activate and setup" your wifi calling in your ACCOUNT, not on the phone.
4. Call CS and ask them to issue you a new sim card (they either send you to a store or mail you one)
5. Use the search button because I remember reading about this a couple days ago.
If you go to an actual tmobile store and not a dealer and tell them that you called tmobile and you were told the sim would be FREE, they won't charge you for it. But make sure you test wifi calling at the store before leaving the store, so you don't have to drive back to the store like I had to.
I've searched for the answer for this, but found nothing...I apologize in advance if this has already been asked.
I have a Verizon Note 3 with a Tmobile SIM/Service, and would like to use the wifi calling/UMA feature that T-Mobile offers. In my office the network coverage is non-existent for all carriers, but there is wifi access. I can get online fine, but can't send a text or make calls. From what I understand Verizon has this feature blocked (or non-existent), Can I flash a T-Mobile ROM to activate this feature, or if I install a developer ROM, will this feature be available?
Thanks for any input!
your phone does not have the hardware to do WiFi calling. Only a T-Mobile phone will.

I believe tmobile is the only company that has wifi calling....tried to switch to verizon a few months back, and i asked them about the wifi calling if they had it there reply: "we are sorry, but our network is far more reliable then as of tmobile, and hence we dont need wifi calling" lol. so yeah, its not blocked, they just dont have the right hardware in place and even if they do, they wont be anywhere near tmobile...hope that made sense, kinda typing this while falling asleep
Sprint note 3 has wifi calling
Hey all, I've been pouring over the forums here and other places trying to find a solution to my issue. I just got a Pixel 2XL the verizon version and I'm using it on Straight Talk with an AT&T sim card. So far so good except I cannot get wifi calling. I'm pure stock, android 9/Pie, no bootloader unlocks/rooting etc. The wifi calling option does not exist in the phone app nor in the settings anywhere. Even when you search for wifi calling, it simply takes you to the network and connections section of settings but wifi calling is no where to be found. I've tried the adb command (the one that apparently used to work on Oreo but not longer does on Pie) and that didn't work (though I didn't expect it to since many people said it no longer works on Pie). I have an Unlocked Note 9 as well and its wifi calling works perfectly fine so does anyone have a way to make this work? Reception at my home is somewhat lacking and I really need wifi calling.
Thanks!

Could you attach a screenshot with the WHOLE section of "Mobile Network", found inside of "Network & Internet" in the Settings -- make sure that you click on the drop down menu next to "Advanced Calling" -- this will help make sure that wifi calling is really missing as well as might point something out that may help with a solution. Moreso, personally, because I can't even imagine what the settings menu looks like missing this...

It might be a long shot but try checking the settings in the Google phone app. There should be a place that says configure IMS calling. I have this setting here and in the network settings. If you have it that's where you can enable wifi calling.

Been there done that. I have no options for setting up IMS calling. I only have SIP options. Also, I have tried the phone dialer trick (where you dial *#*#4636#*#*) and that shows the wifi calling option as a toggle but its greyed out and cannot be enabled. I even tried an adb trick that used to work on the 1st gen pixels, but to no avail.
What happens when you enter your information here?
I'll have to initiate a chat with Straight Talk. Like you I have a Pixel 2 XL with a Straight Talk AT&T SIM. The only difference is that mine is unlocked. I just ran my phone number and the IMEI of the SIM through the linked site and it tells me my device is not compatible. Since I have a BYOP SIM and the IMEI is of the SIM itself, chances are high that the SIM needs replacing with one that includes WiFi calling support.
EDIT: According to the representative I just spoke with, there's no guarantee that changing to a newer AT&T SIM will enable the feature. The only guaranteed method according to tech support is switching to a T-Mobile SIM.

Hey thanks for the help. I tried that link as well (before I posted here; sorry I should have mentioned it) and it said my device is also not compatible. I initiated a chat with them and they told me the same; switch to T-Mobile. I am tempted to do so but the one thing holding me back is my home is already a place I get poor signal and T-mobile's coverage while much improved still isn't as good at AT&T's. I realize that having wifi calling would fix any lingering signal issues but I do manage to get 1-2 bars of 3G at my house with AT&T, I figure I won't even get that with T-Mobile. So I am weary of the switch. I'll have to consider it though. I could also wait for the full rollout of the latest google voice (since it finally is bring VOIP without the need of hangouts) and just use that number instead.
So I contacted Straight Talk and ordered a T-Mobile sim card. It'll be here in a few days. I will post my findings after it arrives. Straight talk support says wifi calling works with all T-Mobile sim cards so we will see.
Hello all,
Okay, so I finally got switched over to a T-Mobile sim card (again still with straight talk). It took a while cause I had to buy a new one (the old one I had expired; who'd have thought?). Anyways, switching to T-Mobile solved all my problems and then some. Not only do I have Wifi calling, but also HD voice, VOLTE, Tethering, and 3-4 bars of LTE (previously on AT&T, I got 1-2 bars of 3G). I realize the signal issues is merely a coverage thing but I can say with certainty that switching to a T-Mobile sim card will give you all the advanced features. I hope this helps others who might experience this problem. I've been using AT&T (in one form or another) for the better part of a decade and can now honestly say, AT&T sucks.
Is your download speed throttled?
I was finally able to get AT&T to get my VoLTE turned on. It took two chat sessions but finally I got them to turn it on.
VoWiFi... not so much. They wanted me to go in to a store, because the phone isn't an AT&T sold phone. The chat representative said they would do something to the phone to turn it on even if the VoWiFi switch is already turned on.
Side Note for VoLTE:
My suggestion is tell them you used the dial code "*#*#4636#*#*" and tell them you can see that the VoLTE isn't enabled. And if your phone isn't registering with the IMS info, let them know too.
Good Luck
Anyway here are the screen shots:
You sir are a saint, thank you so much for this helpful information.
That dial code doesn't do anything when I type it in for some reason.
I was able to get VoLTE on both mine and my wife's OP8 Pro by just having the phone agent register the IMEI and rebooting.
I have submitted a ticket with their advanced team for enabling 5G provisioning since we have the 5G bands (or at least one of them) for AT&T. I will follow up if I am successful.
yeah I came from the Note 10 5g on ATT and i didn`t have to do anything, I just put in my sim and turn on VOLTE and it just worked. but Vowifi is another story. lol, I`m going back to Tmobile in couple of months, at least they allow vowifi and 5g to work without the BS from ATT
Will be trying myself and will post if make any progress
I ended up with a MVNO provider Ultra Mobile as a 2nd line on SIM2 (need a 2nd line for work anyway). That gives me 5G+VoLTE+VoWiFi unlike AT&T.
really wish AT&T business practices change. It sucks that AT&T does their customer like that.
I have enabled Volte via PDC method, disabled overseas commercial and activated CU-LTE.
Everything works great.

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
