Hi guys.
Let me elaborate my question.
1. I am totally aware that VoLTE on Android at the moment generally requires the handset to be from the carrier, or from the same region as the carrier for it to have the correct VoLTE (and VoWIFI) settings.
2. I am also totally aware that since Android 6.0, there actually has been a provision to allow carriers to send carrier settings to the user. I also know that this isnt being widely used.
After my ownership of my Pixel XL, I moved to a HTC U11, which I have flashed a custom ROM. This custom ROM managed to have the carrier settings for VoLTE for my carrier baked in.
I am keen on getting a Pixel XL2, so Im keen to see what the Pixel community is doing to enable VoLTE on networks that arent stocking the Pixel or Pixel XL.
Here in Australia, both generations of the pixel seem like they will be Telstra exclusives. and I am not inclined to go on their network!
Thanks for any assistance!
I use it with T-Mobile, only Verizon stocks it in the States. Volte works fine for me. Nothing i needed to do other than to setup the phone with the Sim card in the device.
Same here, got it with my T-Mobile SIM card.
This worked for me. Go to dialer and dial
*#*#4636#*#*
Phone Information
Turn on VoLTE
Turn on Video Calling
Turn on Wi-Fi Calling
Exit
I'm on Oreo 8.1 on my P2 XL, looks like it's already enabled. I'm on AT&T.

Change carrier. AFAIK you'll never get enhanced LTE services using a non-AT&T branded phone on their network. Once I switched my pixel xl to T-Mobile things like that and wifi calling worked fine.
My condolences to your Pixel XL 2. I was in a Verizon store the other day just to check out PXL2. The blue tint when turning the phone horizontally - horrific. Also, barely faster than my Pixel XL, even if you care for that kind of thing (speed.)

Same problem in Argentina, Pixel is NOT SOLD here so.... out of luck, but I tried this (already knew of the menu) and all my options are blacked out -can't enable any of them-, advice?????
Thanks.
If you can get root on your phone, flash magisk and there is a module in there to install that can enable VoLte and Wifi calling, worked for me on AT&T.

I had to toggle VoLTE off then on, restart. It's working for me now
"Turn on Video Calling"
Option is disabled, couldn't turn on
Depends if you're on Verizon or straight talk or what. I'm on straight talk and they don't offer VOLTE even though they use Verizon towers.
Using *#*#4636#*#*, the VoLTE provisioned option is greyd out. Anyone has a solution for this?

It means your operator is not offering VoLTE, or, as in my case, Pixel XL is not approved by the operator. I have VoLTE on my SIM enabled and working with operator approved devices but network rejects Pixel as not compatible one.

Operator offers VoLTE and it doesn't filter IMEI like in some cases. Other not approved devices (e.g xiaomi, oneplus) managed to enable volte via shortcuts. I am asking for a similar workaround. --thanks
Of you're on Straight Talk you're SOL. They don't offer it even if you're using a Verizon SIM
If you had geryed provisioning options you need to use magisks voenabler. a did it right now on december pie update. Now I have all enabled. Just waiting for operator to enable volte for my number. I wonder it will active.
Hi, my carrier does support VoLTE but the Pixel is not on its whitelist.
When dialing *#*#4636#*#* and going into phone info, the switches for "VoLTE Provisioned" is off and greyed out, but at the top of this screen I see "Voice Network Type: LTE". Does that mean I am getting VoLTE? I cannot see any other sign or symbol when calling. (I know some devices have a VoLTE symbol either in the status bar or during a call)
This question is for those of you like me that use more than one phone with a single SIM card. Sometime I travel and switch my SIM to another older phone I have around so if I lose phone #2 traveling I still have my newer/better phone. I know I'm not the only one to do this If I put eSIM service on Pixel 2XL, can I put old SIM card in Pixel XL and continue service on that phone while traveling. Is there a way to temporarily disable eSIM?
Hmm, interesting question.
I went with eSIM on my Pixel 2 XL yesterday, allow me a few hours to fire up my Pixel XL (which is currently powered down but still has the physical SIM card in it) and see if the Project Find app can reactivate service on it - and then move service back to the eSIM on the Pixel 2 XL again.
-jd
I hope Pixel2 can ultimately support dual SIM (eSIM and physical SIM) simultaneously with eSIM opens up to all carriers (not just Project Fi).

I am in a similar position and asked Project Fi pretty much the saem question. My Pixel XL 2 is on esim now but I want to be able to switch back adn forth from att and project sim (depending on which of my phones I will be using.)
They said that yuo can put an ATT SIM card into the phone, go thru sim setup to activate it - and later take it out and re-establish the ESIM when you wnat to use it on project Fi again. It will just take you back thru the saem setup process you went thru when you initially turned on the ESIM.
Pretty straight forward I think.

Thanks. I removed the fi sim from the XL2 and cleared data and cache in settings/apps/project fi and went back to fi app and set up esim so phone is good now. I need to see what happens when I put old sim into XL, haven't done that yet but I assume when I go into fi app all I have to do is reactivate service on that phone and it will be active (and disconnect service on XL2).
I was wondering the same question
The old physical SIM is now disabled. The eSIM has taken its place. The only way to go back to a physical SIM is getting a new Fi SIM and activating service on that SIM. There is no difference between eSIMs and real SIMS other than the eSIM is virtual and issued 'on the spot' during setup.
If you guys run the Project Fi app for setup, you'll see it's asking if you want to "Move your number to this phone" => transfer main phone to this eSIM an cancel original main SIM OR "use this phone alongside main phone without calls or texts" => make the eSIM be just a data SIM in the account.
In summary, if you are planning of using only the Pixel for Fi alongside some local/USA carrier it makes sense to transfer your main SIM to the eSIM. Otherwise it maybe be better to keep the original regular SIM.
I finally tested this. I had new esim service in new P2XL and old sim in PXL, old sim disconnected of course. Turned off P2XL and booted up PXL, had notification from fi app that service has been disconnected do I want to activate, pressed activate. It took a minute then fi app said do I want to maximize service, I said yes, another minute and I have service. Checked what network I'm on and it says Verizon, that's weird so I make a call and it rings VZW customer service, I hang up. Reboot and it comes up with Sprint this time and service is normal and I can make calls on fi.
I then turned off old phone and turned on new P2XL, it asks me the same exact questions do I want to activate service, I say yes and let it do its thing and reboot and have fi on that phone w/ esim. So for now it looks like we can use old sim in other phones w/ fi but that could change.

This was not my experience:
Powered down Pixel 2 XL, which was activated using eSIM three (3) days ago
Powered up Pixel XL (which I performed a wipe/reset on before I powered it down), which still has the Fi physical SIM in it
Pixel XL booted and tried to auto-activate on Project Fi; hung for a ~three (3) minutes before failing and asking me to hook up to wi-fi & sign in to a Google account
Connected to wi-fi & signed in using the Google account the Project Fi subscription is associated to
Project Fi attempted to activate again; hung for ~three (3) minutes before reporting: "Activate service later. Unfortunately your Project Fi service can't be activated right now. You'll be prompted to activate as soon as you've finished setting up your device."
Completed initial login on Pixel XL; had a Project Fi notification which read "Project Fi not fully activated. Tap to finish activation."
Tapped this notification which took me back to an "Activating..." screen which hung for ~three (3) minutes before failing with the following error: "Contact us. Unfortunately, your Project Fi service can' tbe activated due to an issue with your SIM card. If you need help, call 1-844-TALK-2-FI. Code: T077."
Powered down Pixel XL
Powered up Pixel 2 XL and confirmed Project Fi service was still activated/operational on eSIM.
In short, my experience is that one would need to engage Project Fi Customer Service in order to move from eSIM to physical.

With this phone, and the eSIM, you can switch between physical SIM and the eSIM. I first setup my phone on Sprint, but wanted to try out Project Fi without giving up my existing Sprint plan. It took some work and some calls, but both services are active, and to switch I use the dialer code *#*#switchsim#*#*. There is an option in the settings area, under Mobile Network then Carrier, but it does not seem to work all the time. I'm not planning on keeping this setup long, especially since on Fi I cannot use a Sprint connection, as I was told that my phone is still registered on the Sprint service. When I try to connect to a Sprint tower through Fi, I have no data. So while this is not an actual dual SIM phone, it appears that it can function as such, so long as you use Fi, and the second network is not Sprint or T-Mobile (or US Cellular.)
I don't think this applies to the original post, but I just wanted to share my findings in case can help anyone.
I asked Project Fi support if I could use the e-sim for data only and the sim slot for a call/text.
they said e-sim is only for full service (call,text, data).
Hoping Tmobile will support e-sim soon

So your saying if I popped a Verizon SIM in the physical slot and pushed my personal number to Fi it'd function as a true dual SIM??? That'd be amazing. My current setup Is a OnePlus 3T with my personal ATT and work Verizon SIMs. Verizon doesn't get data cause the 3T is missing Verizon band 13. I still get texts and calls though.

No. It is not possible to have both SIM and eSIM active at the same time, it is one or the other.
You can switch between them at will, but both will not be active simultaneously.

Most likely not....I have the N6P and it doesn't for work for me. They basically refuse to provision an account with the enhanced services like wifi calling and volte if you didn't buy the phone from them. They are the only remaining carrier that I know of that doesn't allow use of the enhanced services when you BYOD.
I have a theory though.....if you get a phone that they sell that has the enhanced capabilities and have them turn the services on...then you swap out the Sim and put that Sim in your pixel 2xl it should work.....
I thought about doing it but I don't need wifi calling and the VoLte and enhanced sms only work if the person on the other end has the same carrier and capable phone and the features turned on....so didn't think it was worth it try try out.

It has to be a Google issue wether it's certifications or license issue. Someone much more in touch with how it all works would probably have a better answer. Purchased my wife's iPhone 8 unlocked (not carrier specific) from Apple directly not through AT&T. Her WiFi calling works. I'm also on the 6P and upgrading to Pixel 2XL even if it doesn't work? I guess I could try to put her sim into my phone when I get it.

Trust me...I have researched this extensively. I forgot to mention and serveral several rep confined this..... the only non att branded device they allow to use thier enhanced services is the iPhone bought straight from apple....no Android phones.
Yeah pixel 2 xl not working with enhanced voice. From what I heard the only reason it works with the iPhone is because Apple sets their own rules not the carriers. I think it's crap what they do. Verizon services usually work fine and tmobile works great too but coverage is spotty. I switched from T-Mobile to AT&T and love the coverage just miss being able to buy unlocked phones that will work with volte mainly don't really care for Wi-Fi calling.

If you call AT&T and get them to provision your IMEI for HD calling, it does indeed work.
EDIT: I should also add, your SIM card serial number last two digits (digits 9 and 10) MUST be greater than 27.
If they are not, you will need to get a new SIM card from AT&T.

Mine stays on LTE !
Go into the 4636 menu and see if it's provisioned. It was for me on vz. If it is, go into contacts and press on the 3 dots in the upper right corner. In the settings tab, there is a toggle for wifi calling.
I can confirm that VoLTE works. I contacted AT&T Tech Support this morning and specifically requested for them to update the IMEI # and provision VoLTE (HD Calling). I placed a test call and it sounded great, and stayed on LTE.
Additionally, I requested they Provisioned Wi-Fi calling. The Tech advised the Pixel 2 XL is not compatible but said he provisioned it on the line anyway. I don't think it's working though since it doesn't show that it's provisioned on the device information.

Here you go, see the HD in the screenshot, and yes, Wi-Calling still DOES NOT work. The AT&T Tech was kind to provision it anyway, maybe Google needs to turn it on as well.

That would be the middle digits then right? My SIM card is 20 digits, but digits 9 and 10 are 27.

if you physically look at the SIM, there is 2 rows of 10 digits, the top row, last 2 digits.
Yours should be fine,
I didnt check on 8.0, but I also didnt see the volte setting in advanced, so Im guessing it is only 8.1 right now.

Ahhh ok. Yeah my top row on my SIM card ends with 27. I already had AT&T swap my IMEI on the SIM card since I moved it to my P2 XL from my old Pixel XL. I guess I'll have to ask them to provision VoLTE on my account now too.

I'm giving this a shot too considering they're advertising the welcoming of the Pixel 2 lineup. It's simply all about whitelisting so they should make this happen!
https://www.att.com/plans/google-pixel.html
The hardware obviously allows it. It's just a matter of AT&T adding the IMEI to their advanced calling lists.
Got them to add this to my account and I'm good to go. I wonder if we'll ever get WiFi calling
Hello, does anyone know if Three's super-voice will work on a Pixel 3 XL purchased from Google directly rather than from Three? Three list the Pixel 3 as supported for VOLTE but they only do the 64gb models and currently have no plans to offer the 128gb which is what I need.
I am hoping that it is not the Three ROM which enables this feature. Would someone be able to confirm please?
Thank you

These days it's not the ROM on the phone which enables these features it's mainly the network. So if the network allows this feature by putting their sim into the phone will give you the option to select this feature. I'm on EE but got an unlocked version pixel 3 XL as soon as I take the SIM out of the phone the feature disappear from the settings.
Not sure this would help but I got my pixel 3 XL from Vodafone directly and WiFi calling and HD calling is working fine. I don't think any pixel phones have a "branded" firmware so these features are baked in. But either way order it online or over the phone and you can test and if it does not work just return the device back under 14 days rule.
Thank you for the information. I hope it is the same on Three as it is on EE for you. Maybe someone on Three can confirm for me before I commit to my purchase ?

Really, that is so annoying. I was hoping that as the Pixel 3 is on their list of devices which are supposed to work with Super-Voice then it would work like the others mentioned on here without their own Rom. Have you tried contacting them to ask why it isn't working as the device is listed on their website as supported? Have you checked the VOLTE settings or are they missing in the menu?
yeh, you can test any phone to see if wifi calling is available
switch on airplane mode
switch on wifi
if you can still make calls via the dialer then you have wifi calling, if you can't then you don't
if you try this with pixel 3 xl on three it tells you to turn mobile on
Also noticed though when I did make a call at home yesterday while on 4G it showed HD next to the call timer

No sorry I am not referring to using Wifi calling. I know the Three in Touch App will work, what I am referring to is Three's SuperVoice service which allows your phone to make calls using 4G otherwise known as VOLTE.

No WiFi calling does not work with three uk, you must use their outdated app that's not been updated for 2 years.
4G supervoice is different and uses the 4G network and you can tell with the HD symbol that appears you are on their 4G sulervoice.
I have asked three about wifi calling and they reckon they are working with Google to get it working. Tbh it is Three that nerd to sort out their end as it is a common format and configuration.

we know Wi-Fi calling is important, unfortunately the Pixel 3 doesn't support this right now ? we’re working hard with Google to have this sorted asap though so watch this space ? >DD

Yes please, I would like a screenshot.
I have a Pixel 3 XL and have never seen 4G calling work, I always observe the phone dropping the "4G" and moving to "H / H+" next to the signal strength icon when a call is made.
I do live in a 4G area

As far as I'm aware 4G calling (or '4G supervoice' as they like to call it) only works on band 20 with Three. If you're in an area where there are bands of 3G signal available, it will use them. If you're somewhere where there is only 4G on band 20, then it'll work. - This signal travels further and penetrates buildings better - so is there when other signals aren't.
All the other operators seem to allow 4G calling on all bands of frequency now. Three only allows it on band 20.
I assume at some point they'll roll it out to all their 4G signal.
Was hoping January update may enable Three wifi calling but it has not.
Can confirm that volte is working on three and pixel 3xl.
I've just made a call and it stayed on 4G. First time I'm actually taking notice so not sure if this has always happened or just after January update.
Now we need wifi calling. Who do we approach about this?

VoLTE has been working for a good while now - if not since launch?
I was hoping WiFi calling would appear after the update too. All they've said on that is that they're 'working with Google' to get it out as soon as possible.
I don't see why it's so hard for them, it's on the iPhone, the S8, the S9 and all the other big brand phones they sell.
I want WiFi calling, but I'm not as bothered about it as I was about 4G calling- VoLTE gives me a usable signal at home where there was none before.
I've now seen a couple of calls where "HD" appears in thr phone app next to the call timer.
It appears, to me, to only work on other calls to mobiles in the three network.
So I'm not experiencing a true VoLTE experience as I understood it could be.
It's sad when my wife's phone which is a Huawei P20 pro from the Vodafone network (unlocked) supports WiFi calling on 3 network!
Come on Three/Google.
I'm wanting to get the Pro in black with 256gb storage but need to know if anyone is using any unlocked version from Google (not carrier branded that had be unlocked) on AT&T network and getting volte with calls. My company pays for my work # and just gives me the SIM to use in my own phone since I don't want an iPhone that they provide. I currently use a Huawei Mate 20 X and have that SIM working along with my personal # that's on T-Mobile (dual sim phone). Unfortunately due to AT&Ts whitelist any calls made/received on that # switches to 3G, this will make my current phone unusable after they shutdown 3G this Feb.
TIA for any info
I have an unlocked 6 pro on att and I think volte is working but don't know how to verify. I know wifi calling is working which was an issue with my previous unlocked phone
Unlocked Pixel 6 Pro user with ATT here. The wifi-calling works perfect, and surprisingly the visual voicemail is enabled. It seems to work just like an ATT-based phone without the bloatware. Odd thing is you cannot change the mobile network. Read somewhere here the ATT disabled this setting for some reason when connected to their network.
HD Voice (AT&T version of VoLTE) works perfectly well, as does WiFi calling, provided of course your account is provisioned for such.

Thanks, good to know. Currently with my Mate 20 X when on a call with the AT&T line the network switches from 4G lte (when not on a call) to 3G (when on a call) then back to 4G lte after the call has ended.

@Vash369 - thanks for sharing your feedback. does your unlocked P6P support dual SIM, e.g., physical sim card and an e-sim?

I'm not who you asked, but I believe all the factory unlocked P6Ps support dual SIM via a discreet SIM card and the built-in e-SIM.

Yep it does. It shows this in Google's spec sheet page. Mind you I'm only using physical SIM. So I don't know if both will work at the same time
Another unlocked/rooted P6P working fine on AT&T here. I just sim swapped from my old phone and it worked right out of the box.
