your carrier has to support wifi calling, verizon does, Metro pcs I doubt it. Call carrier and ask.

Sorry. I rarely use txt & MMS. I pretty much use Hangouts and Viber to chat with everyone I know.
By the way, if touch tone DTMF is not working, try to change the DTMF from Short to Long in Phone settings.
I have a T-Mobile edge and edge plus, both have band 12. One of the offices i work at only gets band 12.

Ofc the tmo S6 has band 12 support. I meant the verizon S6.

It's the same one that's everywhere online for TMO LTE, it's not device specific, in fact the same settings are used for all LTE enabled phones, even iPhones. I'd be shocked if it wasn't either the 1st or 2nd result after a Google search.
I once had Verizon Edge+, and used it on T-Mobile.
Add and use the following APN.
Name t-mobile US
apn
fast.-tmobile.com
mmsc http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile/mms/wapenc
apn type default,supl,mms
Leave all other settings as is.
For MMS to work, make sure you add "mms" in APN Type field.
Moreover, once in a while, you'll get an annoying popup saying that the sim card is not Verizon etc. If rooted, just use Titanium Backup and freeze the "activation" apk. If not rooted, use Package Disabler Pro, and the disable the aforementioned apk.
Good luck.
the issue is in you are using Verizon S6 Edge+ on Tmobile network, you can't use data while on phone call.
it doesn't pickup band 12, only works on band 4 etc, which loose the data if phone call picked up.'
is there any way around?

My note 3 did this going from verizon to tmobile. A workaround i found was to switch the network settings from 4g or global to 3g or 2g only and then make the call. Touch tone would work, then after hanging up switch network settings back to 4g or global. Hope this helps you.

Hello, can anyone tell me if there is an option to enable wifi calling on the N930FD. If there is, it should be found in the dialer>3 dot button>settings then scroll to the bottom. Thanks in advance.
Sent from my SM-N930W8 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Is this for T-Mobile? Were you able to use wifi-calling eventually?
No I was asking for Rogers in Canada. However, since there were no responses I stayed with the N930W8 Canadian model because wifi calling is a must for me due to poor reception in my area.

If it's like the S7 Edge Duos then the sim card that you want to do wifi calling from has to be in sim1. If you put it in the sim2 slot then it won't work. I don't remember why this was as I returned the S7 version in favor of the Note 7 and just getting it unlocked ASAP.
If you have the setting I should think so. Open your dialer app and go to settings, it should be the bottom setting. I know it is with mine here in the UK.
Considering this device ....... Can anyone tell me if they have been successful at WiFi Calling on AT&T using the pixel XL?
No to WiFi calling on AT&T. No VoLTE either in case you are wondering.

Let me ask this .... Is the setting for WiFi calling there? If it is, will it just not activate?
And if that is the case, has anyone tried calling AT&T with an IMEI change to an att device (from a brother, or cousin or something) that had WiFi calling (like an AT&T S7 Edge or similar)? ..... Then checking to see if it will then activate
I am using an IMEI from an LG V20 from AT&T (had it after the Note 7). No toggle or anything.
I have a new Sprint unlocked Samsung S9 SM-G960U1 and am trying to get the wifi-calling to work with Cricket Wireless. Currently the wifi calling option doesn't even show up. I was wondering if flashing an after market ROM would enable me to access the wifi-calling feature. Cricket supports wifi-calling, but only on Android devices purchased from Cricket (a note I didn't see before I bought the phone). If there is please letr me know which ROM would help me achieve this.
Thanks

Wifi calling and volte do not work on byod there is no roms for this phone. You can root but I can assure you this isnt gonna work either. All you can do is buy a cricket wifi calling enabled device

incorrect. it merely needs to be provisioned by cricket on the back end by someone who isnt the typical moron with a headset. the reason byod devices have trouble is due to the IMEI not being listed in their system and it takes a ticket to be sent to the telephony dept and have it added. They dont like doing it, but they will when pushed. Unlocked A8 and A6 on cricket both had wifi calling and VoLTE after provisioning was complete.
you also have to have the right csc on the phone.

I have a method with imei from a good cricket wifi calling phone. And have it working. But I have to give them another imei once I have it provisioned. Once their system updates with my imei I lose my wifi calling. But after provisioning I give them my actual cricket devices imei and tell them the system is still showing my byod imei they need to change it back to the other device. It works. But imei in their system is wrong.
Not imei switching or anything like that. I physically own a stylo 5 from cricket I dont use. So they think I'm on that and not my g9650. So I know it's possible just a real pain
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.
