Wifi Calling using unlocked AT&T phone on TMobile - Moto Z2 Force Questions & Answers

Hello,
I am trying to see if there is a way, I can enable wifi calling on my unlocked AT&T phone using TMobile service.
I notice Wifi Calling feature allows me to enable it, however, it comes back with little note below the wifi calling label with "Forbidden"
Is there a way to change this?

I'm having the same issue. Please help.

Did anyone have ideas on this? I've done a reset of the device, reset connection settings, reset APN, and still nada.

Where do you see that option? I'm on att and I can't find it anywhere.

Please help LTE stopped working not sure why!!!!

Bought my phone form Rogers. LTE was working fine.
Was going to USA and paid an online company to send me unlock code.
Used it and went using Tmobile which only has EDGE data.
Just got back swapped back in my SIM From fRogers and can only get EDGE speeds.
Tried reboots rmoving SIM card.
Also made sure settigns were correct for Rogers APNs and also that toggle was on for GPS/HSPA/LTE.
To no avail.
Briefly, I toggled on and off the apn setting from ROgers LTE to tethering LTE and low and behold it seemed to work.
But now it is back to stuck on EDGE and nothibg I am doing can help.
Can this be a byproduct of the unlock?
Is my LTE faulty?
I s there some hidden menu where perhaps a setting can be changed for a fix?
I am depserate as the alternative is to return the phone and they are on backorder everywhere now.
There is no lte on tmobile yet. Second the tmobile note 2 has dormant radios that will only activate the lte capability by software update.
Im going to research your problem a little more ill send you a pm as to why it isnt going back to lte functionality if I find out something first...

I have a Canadian note 2 that had working LTE.I had it unlocked via a code emailed to me then next used it on tmobile at edge speeds.
Since returning home i cant get back onto data speeds above edge despite reboots.Simcard/battery pulls.
I ensured my network and apn were correct and that in setting under mobile the toggelchoice for auto including gsm//hspa/LTE was selected.
Are there perhaps some deeper settings via dialer code than might be able to turn back on the hspa/lte radios?

Perhaps you simply ran out of data with whatever plan you have on Tmobile.
Or perhaps you should call Tmobile and ask them why you have no data.
You need data to get internet without wifi.
What ever the problem is, it has nothing to
do with the fact that the phone is unlocked.
Set up apns? Stock they will only have att apn you'll need to manually add tmobile and select it

Enabling Cricket Wifi calling on 960u1

Hi,
I am trying to get the wifi calling option to appear and work on my 960U1. Here is what I've done so far.
1. Utilized Odin 3.12.3 (not patched version that I've seen on some forum posts) to flash AIO firmware G960U1UEU1ARBG (which i'm pretty sure is the only cricket CSC from updato.com, Sammobile has nothing listed for AIO )
2. During flash I made sure to select the CSC (not HOME CSC)
3. The flash looks like it was successful and the phone was automatically factory reset.
3. I am still missing the wifi calling option (i checked both settings-> connection menus, and the Dialer. I also tried making a call in airplane mode with wifi and it said i needed to turn on cellular.
Does anyone have any ideas what I need to do? Only thing I can think of is I'm missing a firmware or I need to change how I'm flashing the phone.
Here is a link to the cricket website saying wifi calling is supported on the S9 https://www.cricketwireless.com/sup.../wifi-calling/customer/compatible-phones.html
Thank you
Update:
So I was realized what I was missing was the AIO (Cricket) User Data. Once I located that and flashed it along with the Firmware using Odin I know have the Wifi-Calling button added to my phone. Now when I attempt to turn it on wifi-calling I get the "Please try again later" message.
I contacted Cricket Wireless Chat support, told them I have a S9 with cricket Firmware and they asked me to provide the IMEI, when I provided the IMEI they stated that it was for an unbranded S9 and that I would be unable to get wifi-calling to work on their network because of that.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I could get them to authorize my phone to get access?
It is not going to work no matter what. You have to be using an iPhone or their Cricket Branded Android phones.... -_-

Even if Crickett wanted to, their agreement with AT&T would probably prevent it. Even AT&T requires an iPhone or one of their branded phones for wifi calling. You can give up this fight.

If you had another Cricket branded Android that is wifi calling capable you could have them hard set that IMEI in the system, and that should get your S9 working.

Thank you,
I've considered this option, but now I'm weighing another consideration. It looks like mobile hotspot is disabled on the cricket firmware with user data. So unless I pay for the service maybe i should stay on a generic firmware so that it will give me mobile hotspot vs wifi calling...
\Again, FYI and maybee everyone already knows this.
The idea behind the "unlocked" handset and Android was that each carrier would have its own app to use for these handsets to enable these IMS features. As usual, the wireless US carriers have perverted the concept to tell then end user to f*ck off because you did not pay a premium for the carrier branded/bloated handset.
Man....MINT SIM is looking good.
Just FYI, Wi-Fi Calling will work fine on U1 flashed to Cricket's firmware. You just need to provision your SIM card for Wi-Fi Calling, to do that you need to insert your SIM into iPhone (SE or 6/7/8/x) and activate Wi-Fi Calling on that phone and test it out, once you see it active - remove SIM card and put it back to your S9. After you put the SIM back into your S9 - do a network settings reset, after that the Wi-Fi Calling should work. This is how I made my S9 work. If you don't have anyone to borrow iPhone from - go to your local Apple store, buy one then return it next day

Where did you find the User Data file? I've been looking high and low and just can't find any. Thanks
Also would like to know where you got the UserData.

I've been attempting to get this working on my ATT (carrier unlocked) S10+, but since Cricket only supports the S10 (not +) I'm unable to find an appropriate userdata. Do I have any options?
Wifi calling will work on non cricket device under one condition. You activate wifi calling on a cricket device. With your sim in it. Then put the sim in your phone. I also flash any multi csc firmware. And place cricket sim in the device so it auto personalizes. so then you have cricket firmware so to speak. I'm using a g950u xfinity right now on cricket with bit 7 even though cricket has only bit 6 out. And he calling and wifi calling work great

No data during call after oreo update

Hello. I'm hoping that someone can help me out. I have a Verizon note 8 that i use on straight talk for the longest it never would update to oreo but then i cracked the screen and purchased another used verizon note 8 from ebay. It came to me with a cricket sim card in it. I turned it on and connected it to wifi just to check it out before i transferred anything and it immediately wanted to update so i let it and it updated to oreo. I swapped over my ST sim into the new phone and stuck the cricket sim into the old phone and it updated too. But now my problem is that I keep getting the message that data is unavailable during calls. When i check the settings it says i am on CDMA/EVEDO/GSM/WCDMA. And there is no option to edit my APN. If i click on the mobile network i have the option for LTE/3G/2G but if i choose this nothing works and i have no option to go back to the CDMA/EVEDO/GSM/WCDMA and thus have to do a factory reset. I have tried texting APN to 611611 but it states my APN is already setup. I called tech support for ST and they told me to call back from another phone which i cant do until this evening when i get off work. So i thought in the mean time i would reach out to the real pro's on here and see if anyone else has had this issue. Did i mess up by updating with the cricket SIM inserted? Or could it be that i just didnt call straight talk when i swapped phones? i just took the sim card out of one phone and stuck it in the other. I really appreciate any advice anyone may have. Oh and I've tried finding the settings for HD calling to enable them, not there.
Thanks,
Amy
I'm having this same issue with my Verizon branded note 8 that I manually updated to Oreo. I called my carried, Red Pocket and they stated that this is enabled for my account. In Oreo the hidden menus seem to be disabled and I've tried other things. I may have to see if I can go back to Nougat. The dialer hidden menu I tried was *#2683662#. On the Verizon forums, other were able to get to the menu using *#4636# and enable VoLTE but that seems to be disabled for me. I tested from my coworkers note 8 and it seems to work fine on their phone.

I reflashed CRID and the CSC but my Service Provider SW ver. still says VZW/XAA/VZW. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Has anyone figured this out? I am having this very issue and Straight Talk has no clue what I am talking about.
I found this on the Samsung website and it looks promising but nothing has changed. I was able to see that the radiobutton/checkbox for LTE Enhanced is checked.
To enable HD Calling, download Shortcut Master (Secret Codes) Lite from developer vndnguyen. You will need to find the apk as it does not appear to be in the play store any longer.
1) From the option menu located in the upper right hand corner, choose Search.
2) There is a search field at the bottom of the screen. Type lte then hit the Search key.
3) Scroll down to Mobile Networks. Choose the one that show EnhancedLteServices. Then click Launch. Then click the box to enable HD Calling.
I was also able to set the APN settings to Bearer: unspecified using Shortcut Master lite but this made no difference whatsoever.
Finally, you don't need to do a factory reset each time you go from CDMA/EVEDO/GSM/WCDMA to LTE/3G/2G (auto connect), simply search in settings for reset network and then reset the network settings and reboot.
I was able to get the SIM card trick to work for me on my Note 8 as well. I have redpocket and prior to doing the sim card trick I did not have VoLTE. Now I do. It's too bad that this is majorly inconvenient and it won't stick after a reboot, by the sounds of it. I haven't tried yet. I may just tape the sim to the back of my phone or inside my case. Also, on my Note 8 prior to this, I was seeing vzw/xaa/vzw and now it has the vzw/vzw/vzw CSC with the RP sim in. I'm hoping that there is another way to fix this but at least I have a work around.
I updated to Oreo on my verizon note 8.
I dont have any options for advanced HD Calling, Wifi calling.
When I go to ims settings it says denied.
Any ideas

WiFi calling on unlocked p2XL on vzw

I have been trying to figure this out since I got this phone in late 2017. How do I get the wifi calling to work on vzw with my unlocked 2xl? Reading on the internet seems to indicate that there is some software missing for this feature to work with vzw. This 2xl may have wifi calling on T-Mobile for example, but not vzw because it isn't "carrier branded" for vzw. I'm assuming that's some piece of software.
Does anyone know what this is and is it a shareable file that someone could provide and explain where I need to put it in my phone via solid explorer to get the wifi calling working on this phone? I was so excited for that feature when I upgraded from my s4, and have never had it yet. It's one downfall for the unlocked phone.
Anyone? Do I just need to flash a Verizon radio image or something like that?
I have also been trying to do this as well, in that menu, it is not provisioned, does that mean my carrier needs to do something?
Mod Edit: removed portions of quote no longer needed

After setting up android 10, I went to settings>Network & internet > Mobile Network > Advanced, and tapped wifi calling, turned the toggle on and a screen popped up "activate wifi calling;" it required me to enter the emergency location information address.. I pressed save, and wifi calling was activated.
Are you on Verizon with an unlocked pixel 2XL I take it? Were you too unable to get Wi-Fi calling working on Verizon before the Android 10 update?
Is there anyone out there that has information on this? How is vzw locking out bring your own devices from their WiFi calling and several other services? What identifier on the phone are they using and how can it be tricked with root? Are there any Xposed modules that could make this work?

I have my pixel 2xl from google and it's working without issue.
Go to settings, network and internet tap on mobile network and scroll down to advanced and it's at the bottom (above apn settings). That's all I had to do. Nothing special even though I'm rooted it still had nothing to do with root.
Let me know if this helped

Yes, see my post down below
I have been reading and reading and reading on this. I can't find a way to make these carrier services work. What can I do? Here is what I see when I dial *#*#4636#*#* in my dialer.
The options are turned out turned on but greyed out for Wi-Fi calling, video calling, and UT interface. It tells me my IMS registered and voice over LTE is available. Do I need to change any settings in this section of my phone app? Do I have to change my preferred network type to something other than LTE / CDMA automatic, or change my radio band? What about the SIP server?
No one knows of a work around?

This has happen to me a couple times when I was using an essential phone and tried to get WiFi calling to work on it. Once I went back to my unlocked pixel 2xl I had to call the help line and get my "video calling" turned back on. Which in turn re activated my WiFi calling. Just have them check i bet something got turned off on their end.
