How to enable VoLTE on Pixel?

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.

the module only changes the settings to allow for toggling but does not provide needed ims libraries.

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)

Local Carrier just enabled eSim support, How to activate on device? No Menu option!

Guys,
So my local carrier just enabled support for eSim. How do I get it activated on the Phone?
To enable support, It's just one text message and they will enable it from their end.
But I don't see any option in my device, or in Settings app to enable this.
I tried searching for eSim, and I get to an app info page. Not the actual application.
Any help is much appreciated?

There is no actual app, its done from settings.
Perhaps you need to send the text to enable it, before the option appears on the phone.
When using project fi, it doesnt appear in settings until you activate the service (to switch between SIM/eSIM).

Ok, I've understood a bit by reading around.
So just because my Local carrier (Not Fi) enabled eSim support, It wouldn't work, Yeah?
It only works for Project Fi, Correct?

Your local carrier Etisalat, Dubai., has to provide an android app to do the SIM provisioning at the moment. Google still hasn't released an app that takes QR codes from carriers... Android 9 added APIs to widely support eSIM on Pixel 2 but it may take a while for carriers to come on board.

Not yet bruh , they are heavily invested with supporting Samsung.
I'm still fighting with them on weekly basis just to get VoLte support on the pixel 2Xl even tho it's working perfectly on my note 8. Been almost a year now with no progress what so ever.
I say give it some time (a year or so if lucky)
Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

I'm 99% sure that the built in eSim can only be used with Google's Project Fi. AFAIK it can't be activated to other networks.

Cricket WiFi calling, on One Plus 5T

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.

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?

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.

So I activated VoLTE accidentally?

Like most of you guys I wasn't able to obtain VoLTE, so I started to look in settings and stuff. I was in the Engineering Mode and saw a option called Misc Feature Config.
In there there is and option called HVoLTE I clicked on it and selected the other option which is BSRLTE and waited 10 seg and reverted back to HVoLTE and walla!
VoLTE is now activated.
I don't know of this will work for you but you could try.
I have the Global Version on T-Mobile.

you don't enable it the network enables it.

Obviously, but it wasn't connecting through anything like all my other phones, the only way that it appears is by doing that.
