So I stumbled on the fact the Note 10+ has this feature out of the box a few days ago. It's not in the usual spot for Samsung for me, but when I flipped it on it worked. I've changed nothing, but it no longer turns on (reboot, airplane mode, PRL and Profile Updates. Switch goes to On, It tells me how amazing VOLTE is, but then I don't get the VOLTE symbol in the status bar and still loose data on a call.
Anyone else experience this?
Well for anyone who cares, I have a Sprint Magic Box. I've seen mixed information on it, some places stating that the older Generation units will support VOLTE and it's been rolling out since nearly a year ago, other sites stating only the Gen 3 support it.
I contacted Sprint and they seem to claim the later, that only the Gen 3 supports it. Since I have a Gen 2 they are setting up to swap me to a Gen 3.
So FYI if you have Sprint and no VOLTE, this might be why. If you have Sprint and have VOLTE on a Gen 1 or Gen 2, definitely congrats on hitting the lottery!
Only other thing I can think of is they started updating older units and had issues and stopped. I've had the Gen 2 exactly a year and a couple days.
Edit: From further reading, the magic box software that supports VOLTE is 15.15.50.514 which mine has and it does not support VOLTE. So *shrug* not sure what happened.
I have Sprint and have VoLTE

odd, the exynos EU/UK version doesn't have a VOLTE symbol but VOLTE works fine on THREE UK out of the box.
I have the unlocked 10+, I have VOLTE on, can place calls and use internet without and issue, but no VOLTE symbol in status bar. Using Xfinity Mobile(Verizon towers).
For my brother's and sisters with an unlocked phone and on AT&T there is hope for us to get VoLTE without wonky work arounds.
I called and called and called and finally got transfered to someone who could do something. Basically AT&T will at first tell you that features like Wifi calling and HD Voice (VoLTE) are only available on AT&T certified devices aka phones you bought from them.
However what they won't tell you is that if you press them hard enough and get the right person they will add your note 10 plus IMEI number to their internal IMEI devices database that allows your phone to get all those sevices.
Now it's not instant they will advise it takes between 24-48 hours and for me it took about 30 but as I was sitting here about 20 min ago I got a notification about a carrier services update and after it applied it I had the VoLTE toggle and wifi calling toggle on my unlocked note 10 plus. I of course turned them on right away and after confirming my e911 address I had wifi calling and shortly after VoLTE started to work.
The difference in call quality between standard cellular and VoLTE blew my damn mind. It's a real shame AT&T plays these games but you can get your IMEI added and get a the features without having to flash the att firmware or do sim swaps.
I haven't tried making a video call as all my contacts have iPhones but supposedly it's enabled now too

With a Gen 1 or Gen 2 magic box? Otherwise you missed the point of the thread entirely.
Now if they could just enable VoLTE on the Galaxy Watch...

The UK version from Samsung does have the symbol, I changed fro EE to 3 over the last couple of days, when I was on EE I got the volte symbol but on 3 I don't, so while the option enables I'm not sure it's actually working. But the same is true with EE I always had 4G+ but on three I only get basic 4G.

I can confirm VOLTE and WiFi calling works perfectly on three. When u place a call the 4g symbol remains as 4g which is basically a VOLTE call.

I've been on the phone with them (AT&T) for the last 4 hours! They had the WIFI Calling working, but when I called back about the video calling and VLOTE they screwed my Wifi Calling back up. They went on to tell me about how my IMEI isn't showing up as a Note 10, but some other device named Nubia or something. I know it can be done, because I had it done with my Note 9. I had enough for today, I'll try again tomorrow!

I had to call in a number of times before I finally got someone who knew what to do. They have a BYOD device program and getting the IMEI added is part of that program.
I am running the unlocked firmware, with AT&T service and I have all advanced features like VoLTE and Wifi calling.

Wow! I never realized this. I tested what you said and I can be on a call and the 4G symbol stays active, so I assume I am using VOLTE as well?
Oddly, I do not have an option in the Mobile networks to turn on or off VOLTE. I'm using a Sprint purchased, unlocked Note 10 plus on MetroPCS.

Great so it's working. In the UK they don't have a symbol saying VOLTE the icon remains as 4G on a call same in Japan and Korea. Sometimes it may say HD by the mins and sec call timer

Correct, I get the "HD+" next to mins and sec like you said. Just don't have the option and do not see VOLTE anywhere. I'm perplexed why some have the option to toggle VOLTE under connections, and some do not. But I guess the important thing is it's apparently working

It's an unlocked non carrier device and the USA networks are well known to behave in odd ways such as compelling Samsung to make carrier specific software and bloat on devices. Maybe its to do with that. Most global GSM networks are significantly more 'chilled' that the USA networks. Its quite laughable in some ways
Note 10+ newbie here. I have a MOW N975F which is unlocked, but not the unlocked US version from Samsung.
I came from a Note 8 and on that phone I had called them and given them an IMEI of a real ATT sold phone and upon reboot, I got the Volte toggles, but no WiFi Calling toggle and video calling does not work on the Note 10.
So when I switched the SIM to the Note 10, I too get the 4G icon instead of the 4G-LTE like on the Note 8 previously. Volte seems present, but Video calling does not work on the Note 10. It tires to place a call and quickly terminates with some kind of network error.
I did not yet attempt to call T again and have them change to the Note 10+ IMEI under their BYOD program.
I am wondering if anyone has come up with a method to get the real AT&T CSC? On my Note 8, someone pointed me to CSCSelection_S7_S8_V1.2.5_Note 8.zip and that worked perfectly. Seems there is no more OMC directory on the Note 10 and the above did not do anything.
Might there be a way to flash through ODIN the AT&T CSC stuff from a T ROM?

Is or has anyone else been able to get VoLTE working on T-Mobile US on this model specifically? LTE and WiFi Calling work in general, but the "Enhanced 4G LTE Mode" toggle isn't there to allow VoLTE. The model has the same number of bands as the XT1710-01 model, but is on the RETLA channel, by the way.
Hi, actually I was having similar issues. VoLTE, seems to be different but is based on your Carrier mostly. If you call someone from a different carrier it may not be enabled. I'm with AT&T, whenever I call someone with AT&T and we are both with good 4g LTE, in the call, changes the status to HD. But, just with AT&T. At least that's how it Works for me. We should wait someone to confirm is this is how other carries behave.

Apologies for the late reply. Definitely no VoLTE or HD voice between me and other T-Mobile users. No matter what I tried it just never came up. If anyone's considering using this specific variant of the phone in the US, I'd be aware of the limits beforehand.

-06 is a North American dual sim variant, correct?
Are both SIM cards on t-mobile?
Could one use SIMS from different carriers?

-06 is a North American dual sim variant, correct. Updates should go through ATT Mex, I believe. And yes, you can use sims from other carriers. I used one sim card when I tried it and only utilized one of the sim slots as a result. T-Mo VoLTE just doesn't seem to have been certified for that variant.
So T-Mobile WIFI calling works on this variant of the Z2 Play? If so that is good to know especially when traveling overseas even if some other advanced features don't work.
I have an XT1710-06 retla device and I can confirm that wifi calling with T-mobile does *NOT* work on my device. There is a setting to enable wifi calling, but it never seems to connect and all calls still go over mobile. This is 100% testable if I for instance go into a deep basement that has wifi but no cellular signal -- I can browse the internet but cannot make phone calls or SMS, even though I have wifi calling turned on.
This is probably related to why VoLTE doesn't work either.
Also (as mentioned in another thread) still no updates for it past February 7.1.1 update. No later security updates and no Oreo updates.

Hi,
I'm super curious how did you get your Z2 Play to have VoLTE. I 've tried everything - new sim, IMEI of ATT branded phone, activated SIM on ATT phone, etc. , to no avail. I'm so frustrated and about to get another phone, because my HSPA signal is much weaker than LTE where I'm at and constantly have missed (straight to voicemail) or dropped calls. Please, let me know how did you get it to work.
Thanks
Maybe the problem is VolTE itself. As I tested. Unless both phones are with the same carrier and working good over 4G (good signal area) you can't get it working. At least in where I live that was true for a friend's phone and mine. So VolTE was good, until signal dropped hard. But impossible to work with other carriers.
Even it was good under Lineage OS and tested with Toxyc OS, but I saw the main thing is that 4G LTE should be firstly working fine. And same for anyone you call. Otherwise call will be normal. And for 4G LTE it depends on area support too.
Sorry for late reply

Same phone (XT1710-06 retla, rooted stock ROM on Oreo), and wifi calling on Tmobile also doesn't work for me. I can enable it in Settings, but I cannot send SMS or make calls over wifi with no cell service. After a while (a few hours) I get a Moto Settings notification that it can't enable Wifi calling, with a message underneath that says "Enabling." I can't dismiss the notification, only snooze it for up to 2 hours, and after I disable wifi calling it does eventually go away after a couple days.
Your problem is because none of the XT1710 variations have the 600MHz Band 71. It is the most recently added band and very few phones currently out there support it yet. As far as the HD voice issues mentioned...both people on the call have to be using a Volte supported phone and then HD automatically activates.
I have the dual SIM. Was having a horrible experience on calls in the US, and I noticed device dropped to H from LTE as soon as I made a call, and wifi calling wasn't working.. Also got v choppy data.
I spoke to ATT and it took a while but I explained the issue, gave them ONE IMEI only, and asked them to register it so I could get VOLTE and wifi calling.
It took 2 weeks to get a response. I just got an email saying they had resolved the issue. Meantime NO CHANGE in my service ...
...Until ...
I put my sim in an iPhone and registered for WIFI calling. That was the missing link, the thing that I couldn't do on my Note 10! Get it to register the way ATT likes it.
Once I got the confirmation on the iPhone, I put the sim back in my note 10 and now I have VOLTE, WIFI calling and my data speed has improved significantly.
So it's fixed.
(BTW I did a speed test and iPhone still consistently got better data speed, but that is probably because the F doesn't have band30)
I hope this helps someone out there!

Thank you ever so much! I had to go a slightly different way, but I got Volte working.
First, I had to call the nice ATT Agents a couple of times. I finally got hold of an agent that knew how to do this. Even though I previously had an international Note 8 working, the ATT system had the IMEI of the new Note 10 plus.
I gave her an IMEI of a real AT&T Branded Samsung Note 8 I no longer used and she pushed it into the AT&T Systems for me.
I did not have a Iphone to activate WiFi calling on, but I then stuck the SIM into an old Note 8 that had previously worked with Volte but would not anymore. After booting, I was again able to active wifi calling. That seems to be the key.
I moved the SIM back to the 975F which was still configured on SIN (Singapore). For some reason, the Camera on phone contacts were no longer present! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was previously present on contacts which indicated that Volte was not working. I changed the CSC to BTU where it also showed up and rebooted. Not joy - no Volte
So I extracted the ATT CSC file from CSC_OMC_OYN_N975UOYN2ASJ8_CL16989516_QB26837495_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5. I then ran it through lz4.exe to uncompress it, and SVAImgUnpack to unpack it, and was able to access the contents using ext2explorer.exe
I copied the OMC directory from that partition to the SD card of the phone.
On the phone, I then used Total Commander to copy the omc/single/ATT directory directly to /product/omc/single/ATT - just that one CSC.
Then then copied the /efs/imei/mps_code.dat to the SD card. I then edited the SD card copy of mps_code.dat and change the content to just the three characters ATT. I then copied the file back from the SD card to /efs/imei.
Reboot, and walla! Volte worked (the camera showed up under contacts that have Volte cabability. Wifi-calling then appeared under settings. I was able to enable wifi calling on the 975F perfectly.
All good!
I hope this may help other ATT customers.
@ekerbuddyeker, Do you still using ATT network with N975F (Note 10 International model) ?
My company HQ in USA, so I frequently contacting to US HQ guys with ATT Wifi calling. (using Google Pixel 3)
I've Note8 International(N950F) model and I want to ATT Wifi calling via this Note8 device.
I checked that this Note8 / Android9 support T-mobile US and another many Carreir/country(Vodafone, Beeline-Russia) wifi calling enabled by this phone.
If your N975F has still VoLTE and VOWIFI works smoothly on the ATT netowrk , Can you share the screenshot of ATT's VoLTE and VOWIFI working?
Your guide saying, First Wifi calling provision on the iPhone then put the SIM back to Samung Galaxy device,
I followed your direction, But no luck.
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.

I've been looking all over the Internet about enabling Voice over WiFi on the 7T with the Global ROM. I've found several sites talking about the 7T Pro or 7 Pro, and I've tried those techniques and was able to get the voice over WiFi setting to show up, but when I toggle it on, it is turned off again the next time I enter the Sim menu. I've verified with Verizon that Voice over WiFi is turned on for my phone, my phone is registered in their DMD, so everything should be good on their end. It just seems to be an issue with my ROM not allowing me to use it. I apologize if this has been answered but I couldn't find one for the 7T that matched my situation.
Alternately, this was originally a T-Mobile phone that I converted to the Global ROM. How would I go about converting this phone to the regular US ROM (from here, for example) to see if that would fix my issue? I don't really *need* the Global ROM, I just installed it because that's what the conversion guides to get off the T-Mobile ROM prescribed.
I wouldn't expect the us rom to work for your issue if the global one does not. I'd also note that I find vowifi with it to be finicky without any display on why it might be failing. I have 2 sims in mine, and its well known now that one can't get vowifi working without the primary data sim being the sim you want to do vowifi. but even when I do that (and even set primary calling sim to the tmobile one), it more often than not, doesn't connect via wifi (i.e. pop up the icon). It has worked (i.e. I have been able to get the icon and place calls while in airplane mode to the US while overseas), but it hasn't proven to be reliable. Then again, it wasn't reliable either with just a t-mobile sim and the t-mobile rom. I just wish there were some logs that would say what was failing.

What process did you follow to get yours working?
I don't have verizon, as I noted. as I said, I would play around, set primary data and calling sims to the # I wanted for vowifi. Put it in airplane mode, turn on wifi. sometimes that would force the vowifi to come on / sometimes not. take it out of airplane mode. sometimes that did it hen the previous step did not, sometimes not. rinse and repeat.
I mostly gave up on it for now. The only US number I give out is my google voice # anyways, so it doesn't make a huge difference.

I only have one sim, so I don't think the issue is with it not knowing which is the primary. I tried the airplane mode trick but it just said I had no connection to dial. The issue with me is until I did the little hack shown here: (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-enable-volte-vowifi-on-all-devices-no-root.4105817/), I never even had the VoWiFi option, but even when I got it, it wouldn't stay enabled. I was thinking the US ROM would help because I am in the US and my carriers are all in the US. I felt like the Global ROM maybe wasn't compatible with Verizon or something.
Bonus question: Is there an easy way to search within a single thread on this forum? I can only find how to search all the forums and it makes it difficult to zero in on information.
Verizon DOES NOT support VoWiFi on the 7T. So far as I know they do not allow vowifi over their network on any non-verizon branded phone.
VoWiFi turns on, fails to get the proper authorization from Verizon to use their network, turns back off.
Even with the 1+ 8, the VZW model is the only one with vowifi on their network. I was told that it was due to “security concerns” since non-vzw phones didn't go through VZW testing.

Thank you for the Search help, of course it requires clicking the button I'm so used to typing and hitting enter I don't even click those anymore.
On the Verizon VoWiFi, I wonder if results may vary on that, because they had told me it was enabled for my IMEI. Of course, that is largely dependent on the rep you get, I'm sure. But at minimum, I'd at least like to have the option to try it. Plus when I travel abroad, I would like to be able to turn it on for other carriers there as well. I did find another route that involves using PDC to manually enable it, but I'm going to have to root the phone for that. I'm not using the phone yet, so now is the time to play with it I appreciate your answer though, it may be for nothing, but I've got the mind of an engineer, you can't tell us no
I was unable to get either VOWIFI or SMS to work when I bought my unlocked 1907 7t (with global rom from factory) to work on Verizon. (Despite all the guides to do as such)
I both messaged them on their platform and called several times. Every time was same shtick. Them: "Phone doesn't support all features" Me: "Yes it does, has all bands, please add IMEI to database and turn on cdma-less provisioning" Them "Ok, hold please..." 5 min later... "Ok it should enable within 24 hours...when should we call you?" Me: "Same time tomorrow is fine" Them: "Ok, then"...24 hours later... no call, I call, repeat, no change.
They honestly just lie/yes man you to appease you until you give up/satisfied with their programmed responses. They have no intention of going out of their way in any technical capacity (Esp. if you're prepaid) and being forthcoming with their policy to only activate "Verizon Phones" on their network will never deliver a technical reason (this band/that band, etc...) This was not the first time I've had to attempt technical workarounds (on another global unlocked LG phone) , which also failed (on their end). They are an incredibly dishonest company imho.
So I got a T-mobile sim and it works great! (vowifi perfect!) I keep the old Verizon one in the second sim slot, just in case I want to punish myself at some point in the future ;0
See, my SMS works fine. That's why I say it seems to depend on the rep you get. I'm just really curious if I could get around the carrier block OnePlus has apparently put in place for VoWiFi (per their customer service), if I could get it working still.

There is some sort of certification or something baked into VZW phones that their network looks for when you try to connect via VoWiFi. If that is missing VZW's network will not let you connect even if customer service ”activated” it.
It's not a carrier block 1+ put in place, it's a “not VZW certified” block that Verizon put in place.

Oh, I see. Idk what OnePlus was talking about then, because they literally said they block VoWiFi if it's not T-Mobile.
Hi, this solution perfectly works for me. Link. So simple way to enable volte and vowifi without unlocking bootloader and rooting.

I use telefonica uk commercial since oos10 for malaysia and my telco is digi and unifi. but for 11 i use required to use from extracted mbns, so i tried using extracted pixel4 mbns. Still lookimg for op7T oos 11 extracted mbns.
Has anyone had this working yet, does it even have an icon to show its on because my network provided said the Pixel 6 has no option in the menu, does it even show on the phone if its working/on?
VoLTE is working fine with EE in the UK. There are no signs it is working from what I can see, except for the fact it stays on 4G rather than drop to 3G. I've had HD calls (shows the tiny HD icon when the call connects) on 4G as well.
You can check using the phone service menu (*#*#4636#*#* or a version of the same... I always have to check!).
Mine shows volte provision as on (EE UK)
Mine is greyed out

It depends on your carrier.
Some offer the ability to activate it on your own (call a number, send an SMS), some activate it automatically, some won't even give you the ability to deactivate it/activate it yourself.
It needs to be activated and attached into the carriers system as an information that it's activated for your contract.
Are you sure that VoLTE is activated properly?
I have no problems with activating it on my phone.

I've been in touch with them today and Volte is active on their side but I've got no option
Same problem here ... Youfone network in Belgium ...
VoLTE works fine when I put the SIM card in my OnePlus 8 phone.
VoLTE does not work on the P6P if I insert the SIM card there.
I chatted to a Google support guy, he said it definitely is the provider whi must change something ... they claim the P6P supports VoLTE properly ...
But that is strange to me ... why would the SIM card have VoLTE in OnePlus phone and not in P6P? Could the provider really fix that? I doubt it ... but I am not a VoLTE specialist. I will contact provider anyway to see what they have to say.
Hmm ... I checked my provider's website ... they (explicitly) say that VoLTE is availabe for the following phone brands: Apple, Huwai, LG, OnePlus, Samsung, Sony, Nokia, Oppo. So maybe indeed the provider has to "activate" it for specific models/phones ...
I'm told after checking settings that Volte is switched on in fact it can't be turned off due to the carrier config file, greyed out on 'yes' however no Volte working.
The phone supports all the bands so this has to be an issue with the phone itself

No option for Volte and carrier confirms this, Google has hidden it for some reason
Hmm ... see attach. Same issue here. VoLTE works on my OnePlus, does not work on P6P. Chatted with Google support (see attach); they claim it is the provider who has to activate it for the P6P model (which I find strange). I will check with my provider (but I'm pretty sure they will bounce me back to Google). Ping pong.
So I hate volte because if my phone signal is weak and it decides to call over data the call gets all distorted and robot like if you know what I mean!! So I always turn this feature off, normally! Been a Samsung user for years and always had a setting to turn volte off via the SIM/network menu, well as it seems I've had a few of the distorted calls and gone to turn of volte but not a setting in sight and I think I may have figured it out. Seeing this post triggered me look into it deeper and after using that phone code above to establish that the carrier volte setting is switched on but greyed out, as somebody posted above made me switch my SIM to My S20 and check the volte and I can confirm that although the mobile provider has it switched on permanently for active Sims the phone has the hardware to switch it off.
If you look at the screenshot from my Pixel 6 Pro and read what toggling the WiFi Calling switch does, it actually states "When Wi-Fi calling is on, your phone can route calls via Wi-Fi networks OR YOUR MOBILE'S NETWORK"
What I take from that is the toggle on/off is for both WiFi Calling and volte at the same time and we can't have them as independent switches like on my S20 and probably other phones. It makes sense as to why none of us can turn it off, which is cr*p. Especially when my mobile signal is dodgy in my house so I relay on WiFi Calling and sometimes as I have 2 AP's I could have low WiFi signal so it decides to use volte but my mobile signal is also weak thus making my robot distorted calls to happen. I'll be sending feedback via about/send feedback to Google and just hope somebody picks up on it.
Do you agree?
Unless I'm missing something then appolgies for waisting your time.
If you do agree please could you send feed back to Google via "settings/about phone/send feedback about his device" as the more reports they get we have a better chance of the toggles being separated.

I don't even have a setting 'Wifi calling' ... so I guess this is present in your case exactly because VoLTE is enabled.

Have you opened settings and searched for wi-fi calling?? See screen shot. I'm guessing you have and if it's not there then possibly your network provider doesn't support either... Is your phone on the latest firmware?

I do not have a setting when I search for "Wifi call". My phone is on the latest (November) firmware.

That's strange and does your mobile network support both WiFi Calling and VoLTE services? If so then all I could possibly suggest is maybe a factory reset, making sure all your data is backed up first of course. It's a bit drastic I know but sometimes it does fix issues especially if the update missed some steps out when it was applied.

Well, VoLTE for sure, when I put the SIM card in my OnePlus phone I have VoLTE (not wifi calling; that may be the reason why I don't see the entry in settings).

Quite possibly, like you can't have one without the other... If I'm correct that they have a joint on/off switch I really hope Google fix it. Hope you manage to get something sorted.
This is a carrier setting first and foremost. My phone came with it enabled on EE here in the UK, but not explicitly. I have Wifi Calling enabled on my phone as well, and I believe that works for wideband voice calls.
I've tried both VoLTE (unmarked in status bar, just as "HD" in call log) and VoWifi, both seem to work with my P6P.
Update: I've had one call where its shown as HD (Volte) on my call log even though the areas I go are all covered by Volte so I'm going to guess this is down to the rather poor modem on this handset which shows weak signal strength compared to my last handout (Oneplus 8 Pro)
