Does this not work on our phones? I just activated service and have no cell signal at home. I can't even text or call on wifi now.sinxe porting from project fi.
Edit: so apparently I was lied to by the rep when ordering my SIM card when I explicitly asked "is wifi calling going to work on the phone I'm bringing to TMobile." Just got off the phone with tech support and was told wifi calling only works on TMobile branded devices.
WiFi calling works for me. Also worked on my OnePlus 5.
The option is there, go to WiFi, WiFi preferences, Advanced. You can also search for WiFi calling in settings
Just found it. Thanks guys. I think their tech support was try to get me to buy a phone. Tech support was telling me that no non T-Mobile phone would work and was suggesting buying one from TMobile to get it to work.
So is it possible to enable wifi calling and/or VoLte on stock 8.1 rooted or any firmware of the pixel without being on Verizon? I am on AT&T so just wondering if there is a mod or something I can do to enable it.
Magisk has a module that can do that; VoEnabler .... this module will enable access to the features in the pixel, in Dialer, settings, etc. * but that doesn't mean you can actually use them;
First, check that your carrier/service actually supports the feature .... You can check with a secret code though; in Dialer;
*#*#4636#*#*
Then navigate to "Phone Information"... from there scroll down;
you should see the stuff for VOLTE, Wifi Calling, Video Calling, etc. If it's enabled then you may be good to go..
but if your carrier doesn't support it - enabling it via VoEnabler will do nothing to change that.
Also, I don't know about the US, but in Canada - some carriers (under some plans) do charge extra for this stuff.

Sort of this. Basically AT&T will not support VoLTE or WiFi calling on any unbranded unlocked devices brought onto their network. Never worked on my T-Mobile Note 4 nor my Google purchased Pixel XL. I was a long time subscriber to their service but once my dependency on MMS messaging increased I had no choice but to switch to another carrier. I wound up on Verizon after a brief time with T-Mobile. Both support full functionality of these devices.

Before installing magisk I dialed that number and they were all greyed out, I installed magisk installed the module and now VoLte and Wifi calling are both enabled in that menu and in the settings menu. I tested wifi calling and it worked. So maybe just need the module installed and it will work. That's what worked for me.

Cool. glad to hear my advice helped... but also using the secret code in the Dialer would've verified if your carrier supports it on their network, beforehand; that's why I posted in that step...
also, just as a reminder; I'd make sure that there aren't any hidden fees associated with using those features, I don't know much about US carriers; aside from that they are (generally) against Net Neutrality.... But I know with my particular carrier, in Canada; If i wasn't using the plan that I am on; they would be charging me extra - and it would add up quick... so best to double check, maybe.

I came to this phone from a s7 edge that had VoLTe and Wifi calling on it never got charged for anything, would it be different with a non carrier phone?

I have no idea: I live in Canada and have never dealt with US carriers ~ that's something that you will need to verify on your own. Some may allow it; some may not... you guys do things quite a bit different south of the border, so I just don't know....
You should be able to find that out in the support/QA area of your Carrier's website ~ if not there, you can ask them directly.
but yeah, obviously, if it was working on your S7 - then your network supports it....
Hello, I am on Vodafone UK, recently my area is getting poor 4G coverage so the vodafone tech guy asked me to shift on wifi calling inside the house. He enabled it from carrier perpective but I have to enable it on handset as well. I struggled to find the option. Now using the secret code above I can see I have wifi calling option greyed out. btw, I am on stock android 8.1. What is the best and least intrusive way to get the wifi calling working on my handset.
I am not a developer but have experience with root on previous devices. If I have to install Magisk( is there a non-root option?) what module etc I need to install to get this working please..

Flash magisk and get the module called VoEnabler just sear h VoLte in the search bar it should pop up then after it installs restart phone and you should have the options.
Hi Praveenjohri - did you get this to work?
I too have a Pixel XL and on Vodafone UK; again the wifi calling option is greyed out.
Any layman guides as to how to Flash magisk and go about enabling this? Thanks in advance
Hey all, I've been pouring over the forums here and other places trying to find a solution to my issue. I just got a Pixel 2XL the verizon version and I'm using it on Straight Talk with an AT&T sim card. So far so good except I cannot get wifi calling. I'm pure stock, android 9/Pie, no bootloader unlocks/rooting etc. The wifi calling option does not exist in the phone app nor in the settings anywhere. Even when you search for wifi calling, it simply takes you to the network and connections section of settings but wifi calling is no where to be found. I've tried the adb command (the one that apparently used to work on Oreo but not longer does on Pie) and that didn't work (though I didn't expect it to since many people said it no longer works on Pie). I have an Unlocked Note 9 as well and its wifi calling works perfectly fine so does anyone have a way to make this work? Reception at my home is somewhat lacking and I really need wifi calling.
Thanks!

Could you attach a screenshot with the WHOLE section of "Mobile Network", found inside of "Network & Internet" in the Settings -- make sure that you click on the drop down menu next to "Advanced Calling" -- this will help make sure that wifi calling is really missing as well as might point something out that may help with a solution. Moreso, personally, because I can't even imagine what the settings menu looks like missing this...

It might be a long shot but try checking the settings in the Google phone app. There should be a place that says configure IMS calling. I have this setting here and in the network settings. If you have it that's where you can enable wifi calling.

Been there done that. I have no options for setting up IMS calling. I only have SIP options. Also, I have tried the phone dialer trick (where you dial *#*#4636#*#*) and that shows the wifi calling option as a toggle but its greyed out and cannot be enabled. I even tried an adb trick that used to work on the 1st gen pixels, but to no avail.
What happens when you enter your information here?
I'll have to initiate a chat with Straight Talk. Like you I have a Pixel 2 XL with a Straight Talk AT&T SIM. The only difference is that mine is unlocked. I just ran my phone number and the IMEI of the SIM through the linked site and it tells me my device is not compatible. Since I have a BYOP SIM and the IMEI is of the SIM itself, chances are high that the SIM needs replacing with one that includes WiFi calling support.
EDIT: According to the representative I just spoke with, there's no guarantee that changing to a newer AT&T SIM will enable the feature. The only guaranteed method according to tech support is switching to a T-Mobile SIM.

Hey thanks for the help. I tried that link as well (before I posted here; sorry I should have mentioned it) and it said my device is also not compatible. I initiated a chat with them and they told me the same; switch to T-Mobile. I am tempted to do so but the one thing holding me back is my home is already a place I get poor signal and T-mobile's coverage while much improved still isn't as good at AT&T's. I realize that having wifi calling would fix any lingering signal issues but I do manage to get 1-2 bars of 3G at my house with AT&T, I figure I won't even get that with T-Mobile. So I am weary of the switch. I'll have to consider it though. I could also wait for the full rollout of the latest google voice (since it finally is bring VOIP without the need of hangouts) and just use that number instead.
So I contacted Straight Talk and ordered a T-Mobile sim card. It'll be here in a few days. I will post my findings after it arrives. Straight talk support says wifi calling works with all T-Mobile sim cards so we will see.
Hello all,
Okay, so I finally got switched over to a T-Mobile sim card (again still with straight talk). It took a while cause I had to buy a new one (the old one I had expired; who'd have thought?). Anyways, switching to T-Mobile solved all my problems and then some. Not only do I have Wifi calling, but also HD voice, VOLTE, Tethering, and 3-4 bars of LTE (previously on AT&T, I got 1-2 bars of 3G). I realize the signal issues is merely a coverage thing but I can say with certainty that switching to a T-Mobile sim card will give you all the advanced features. I hope this helps others who might experience this problem. I've been using AT&T (in one form or another) for the better part of a decade and can now honestly say, AT&T sucks.
Is your download speed throttled?
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 ??

After rebooting device Go to settings > Wi-Fi & networks > SIM network Then find wifi calling toggle make enable it and enjoy wifi calling to make & receive calls.
To read all details on this topic then go Activate wifi calling in oneplus
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.

Hey!
My network operator supports VoWiFi feature, which i'm using a lot. I'm traveling quite often and using VoWiFi i can use voice services using domestic prices worldwide.
I have dual SIM card phone, in the second slot i have data sim.
Here the question comes - is there any way to configure a phone to use VoWiFi feature over data connection from the second SIM?
Essentially VoWiFi feature requires just internet connection, so in theory such approach should work, but do not know if it is possible to configure the phone this way.
Would appreciate any help
Gentlemen,
Any help would be appreciated.
I do have workaround - to use the second phone, share WiFi from it and then i can use VoWiFi on my main phone. But it' super inconvenient - you always need to care 2 phones.
If you know any apps/solutions please let me know.
I have dual SIM and I am able to have Wifi Calling enabled on both SIMs at the same time.
However - you are talking about VoLTE if you're talking about using the data connection on the second SIM rather than a WiFi connection.
Again, however, this should be possible - I can enable VoLTE on both SIMs. It's under Mobile Data in the Settings app...

VoLTE is different technology and is charged in my case differently. That's the reason i'm looking for an option to use data sim that the main sim uses this data connection for the call simulating "VoWiFi" and hence use domestic rates for the calls.
As i said above i can emulate this with two phones, but i still hope to find a solution where i can archive that with only one phone.
I'm looking for the same solution. My note 8 is rooted. The best I can do is set WiFi Calling as preferred over Network calling, but as soon as I activate Data for SIM#2, I lose WiFi calling and VoLTE for first SIM. Very inconvenient. Anyone have any clues how to force WiFi Calling using Data of SIM#2 ?
