Has anyone been able to successfully enable VoWiFi on a VZW network? Phone is the unlocked OP9Pro and I've tried the Logkit function switches but the actual switch within settings just turns right back off when I try to enable.
I am going to bring up what I mention about VoWifi from another topic. Please read carefully:
VoWifi on Verizon will only ever work on Verizon branded SKU's, they have a list of all approved IMEI they pull from manufacturers for each work order to allow their SKU's (specifically for Verizon!!!!) to use VoWifi and it's very unlikely they will white list your phone.
PS: Even on like or identical devices; VoWifi will not work, the only exception are the pixels for which Google and Verizon collaborated with marketing and of course iphones.
This is strictly the fault AND choice by Verizon. If you want wifi calling in any capacity you have four options:
1. Buy a phone direct from Verizon from their webstore or the myriad of brick and mortar locations such as best buy or themselves.
2. Buy a pixel.
3. Buy an iphone.
4. Switch carriers to a one that does allow you to wifi call regardless of devices and tell Verizon to sod off!

I want to get this phone but might want to switch carriers soon. I was planning on doing the Sprint EasyPay for it and paying off the rest of the phone if or when I decide to switch carriers. After I pay it off in full and unlock it, would I be able to use it on T-mobile, AT&T, Verizon, or any of their MVNO's? Basically what I am asking is does the Sprint S6 support the necessary bands that the other networks operate on, and if so, would calling or texting still work? I have heard of some phones that have a SIM card slot for the LTE SIM on Sprint, but voice and text don't work once unlocked and used on another carrier.
Thanks,
Kyle
I would really like to know the answer to this as well. I have been searching without a definitive result.
Specifically, can unlocked Sprint phone be used on Verizon?
Hello everyone, Just would like to know if anyone tried to activate their Pixel 3 XL eSim on T-Mobile? If it's possible, do I need to have a physical sim from a different carrier? Will eSim work overseas when roaming? Thanks

I was able to activate my esim on tmobile when people were going through the 'back door' method of not ever mentioning that they want to activate the esim. There has been threads on Reddit that they are no longer allowing that and that customer service is catching on and no longer allowing activations of esim on tmobile.
You do not need another physical sim from another carrier as your phone will work fine with just tmobile esim. Having that physical sim available will allow you to pretty much go with any other secondary carrier that you want to (just can't use both at once)
As far as the overseas when roaming, that I have to defer to as I don't (or haven't) traveled overseas yet. I would 'imagine' that it would work just as if you had a physical sim in your phone as many European carriers already use esim and is not a new technology over in the European countries.

Did you notice any difference in the signal reception? Is it the same as the physical sim, better or no different? Thanks

I haven't noticed any difference in signal.
After 5 or 6 times trying using different methods (Twitter, FB, app/site chat, etc.), I finally convinced a rep to activate my eSIM a couple of days ago. It does take some massaging to get them to agree to it. Most of the time I was told there wasn’t a way to activate on postpaid. In the end, I experienced faster loading times on sites and faster downloads my video and podcast apps.
Bought a couple of days ago, struggle to get Xfinity 4G work. The sim shows Verizon I guess Xfinity lease Verizon network. The voice and text works if no pic, video. The data completely doesn't work on 4G and 3G. Google the issue, seems if carrier is Verizon, it could fix by contact Verizon. However I am on Xfinity, and Xfinity only support one Android phone which is Samsung, any suggestion? Tons of thanks!
How did you add the phone to your account?
I switched devices in my Verizon account, put in the IMEI and was all set. You need HD Voice and CDMA less features
I use another phone to get Xfinity then insert the sim to 7T
Unfortunately unless Xfinity can add the "cdma-less" flag your service wont work right. I'm using usmobile.com (I actually ordered a sim card from them knowing their support staff have the software setup to actually set that flag..)
As far as I know it's Verizon postpaid, Verizon prepaid, usmobile and I think one other mnvo? I'm sure in the coming 6 months or so other mnvo will add support too.
contact Xfinity, was told the feature is not available. Now I am thinking either return 7T and wait OP 8 release or switch to US mobile for a couple of months.
First of all let me say that before u answer this question I have about as much knowledge on this as a 75yo grandmother, so please keep it extra simple. Most of what I read on these forums might as well be Greek. I have an LG G7 ThinQ. More specifically the G710VMX. I purchased it unlocked and brought it to Tracfone, yes I use Tracfone. It worked with the original SIM card I had from another phone until it didn't, that's when the issues began. Bought a 3 pack VZW, T-Mobile, AT&T sim kit intending to use VZW because has the best service in rural areas. That sim would not work so ended up with T-Mobile sim and bad service. Assumed the phone was GSM only so I suffered. Then I tried to put in an AT&T sim to see if that would give better service and it's GSM so I thought it would work, well it doesn't. Somehow this is only compatible with T-Mobile and US Cellular which is CDMA(? since I assumed phone GSM only). Now Tracfone and T-Mobile reps both are telling me that once they switch to VoLTE the phone will no longer work, I will need a new phone. How is that possible?? I love this phone and hace read that it is capable of operating in VoLTE but the setting to turn it on is not there. And all other networks when given my IMEI tell me it's not compatible. HELP ME PLEASE, I can't afford, nor do I want, a new phone right now.

time will tell, you know just use your phone as long as it's still working. don't let marketing fool you
Well, the other issue is that I need to get it away from Tracfone T-Mobile because their service is terrible in my area. I can't seem to get either a Tracfone AT&T or Tracfone Verizon SIM to work yet the phone is compatible (according to the websites respectively) with Cricket wireless (AT&T) and US Cellular (cdma). I don't understand... That is why I brought this question to all of you. I live and work in a rural area and it may sound crazy but all I want to do is make stinking phone calls.
Anyone have a rom that supports vowifi on Verizon? I already tried the logjit. I replaced it with the one from here, it'll toggle on and then back off.
There is pretty tight carrier <-> rom integration for Voice over wifi, so typically not. Verizon is especially finicky when it comes to that.

It's not your phone, it's your network.
Verizon will not allow vowifi on a non-verizon branded phone. Period.
Vowifi on Verizon works on the VZW branded 8, but not on any other version of that phone. Verizon claims that non-branded phones are a security risk because they haven't been through their testing.
