I have been having problems for quite a while with receiving MMS messages and sending them as well. I am on a monthly pay as you go plan with no data and i am out of the tmobile network, (roaming still in US) but with my previous phone (sidekick 4g), I was able to send and receive MMS messages if i had wifi calling on. Now that trick doesn't seem to work but once every good while. All I get is the download option then my bars will get that "x" over them to signify no coverage and wifi calling will turn off and after a while start again and no progress will be made in the download process. I have tried having both national and international roaming on and neither seem to make a difference. I havent made any tries to change the apn settings. Could anyone help me solve my dilemma? Thanks any help will be greatly appreciated.

Even though you're on a pay-as-you-go plan, you'll still need data enabled to send/receive mms messages. Otherwise you'll receive the message but never be able to download the attachment. My phone is on a plan without data, but I still have to enable data in order to send and receive MMS messages. I also need a good amount of signal (it has to be practically full signal) for it to go through. As far as my experience goes, you can't send or receive MMS messages while Wi-Fi Calling is enabled. Your signal bars show no signal because your phone is switching between Wi-Fi Calling and mobile radio. As for APN setting, I'm not sure which ones do and don't work. Whenever I have issues with MMS, I look up the values and re-set them.
TL;DR Just enable data and give it a try.

I have T-Mobile as well. If you watch closely when receiving an MMS, you will see that although WiFi calling is enabled, the mobile data indicator will show up and transfer the data.
As far as APN settings are concerned, it has no effect on WiFi calling. If you can receive MMS when connected to mobile data then your APN settings are correct.

The thing is that I do have my data enabled and i do see the indicator showing the data transfer but its usually a "G" and the arrows neither go up or down, but its really strange yesterday I was able to test it out and I was able to recieve an MMS but I tried sending one right after and nothing happened. I will probably recieve the failed to send message later on today. I was just hoping there was a fix to this. And as far as I have seen with experimenting with it, WiFi calling must be enabled for me to send or recieve MMS if not I get the message of could not send or could not download right away
hello this is my first post
i unlock the moto e4 verizon with unlock code and it was unlocked but the phone cant make calls anyone else have this problem with the moto e4 verizon
What network u trying to use ? GSM services will only work for data and text .calls just end
Why don't you flash the stock images from the unlocked variant?
Be default, Verizon lock prepay phones from making call.
Although that's interesting because call works for me using Mint Sim. Try factory resetting as well.
Had the same problem, and then noticed that there was no APN listed. After manually entering the APN info from my other T-Mobile phone, I was able to make and receive calls without any trouble. Only thing was that the network drops to 3G during the call--not sure what to do about that.
maybe worth a shot
change preferred network from 4g to 3g, make a call, and change preferred network back to 4g. It's been working for me in cricket that way. same thing in post #8 of this thread

got the code from ebay
The Verizon E4 Plus works fine for me after unlocked. Tested with both AT&T and Tmobile with no issues. I purchased yesterday at Target for $99 and requested $2 unlock code yesterday. Got code this morning and it works great.
For some reason the device automatically drops to 3G when making or receiving calls. However voice quality is good if not HD.
Overall this is a pretty strong device for under $100...shame is you cant unlock bootloader.
Here's a video showing receiving call and dropping to 3G.
After putting my Cricket sim card in, entering unlock code, and setting up the phone, I followed the "trick" so phone calls would stop dropping to 3G and stay on 4G LTE but it would not work. I tried the following:
1. Change to 3G, made a call, change to LTE, made a call and it still dropped/showed 3G
2. Change to 3G, made a call, and restarted phone. Change to LTE, made a call and it showed 3G still
3. Change to 3G, made a call, and restarted phone. Change to LTE, restarted phone, made a call and it showed 3G still.
The Cricket APN is set correctly as I see 4G LTE when not in a phone call. I am able to make/receive calls, sms, mms (for mms had to use Textra over the default Message+ app).
Any other ideas I can try to get phone calls to be on LTE?

Hmm...someone on Slickdeals replied to me saying for Cricket, to get "HD-Voice", you need compatible Cricket phones, which the Moto E4 Plus clearly isn't --> https://www.cricketwireless.com/support/apps-and-services/hd-voice/customer/compatible-phones.html
Not a big deal about having phone calls drop to 3G. I was just curious because people and the wiki mention to do that "phone 3G/LTE" workaround.
I can't add any APN. On the Settings, I get a message "Access Point Name settings are not available for this user". There is no way for me to add any APN. Mobile Data works on my T-Mobile SIM.
Edit: Never mind. My bad. I was juggling two of these phones and only one of them had a SIM card. The one with the SIM card allowed me to add an APN.
But I wonder now how this is going to work when I travel abroad and have to use a SIM that would roam across multiple networks. I'd have to add each one manually? Without knowing which networks are available?
Phone(verizon e4plus ) took an ota while on att sim (was sleeping didn't notice til now ) now I only get busy signal tone when I call out I still have not and text messages just can't call out again without that dial tone happening
After the so called Verizon certification was announced yesterday I noticed a couple of things:
1. LTE+ icon is gone and now I only see LTE. It doesn't really bother me because LTE+ seemed to be slower anyway but can't help not notice.
2. Now this is a big issue for me: can't get volte work anymore. Tried a bunch of tricks with no luck: airplane mode on then off. The 3646 service menu with disabling then enabling volte flag. No luck.
Is anyone seeing the same behavior? Any workaround? My account is provisioned with volte and worked just fine until a few days ago.
I really want to like this phone but my patience is running thin with issue after issue.
My volte doesn't work either
Are you sure that your VoLTE was actually working before? Mine showed the LTE+ logo also but when I would made a call I had no internet service while on the call. Pretty sure it was never actually working, it just looked like it was.

VoLTE working fine here. Couple of things, make sure advanced calling is added on your line. Then set preferred network to global and enhanced 4g Lte mode is on.
Yea mine goes out of lte and lte plus when I make a call whether on global or any other setting
I have advanced calling turned on, enhanced LTE is checked and I have it on global....been that way since day one. It shows LTE+ but soon as I make a call all data drops out.
When I turn on enhanced 4g/lte mode I can't make phone calls. I get a server error. When off I can make calls but no data while in the call.
Fixed it! Like someone else mentioned. I needed to enable HD voice with Verizon. I used the "my Verizon" app and went to account add one. Once I enabled the HD voice add on then I went to phone settings and turned on enhanced mode. Now I can make calls and surf the net at the same time.

Go to your Verizon account and enable the HD voice add on. Then turn on enhanced 4g lte in phone settings.

I had Voice/Data working simultaneously since Day 1 (Sept. 1) and as of 2 days ago it stop. I've changed nothing and didn't install any new apps. HD voice is active and I have Global set. Did the Verizon Certification screw things up??

Same here. I popped the SIM into my old Pixel for testing and volte works just fine. It has to be something with the Essential (and certification on Verizon). I suspect that, before certification and assuming that volte was already enabled, Verizon would just mark the phone as "unknown" and leave the settings alone to whatever they were before. After the "certification" went through, they actually acknowledge it is an Essential phone and disabled volte.

The certification didn't seem to affect me. I've enabled and disabled advanced calling on my line to make sure it does indeed work. The best I can recommend is to call and make sure advanced calling is enabled on your line specifically. I've read people say they screwed up and enabled it on another line on the same account. I wouldn't put it past them to screw that up for you.
By advance calling, you mean HD Voice add on right?

Yes and no lol. See my screenshot. The feature is called advanced calling 1.0 and it activates HD voice. Confusing I know lol.
Then just make sure you have enhanced 4g Lte enabled on the phone and Preferred Network set to Global and reboot if you needed to change any of those settings.
Can you put the whole syntax of the 3646 code for service menu?

I was told that adding HD voice to my plan was the same as Activating Advance Calling 1.0 by Verizon. I still dont have simultaneous Data/Voice. :crying:

Interesting when I log into Verizon I do not see Advanced Calling 1.0 anywhere. I have the option to add either premium or free apps, HD Voice is under free apps and allows me to activate for all my lines.
I have two PH-1 in my house, I can say that neither phone supported VoLTE until I activated the feature on Verizon first, even though they both had VoLTE and Advanced Calling Selected. (Strangely, on one phone but not the other, I would get the server error and unable to make calls when enhanced calling was selected on the phone until I activated HD Voice)
Looking at the details during calls, for voice it was always 1xRTT and LTE was not available. After Verizon's certification and activating HD Voice (this took about 15 minutes and I got a text telling me features were added) followed by a reboot, VoLTE works. Under Setting - About Phone - Status - SIM Status, with HD Voice the Signal Strength is much better when calling and LTE remains in service during the call and phone never switches to 1xRTT.

And you set preferred network type to Global and turned on enhanced 4g Lte? Reboot if you change these settings.

Yes, these have been on for over 2 weeks. I've turned them off, restarted my phone, then back on with no luck. I've removed and added back hd voice, restarted, no luck. What gives! (I attached screen shots of my setting and my LTE discovery during a call.)

I just got the OP6T and switched from TMO to Fi, and was wondering if anyone has been able to get wifi calling working. I found an option in the dialer (*#800#) to enable wifi calling in the settings, but even after turning it on, it seems to have no effect. The strange part to me is I can send and receive SMS messages with airplane mode on while connected to wifi with the Android Messages app. I'm not sure if that's just an RCS thing or if wifi calling is partly working. I'm aware the 6T isn't an "officially supported" Fi phone and Fi says "wifi calling might work, but figured this should still work since it's on tmobile's network
I too would like to know this. Im currently with AT&T and have been considering Fi
I have an unlocked and rooted H910. It is my backup phone and I want to get it to work with a T-mobile mvno sim for wifi calling.
Calls and data work with the sim and the wifi calling toggle is there - but when I switch it on it spins and spins for a bit and then says failed.
I tried 10r stock and Alpha-Omega and they both do the same fail when the toggle is switched on.
I would download another ROM but am I chasing something that just will never work? Or is there a app or service that I can delete that ATT is checking for ATT sim before enabling Wifi calling?
Any tips are appreciated.
Thanks
Not sure if it matters to anyone - but I couldn't find an answer to this. I tried freezing a handful of ATT apps with Titanium Backup. I probably could have wrestled with that a little longer but I gave up. I now have an ATT MVNO sim and it all works fine. So I can confirm that the LG V20 works with wifi calling and VOLTE calling without much issue. (I did have to ask the provider to enable WiFi calling on their end - they made me confirm my 911 emergency address but then it just worked 10 mins later with a reboot)
So - if someone figures this out I am still interested in the answer!
Thanks for looking.
