So, I was an idiot and didn't activate advanced calling on my Verizon S5 before switching to T-Mobile. Now when I go into settings and advanced calling, it tells me I need to activate Advanced Calling Features to enable them. When I click activate, it gives me an error every time.
I stupidly thought I could just put in my old sim card and try, but that didn't work either.
Is there any way that I can enable advanced calling and WiFi calling on my Verizon S5 without reconnecting to the Verizon Network?

So I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5, It's unlocked of course but I have it on Verizon network because I needed Wifi Messaging to work but now that they offical have "Wifi Calling" enabled am I able to take it to say AT & T or Metro PCS and use their Wifi Calling and it'll be ok?
Anyone know how to turn this off? Not yet rooted S8 VZW version (USA).
As far as I'm aware this is common on most handsets and happens as a result to boost and strengthen your network connection if weak.
Settings -> Advanced Calling -> Activate Advanced Calling
Once you get that activated you'll be able to talk and surf data at the same time as long as you're on LTE.

Verizon service required to activate. The only problem, I am using Straight Talk third party service. If rooted will i be able to enable?
I just now switched from AT&T to T-mobile because I finally got sick of AT&T for various reasons including very high prices. The network lock is removed. How can I get wi-fi calling to work on this phone? When I try to enable it, I get "To enable this service you must confirm your emergency address.". Then I see "Wi-Fi calling lets you make and receive calls over Wi-Fi with your AT&T account. When you use Wi-Fi Calling, information about the country where the Wi-Fi connection is made will be sent to your carrier. Learn more about Wi-Fi Calling.". The last two words are a link to https://m.att.com/shopmobile/wireless/features/wifi-calling.html?referrer=. It seems there's a hangup of AT&T versus T-mobile. What should I be doing to get this working?
In case anyone is wondering, this particular phone is being used because it must be kept unrooted. I have a G900T that has been rooted.
I have an unlocked Galaxy S7 Edge (SM-G935U). My carrier is Total Wireless (Verizon MVNO). I recently got a new office at work, and the Verizon coverage in this part of the building is terrible. I use wifi for data but cellular calling basically doesn't work at all.
I've been looking at other networks, and I'm leaning toward T-Mobile or MetroPCS, one of the reasons being they have wifi calling and the wifi at my office is plenty fast. I checked in settings to see the wifi calling option, but when I go to settings > connections > more connection settings, which is where the wifi calling setting is supposed to be, there's nothing about wifi calling.
I had a thought that maybe the wifi calling option isn't there because my current carrier doesn't support wifi calling, so I contacted Samsung support. I asked if I get a SIM from a carrier that supports wifi calling, would the wifi calling option be enabled. They said that unlocked phones don't support wifi calling at all.
This confuses me, because this thread mentions some people were able to use T-Mobile wifi calling on an unlocked S7/S7Edge. But that thread is older, so maybe for some reason wifi calling was removed from the unlocked S7 Edge with the Nougat update?
I suppose the only way to find out for sure is to get a T-Mobile or MetroPCS SIM and see what happens. But is anyone able to shed some light on if this is even worth trying? I suppose it's also worth trying out just to see if regular cellular calling on T-Mobile might be fine at my new desk, but hopefully there's some way to do wifi calling.
Unfortunately I think you need the sm-g935f to get t mobile wifi calling. Don't think it was ever achieved on the U models
I had an s7 edge from T-Mobile (SM-G935T) but I flashed the unlocked firmware essentially making it a SM-G935U and I had VoLTE and Wifi calling working with no issues. It was about a month ago, so it was on Nougat. I would expect no issues with an actual SM-G935U on T-Mobile.
Well, I answered my own question. I switched over to the T-Mobile 10 GB $50/month prepaid plan and when I changed SIMs the phone gave me a "reconfiguring your device for new SIM card" message. Wifi calling is now active.
Also, this is a list of phones that support T-Mobile wifi calling. I probably should've checked here first.

How can I enable for MVNO (StraightTalk) with Verizon S8 G950U device, Advanced Calling (HD calling VoLTE/simultaneous use of mobile and voice data)?
Device is rooted with PartCyborgRom/SamPWND method mentioned by @still_mohawk, #355.
Would switching to ST sim for AT&T or T-Mobile fix?
I believe both carriers do not restrict simultaneous use of mobile and voice data?
Note: StraightTalk Wireless services can use either big 4 carrier network.
Any thoughts to enable dual use data/voice would be appreciated, thank you for any help you can share!

Yes but it won't work, at least not with wifi calling. I forced mine and I just stopped getting phonecalls lol.
You can try volte I think everyone has that activated if you don't already have it on. Use the app "shortcut master" and find the secret code that takes you to the settings app for it
I loaded Shortcut Master and found VoLTETestUI (com.test.LTEfunctionality) favorited and opened settings, turned ON N/W settings and when making a call the LTE stays on but the phone immediately hangs up. I changed the mode starting at 0-9 but none worked to maintian LTE connection. Is there an "HVoLTE test mode" setting that will work? Is there an APN setting that will keep LTE on during calls for mobile data/browsing?

CyberFem, any luck with this? I'm in the same boat. Tried shortcut master, got as deep as you did. Can't get VoLTE to work with my verizon s8 on total wireless (verizon mvno). TIA
No luck here.
