If you open the phone dialer application and then click the more option in the top right corner and click settings you should have a option for wifi calling if you scroll right to the bottom of the page this is where you will find the wifi calling option.

Hi,
First place I looked and it is not there, spoke to Vodafone and Samsung, but, to no avail.
Thanks for information though.

I'm not sure then I've been reading that Vodafone isn't adding wifi calling to BTU phones they only add wifi calling feature to their own phones which have their firmware. I purchased my s7 edge sim free off contract so it is fully unlocked and has the BTU firmware and when I put my EE sim only contract in the wifi calling feature showed up in the place I directed you to. It probably is just that Vodafone hasn't pushed the wifi calling feature to phones that aren't from them.

Ah ok. That is a shame as my phone is sim free. I might just put a EE sim in there to see if the option turns up.
Thanks again for all your help.

If you're rooted, you can try changing your CSC to VOD (VODafone)

You can't do it without root. I am with Vodafone UK and on the BTU firmware and I don't see the WiFi calling option, but changing the CSC to VOD will bring back that option. Some features are controlled by CSC so you won't see them on a different firmware.

putting an EE sim in should make it work and bring the WiFi calling option up but i think it might have to be a pay monthly sim because EE don't support WiFi calling for pay as you go plans.

I believe putting in an EE SIM, turning on WiFi calling and then putting in a Vodafone SIM will make the option disappear. I'm not sure if this is what the OP is trying to do.

Who knows, it's still worth a try it might enable wifi calling and retain the feature when the Vodafone SIM is put back in.

Is VoLTE available for CMCC?

I'm a Nexus 6P user in China, my carrier CMCC provides VoLTE in my city, but I can't find the option on my phone. Is there some ways to turn the VoLTE on?

Exactly, its been more than 6 months we have been asking Google about this,but they dont even give an actual answer. They provided the same volte update for Pixel devices a month back. Also they care only about US.

TMobile

Curious.... What are people going to do if they get the phone on TMobile and it has no volte? Essential won't tell us so who knows

I thought this was already stated that it would work with all carriers including Tmobile

Yes but that doesn't mean it will support volte, HD or evs

I’m pretty sure it was asked directly if the phone would work with those features and they said if the service supports it then it will work as intended. The only questionable thing was some sprint uses which I forget what it was.

well, my Mi Note 2 supports VoLTE so I have no reason to think that this device will not work accordingly.

Yes on TMobile USA. Also, if I'm not mistaken, it's already certified on T-Mobile, just not Verizon.

Only Verizon certification is not complete. At least from the information I have.

I have the phone on T-Mobile and it supports Wi-fi calling, HD Voice, and VoLTE out of the box.

For wi-fi calling I just went to an area with wi-fi but no cell signal and confirmed I was able to make a call with it turned on. For VoLTE I just checked that the data didn't drop to 3G or EDGE when I made a call. And for HD Voice I just called another T-Mobile phone and it'll say "HD" next to the call timer if it's an HD Voice call.

Wifi calling turned on today on my phone after not working the past 3 days.

One plus 8 pro dual sim solution?

Hello, just received my new 8pro but it is still not supporting dual sim. It's already September and I think it's ridiculous. Customer service is saying the same crap that it will be available it the next update.
Did anyone found solutions to fix the problem? Is there some kind of rom you can install to enable it?
Also Galaxy note 20 ultra is available in dual sim supposedly. The ATT version is locked as well. I don't understand why. I would go for ATT because they give up to $1000 off for trade in but again I really need that dual sim capability. It seems to me that both phones can be rooted and the issue will be fixed? Can anyone confirm that?
Any help will be appreciated.

It can be done with box and software modification, as all 8 Pro's share same hardware and modem/sim slot.
If you don't have any tool for unlocking/repair - just bring to local mobile phone repair shop.

the Android 11 dp4 allows for dual sim in the US.

Agree, 11DP4 is a good route to go...

Yup, I have one VZW SIM1 and my work TMO SIM2 and works great in DP4.

I had no issues taking the Sim out of my pixel 2 when I went to the Oneplus 7 pro. Then from the 7 pro to the 8 pro I had no issues either. Used the same SIM.

Open Beta has also recently came out today and isn't filled with bugs so I would recommend going that route.

Yes, Beta 1 should be a better route..

DP4 was pretty stable. I just installed Beta 1. Its only been a couple of hours but it seems to be pretty good.

Is it possible to get access to Network roms like Three UK?

I'm after the Three UK firmware because I'm told by Three only their Oneplus 8 Pros have access to all bands on its network including the one that allows VOLTE

I've put the EU firmware on and no option for Volte so flashed it again to the UK firmware and still no Volte option so it must be something in the Three UK firmware that allows the band (800 MH)

There is no three specific firmware mate, it's just the EU firmware. Three phones are unlocked.
Wish there was something I could tell you but there's not..
There is no volte option on my phone either, not on 11 anyway. Was on 10.
The person you spoke to from three is blowing smoke up your bum.

If you know a way to test what bands are in use I'll be more than happy to test

Three are telling people this on the Oneplus forum, you said you've got no Volte feature but have it so do you see a Volte icon telling you its on?
I've tried a few Volte apps from the play store which confirm it isn't on mine, have you tried checking to see if you really have it

So if you turn off wifi then place a call you cant surf the net ? Does it drop to 3g ? I have the volte icon on my in2025 but the apps also show that it's off. Which is a lie / inaccurate.

I'm just testing using that app now.

App doesnt say it's active no.
This is the readout from

Says volte is provisioned but greyed out. So I think it is on but unable to turn it off.
Like I said it was on and had a visual status bar icon but doesnt on 11
Slightly dubious app though is it functional on 11?

How about if you're just on 4G? Turn off 5G. When I'm on a call using 4G LTE and surf web it stays on LTE and doesn't drop.down to say 4G or in the uk it'll probably be 2G or 3G if I was originally on 4G.

Comical. Mines the other way around. Shows volte in status bar for both sims but that menu shows volte off. However disabling one sim then shows those options volte enabled via that menu posted. Rather confusing so to speak. However in practice volte is working.
Edit worked it out. For me, if I select voice call as "ask .." then those sliders in the 4636 menu are off.
