I have been trying to use my Galaxy S5 G900T on Consumer Cellular. The phone does connect to the CC network so it is unlocked and there are no issues with data/MMS. But no voice. There is nothing in the Settings menu that lets me select voLTE. The only option is Settings →More networks → Mobile networks → Network mode. Under network mode I have LTE/WCDMA/GSM (auto connect) selected. That is different than my VZW 900V that has a Settings option for Advanced Calling that turns on/off what VZW calls HD Audio, which is voLTE. The phone app has an option foLTE preferred and that is turned on. My understanding is that for voLTE to work, IMS has to be registered and my 900V shows IMS status on. I am not sure what is needed to switch the IMS status in the 900T from Not registered to on. Could this be something other than the SIM?
The 900T is stock. baseband version G900TUVU1GQC2.
Wouldn't it be better for you to ask Consumer Cellular.
What makes you think I didn't? Customer support simply tells you that it is an old phone and it does not support voLTE, which is plainly wrong, and when you respectfully disagree they hang up. I thought that there might be someone on the forum who actually knows something.

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?
Hey, I'm assuming there's at least a handful of you on BOOM! Mobile (Verizon)? They recently rolled out VoLTE on the Verizon network, but I'm having trouble getting it to work.
First off; I had an issue getting them to activate my Moto X Pure on their network (apparently mine is still on Verizon's "blacklist" like many were when this phone was first released). After much strife with their customer support, I just ordered one of their cheapo phones to activate the SIM, then popped it into my Moto X. No problem. They called later because the different IMEI apparently threw a red flag, but updated the info in their system and all was well.
So to get back to VoLTE, I had to fill out a form in order for them to activate the feature on my account, but got a confirmation email that it had been activated. I still didn't get the "advanced LTE" option in the cellular network settings on my phone, so I used the secret phone menu to "turn on VOLTE provisioned flag". This made the option appear, already enabled. However when trying to place a call, I immediately get "Server error. Try again later". Radio restarts, sets the VoLTE flag to off, and I can place calls as before.
So has anyone had better luck with VoLTE on Boom? I understand it works on Verizon, correct? It did work when I was on TMO. I'm completely stock 6.0 unrooted/locked. I suspect it may have to do with Verizon thinking my device is "incompatible"?
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.
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.
I recently got an AT&T prepaid sim card and I flashed my Canadian W model to G950U (AT&T) branded firmware. I am trying to activate the wifi calling and I get an error APP0008. I called AT&T and they keep telling me that the phone is not an original AT&T and wifi calling is not supported on non AT&T phones.
Has anyone seen this error and how did you resolved it.
Wifi Calling is exclusive for PostPaid accounts. I have Prepaid and they do not activate it for me.
Finally I was able to enable wifi calling on my S8 and Note 9. Both phones have been flashed with the ATT firmware. I have a prepaid account with ATT and I use Canadian models S8 and Note 9.
Of course I cross flashed them with the U firmware and my account has been provisioned for call waiting
Let me describe the problem here.
When I try to enable wifi calling I get an error message APP0008. When I try to read the network settings for call forward and call waiting Samsung says Something went wrong. There is a sim error or network error.
So for some reason Samsung phones can not read the settings from the network. Some people report that if they restrict the phone in 3G mode only are able to read the settings but for my did not make any difference.
My solution was to put my card on an iphone and try to see the call forward settings and enable/disable the call waiting. I got an error as well.
After that I put my sim card to my Samsung phones and suddenly the phones were able to read the network settings for call waiting, call fording.
At the end I went and enable the wifi calling and the phone brought up the ATT page for wifi calling and everything was ok.
The question here is what the Iphone is doing to the sim card/or network and then samsung is able to read the settings and enable the wifi calling?
For people that have problems enabling wifi calling on a ATT firmware (U models) and on Samsung phones and get the APP0008 error try the above
