Anyone else enjoying using VoLTE on their Pixel with AT&T? Conversations are so much clearer now. Could never go back to not using it.
Pixel 2 XL and AT&T VoLTR
- Thread starter g33k3r
- Start date
I didn't have hd calling enabled until I installed the 8.1 beta but it's so much better now

Didn't realize it was because of the beta but yes, didn't realize what a difference it makes.
If HD voice is working on the beta is WiFi calling working as well?
Once you install the beta, you just go under mobile, advanced, and you should see a lte setting
Yep. Just tried turning on LTE only and I cannot make a phone call. So option is there, but not working at present.
Anybody know how to enable WiFi calling on this phone, or does ATT block any phone not approved and sold through them?
I just chatted with At&t. They told me that both my pixel 2xl and my wife's pixel are compatible for HD Voice and Enhanced Messaging. They told me to wait 2 hours and reboot. I'll update this post with the results
How did you get VoLTE turned on?
Edit: Realized there must not be a switch. Also decided to not be a dummy and actually read the first page of posts. LTE stays on for me when calling now.
Now if we could get enhanced messaging (10 mb limit) and wifi calling/texting, we'd be onto something

interesting. did you have to give them IMEI or any other info particular to those phones?
So after 11 hours still no features. I contacted At&t and am now being told that the original Pixel XL is not compatible. The new Pixel 2XL may be but I will have to be approved. I provided my IMEI to the rep and they are supposed to email me back within 72 hours. I also provided her an ad I found from At&t encouraging people to bring their new Pixels to At&t. I provided some screen shots below for you guys

Yup. I highly doubt this will go anywhere. Even if the pixel 2 has the capabilities, AT&T wants people to lease phones from them with their branding, period. I got an S8 through the Next program at launch (April) and VoLTE worked no problem. Before that I brought my own unlocked devices, Nexus 5, 6, and 6p. None of them ever were able to use advanced features.That sounds a lot more like AT&T

Yep. It would be a clear departure from their current position that only AT&T branded devices get these advanced features.
One can hope though.
Just had a chat with AT&T. You do need to contact them and give them your IMEI to get VoLTE working. Mine now works.
