Long shot, but maybe someone else will have an idea. I know Fi uses T-Mobile for "compatible" phones, but for some reason, I can't get WiFi Calling to work properly. I have used T-Mobile MVNOs before with WiFi Calling working, but on stock it doesn't even give me the option, and custom ROMs enable but don't dial on WiFi. I tried using the OP dialer menu to force it to enable in OOS, but it is still not working. Anyone have experience with Fi on the OP6? Does WiFi Calling work for you? VoLTE works perfectly fine, but I really was hoping for WiFi Calling. Where I live, ten minutes in any direction is really rural, and LTE signal is nearly impossible to get.

Does WiFi calling actually show up in the SIM card settings, and does it indicate during a call with the WiFi logo? Also, are you both using OP dialer or Google Dialer?

EDIT: I went back to completely stock, non-root to do more testing. Initially, the option for WiFi Calling showed up in the SIM settings, but the taskbar never indicated it was running WiFi Calling, and there was no WiFi symbol when calling. After activating through Google Fi app, WiFi Calling option in SIM settings disappeared, and had to use the hidden menu to bring it back. No change in functionality. Still not working. Unsure how it isn't working.

According to this: https://support.google.com/fi/answer/6224695
The WiFi calling now is supported in none Fi designed phones too, i enabled it but there is no option in phone settings, Fi support is not a help either, I don't know using the hidden menu actually brings it up and working or not
