Hi guys, I have been trying to get VOLTE enabled on my VOG-L29. I have seen it in the settings with a German Vodafone SIM but when I insert the ATT SIM it disappeared, never to be seen again. (hard reset with either SIM, no SIM etc.)

I don't need WiFi calling but the VOLTE services are important.

Any way to get the phone enabled for them with ATT please?

Hi,

Don't know about USA and others countries and providers, but as far as I know its need more than one thing :
- a compatible phone
- a compatible carrier
- to be enable BOTH on phone AND on carrier side

Keep in mind that, unfortunately, this is not as standard as it must be.
Some carrier enable by default as soon as the connected phone support the function.
Some need to be enabled by the customer, with or without fees.
Some force to have a specific firmware or apps or any custom thing, or even specific hardware like device only sold by this carrier... Etc etc
Welcome to capitalistic world!

If your phone is already compatible, Did you set/enable that function on your account or contact your support service?

After that and if it's ok, you'll see the option again on your phone for that sim card.

Did you ''RTFM'' about your specific situation?
At least done some searches...contact your carrier...

If you like some help, better try to look before on your own and only after write a message with lot more details than 'it worked before.. Not now... Everything is different except the phone... I don't understand...'

Come on, it's XDA, not an happy few neighbour tech blog...

I believe your issue is with AT&T and not the phone. I have the same phone and both Wi-Fi calling and VOLTE work great on Canadian TELUS network. I didn't have to do anything other than enable it. I remember when I lived in the US for a while my CDN phone would not allow VOLTE to work on AT&T and would re-enable when ever I returned to TELUS's network.

This

AT&T does not let any phone not sold/branded by them to use VOLTE or Wifi Calling.

If you really need VOLTE go with T-Mobile.

Im on koodo, with a 6t, has all the bands and functionality but as the carrier never had oneplus (telus) no dice, which is similar to the att situation. I am looking to change up, as wifi and volte, along with dual sim are needed, but didnt realize vog-l29 gets the vog-l04 functionality here. Did you just boot the phone with the sim installed, and wifi/volte calling were already enabled (i have it enabled on my account already). This would save me going the samsung ds s10 plus route, and messing with csc codes on the hk version. I m a big leica fan, and just like the colour reproduction on huawei better, also the battery life.

it is up to your mobile provider if they supports it .. if yes phone will detect it and enable auto .. go to their store and ask them...

Yes, I have a dual SIM phone with a TELUS SIM in one slot and Bell in the other. Both SIMs support VOLTE out of the box. When I booted up the phone, both SIMS became active with VOLTE, I didn't have to anything manually.
