Wifi Calling - O2 in UK

[shamblesuk]

Hi All

Hoping to get some clarification on this. Tried searching to no avail.

I have the one plus 5, rooted, running stock ROM and elemental X kernel. Am I able to get WiFi calling on this?

I can't find the setting in 'Sim & Network'.

Any help/comments appreciated.

Thanks

The OnePlus 5 is not enabled for this service on O2 in the UK. Only handsets at the moment enabled are iPhone X, iPhones 8 Plus, 8, 7, 6S, 6S Plus, 6 and SE. Samsung Galaxy S8, S8 Plus, Note 8, S7, S7 Edge and J3 2017. Sony XZ Premium, XZ1, XZ1 Compact. OP 5 should be coming soon.

No, according to O2 here it's only available for iPhone and the Samsung S7 and Sony Xperia XZ. Also for the Android phones mentioned it seems to suggest stock (O2) firmware so not sure if the alternative kernel will cause an issue as and when (if?) the OP5 is supported.

Thanks guys. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

surely with root, xposed and magisk in the mix we could mod it in?

if the phone is made to present itself as a samsung phone, or made to behave as a samsung phone would for the VoLTE and wifi calling, could we circumvent the lack of support for the oneplus 5 ? much like we do with installing custom roms for acquiring the latest android versions?

Doubtful, as the Android device, at the moment, needs to be running O2 firmware.

Hi, I've seen reports that Wifi Calling and Voice Over 4g works in the Oreo Beta on O2 in the UK. As long as you've activated 4g calling and Voice Over Wifi in your account the options to active it then become available in setting on the phone on the Oreo Beta apparently.

My phone just updated to Android 8.1 and now voice over 4g and voice over wi-fi are now available in settings and I have them enabled working.
