Just wanted to share my experience with WiFi Calling. I am in the US on T-Mobile and WiFi calling has been working for me surprisingly. VoLTE has also been working wonderfully. I've tested this on a Global Mi 9 running Stock and the Xiaomi.eu rom.

Enter these codes into the Dialer to enable the options in Settings. (Settings < SIM Cards & mobile networks < Sim Card Settings < VoLTE Enabled/Make Calls using WLAN)

VoLTE *#*#86583#*#*
VoWIFI *#*#869434#*#*

Things should work after you enable the two options. This depends on whether or not your carrier supports it and your e911 address set (US only?).

Some issues you might run into is that the option for Network Preference is greyed out and you will unable to change that option. I've had some success if you disable it and re-enable it and click on that option really fast, it will go through. When you first enable VoWiFi, it is important that you get into this menu and change it to WiFi preferred or WiFi Calling won't work.

UPDATE:

Manually creating your carrier APN worked great for me. Been testing it for about 2 weeks and I haven't had any issues with VoLTE/VoWiFi. For example, for me on T-Mobile, I created a new one with the following settings. The important part I'm guessing is the APN type. Also make sure that your carrier has enabled WiFi Calling on their end as well.

APN: fast.t-mobile.com
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMC : 310
MNC: 260
APN type: default,supl,mms,ims,cbs
APN protocol: IPv4/IPv6
APN roaming protocol: IPv4/IPv6

Can verify, works with Chinese Mi 9 8GB 128GB version. I'm also on T-Mobile. Now there is "HD" written on the signal icon.

It does when I'm outside. RN it isn't showing tho, I'm in the basement. I'm pretty sure I've seen it before when I'm on the bus or something

Worked like a charm on Romania's Orange network. Both VoLTE and VoWiFi seem to work well.
Thank you for the tip.

I don't know if it helps, but in Romania on Orange I have 4G+ almost all the time while on my old Oneplus 5T I didn't...

Hmm...I've activated both too but only get the volte option, no wifi calling toggle switch. Tmobile USA running no root, stock miui 10.2.3. Did anyone on tmobile USA get wifi calling to work? Also, if you did, does it also activate wifi texting?

Update: guessing the volte doesn't require a restart but wifi calling requires a restart. To those who run into the same prob as me.

I activated volte and wifi calling, but when I go on flight mode and activate wifi, wifi calling is not working and there is no sign in status bar too. I am Vodafone Germany and on my Samsung it was working.
How did you get it working?

Did a quick test on mine (T-Mobile/Germany) and it's working. I just used the dial-codes and enabled wifi calling. Had to change the preferred connection type to wifi-prio though - wasn''t working with cellular-prio and flight mode before.

Download a signal app from the Play Store and make a phone call. If you still have 4G when making the call Volte is working. If the signal drops to 3G after the call connects Volte is not working.

I have a Mi 9 global version running the latest stable global Room. I'm trying to turn VOLTE on, but I'm nota being sucessfully.

I've tried enable It via MCC code (*#*#4636#*#*) but It doesnt work. The option to enable VOLTE os greyed out.

How can I enable It? My old s7 suport VOLTE with the same sim card.

    I'm updating my last post with the "definitive" fix for Wifi & VoLTE, including problems with IMS registration & RCS.
    - For those on mi.com, don't hesitate to go to this post
    - I'm ranting a bit on mi.com, but the way they build roms is an absolute nightmare - we know where the money was saved now....


    FIX FOR VOLTE & VOWIFI, RCS on MIUI STOCK ROM
    - Root needed
    - ActivityManager 3.3.0 strongly recommended (com.sdex.activityrunner)
    - Tested on STOCK EEA 10.2.30
    - Please CANCEL any "dialer code" you might have input before, as it only works on one card slot ( VoLTE *#*#86583#*#* VoWIFI *#*#869434#*#* )

    > It should say "Carrier check enabled"

    I. Edit the SYSTEM/BUILD.PROP file
    Remove the Xiaomi blocking lines in the build.prp & add/modify :
    persist.dbg.ims_volte_enable=1
    persist.dbg.volte_avail_ovr=1
    persist.dbg.vt_avail_ovr=1
    persist.dbg.wfc_avail_ovr=1
    persist.radio.VT_ENABLE=1
    persist.radio.rat_on=combine
    persist.radio.data_ltd_sys_ind=1
    persist.radio.data_con_rprt=1
    persist.radio.calls.on.ims=1
    persist.radio.volte.dan_support=true
    persist.data.iwlan=1
    persist.data.iwlan.ipsec.ap=1
    persist.sys.cust.lte_config=true
    persist.rcs.supported=1

    >> Check for duplicates !

    2. Reset and empty the app: "Google Carrier Services" (com.google.android.ims.apk)
    3. Reboot
    4. You should now have "IMS registered" when typing *#*4636#*#*

    Additionnal fixes if needed====================================

    Additionnal fixing can be made using the app "Activity Manager" listed at the beginning
    > Launch "Modem Config" (com.xiaomi.mbnloader), find your carrier, enable, reboot
    > Launch "com.qualcom.qti.ims.ImsSettings", input your number using the international version (+01999999999 for example)

    More Additionnal checking if it still doesn't work
    Check apns-conf.xml for your carrier IMS config, try IPV4V6 where necessary

    NOTE : VoLTE has to be enabled by your carrier on your phone plan. Sometimes they will tell you "Your phone isn't listed as compatible - Of course because Xiaomi blocked it - but I can activate VoLTE anyway - Say yes"

    To continue, the /system/etc/APNS-conf.xml is absolutely outdated, most of the info here seems to have been taken on a bad google check.
    - I suggest everyone check this file and their carrier, add IPV4V6 support, etc

    The codes enable/disable checking for VOLTE. You should do the codes until both say disabled. Then you can go into configuration where the options will no longer be greyed out so you can force to use or not use.

    Are you on the EEA ROM? Xiaomi is having problems with bugs in MIUI builds that are supposed to be stable but the EEA ROM for the MI 9 seems to be especially snake bitten.
    If you are on the EEA ROM I would seriously consider switching to the Global instead which doesn't seem to be experiencing issues as serious as those on EEA.
    Click to expand...

    Nope, that's just Xiaomi doing an absolute garbage on that phone.
    There is a line, in the build.prop, REMOVING VOLTE in EUROPE on PURPOSE.
    WTF ?!!!

    There is a specific code to remove VoLTE and it's even called MIUI DELETE, I'm beyond words
    #set ims related prop
    # MIUI DEL: START
    #persist.dbg.ims_volte_enable=1
    #persist.dbg.volte_avail_ovr=1
    #persist.dbg.vt_avail_ovr=1
    #persist.dbg.wfc_avail_ovr=1
    # END
    Click to expand...

    You have to be rooted
    MAKE A BACKUP
    Remove the # on that build.prop on the 4 persists
    Add the other two persist if they aren't here by default
    Save and reboot

    On a side note, I will consider going to the global rom, but there might be some specific vendor shiz in the EEA Rom i'm currently investigating. I'm also trying to get the Google DIaler Visual VoiceMail to be set up, and it's a nightmare to get carrier info (vvm_type_OMTP parameters for example)
    - For those being rooted and having a problem on EEA roms with the above activated, try downloading Activity Manager 3.3.0 (not on the play store for obvious reasons)
    - Look for Modem Config
    - Check if your country is in here, and your operator if you're lucky
    > Path is Vendor/firmware_mnt/image/modem_pr/mcfg/configs/mcfg_sw/generic/eu for europe, I'm unsure about which folder is the generic/generic one (for MVNO for example, my guess is on "DT" but unsure)

    I think I found a fix for good. Create a new APN and call it whatever you want. Here are the settings I used for T-Mobile. The most important thing I think is adding ims to the APN type.

    APN: fast.t-mobile.com
    MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
    MMC : 310
    MNC: 260
    APN type: default,supl,mms,ims,cbs
    APN protocol: IPv4/IPv6
    APN roaming protocol: IPv4/IPv6

    With these settings, no more issues with VoLTE calls or WiFi Calls. Sound has gone through for me for every call I've gotten since and WiFi calling stays on forever instead of more than 5 mins at a time. Missed calls are no longer a concern. I hope this helps someone.
