No one actually has a TMO Moto X yet, I'd guess no to your question though.

T-Mobile said no WiFi calling with motoX as not a true carrier phone

T-Mobile WiFi calling

Did anyone ever figure out how to get WiFi calling on the X? Sort of dampers the new X given tmobiles announcement today
Unfortunately, Moto X is not on the list of supported devices that are receiving wifi calling from Tmobile

I know that, I'm asking if it was ever ported or anything.

[Q] VoLTE

Will the VoLTE feature be available for this model? Nexus 6...Hard choices!
It is already available on 2013 Moto phones and onwards. Of course it will be on this phone.
It'll be available in the first few months after launch.

While I would love for this to be true, it's not. I specifically passed on the Z3V and am returning my Moto X 2014 because it is not available on either, and neither do simultaneous data/voice without the "Advanced calling 1.0" update, which who knows when it will arrive.
Sad

I get simultaneous calling/data as long as I am on 4g.
Motorola/Verizon have had the fastest updates.
Very surprised the Moto X did not have the update. Then again, the VoLTE is just rolling out for Maxx/Ultra/Mini now.
Can I use VOLTE to call people on other carriers? Probably just a stupid question but I read a post on another forum that for Verizon VOLTE to work so you can use data while on a call it has to be two Verizon VOLTE devices AND both need to be in a VOLTE area...
I assume this isn't true and that I can use VOLTE to call anyone and still use data.

I believe right now it only works on VZW->VZW where both people have VoLTE. Eventually it will work across other carriers, but not until they all adopt the technology more widely.
The HD voice and video calling only work for calls to other volte phones. But you can still call other people with VoLTE enabled and use voice/data.

Advance Calling on Prepaid?

Is't possible to turn on Advance calling on my Droid Turbo? Is this a phone feature or Network feature? I'm on Verizon prepaid. It's kinda sucks why Verizon doesn't enable it the first place! I bought it outright

No VoLTE/HD Voice on prepaid, sorry. If you move your device to a postpaid line, it will work.

So does the HD voice can only be use in VOLTE by Verizon? What if I'll put a TMOBILE sim in a VOLTE by Tmobile location. Will I get simultaneous hd Voice and Data connection too?

I don't know how it works on TMobile.
For Verizon, you have to add the HD Voice feature to your line before it will work. Verizon Prepaid lines don't get the option to add the HD Voice feature to their lines so that is why it won't work on Verizon Prepaid.

Which international version is best for tmobile?

I was thinking about getting an international phone but there are a few versions N930F/FD/S/L/K . Which would be most compatible. As I understand it, the downside is missing some of the bands for data. 3g is the problem I think. Can anyone confirm this or input any additional issues.

N930F/FD will definitely work on T-Mobile...
I think WiFi Calling and VoLTE won't work and you might miss a band or two but it will work just fine.

will you be able to keep the speed at 4g?
Isn't WiFi Calling a built-in feature of Android 6, now? I use it on my Nexus 6P and it has no T Mobile software at all.

I believe 4g is ok. The some bands for 3g have reduced speeds.
N930F has all Tmo bands. WIfi calling and VOLTE will not work with stock rom, but will if/when custom roms come out.
Did anyone go this route? I see couple for sell on ebay.

I dont' really care for wifi calling as I can forward my calls to Google Hangout/Voice.
can you clarify the need for VOLTE?
How to activate google hangout/voice I never used that feature since I have a note 3 and voice and data simultaneously is always been available thanks

Very odd as both worked in the S7 FD version I had for a bit. The requirement isn't bands but that the TMO sim has to be in sim1 not sim2. If it's in sim1 then both work. Also, VoLTE is hidden and always on if supported.

unlocked on Verizon

I'm not really new to this. I would always buy the phones, then root them when root was available. My question is if I buy the unlocked version and have it on Verizon, does anyone know what features won't work? Like I believe wifi calling on tmobile won't. But what about Verizon?
I THINK similarly, HD calling and Wifi calling won't work. I remember this from other discussions of unlocked Galaxy devices on Verizon.

Ok, thanks.... That is the problem I'm having cause I don't know about that part. Like I said, I normally just buy the phones then root them when root is available, but the s8 never got it or it took so long I didn't worry about it anymore. But I'm going overseas soon and would like to just swap sims and not worry about international charges
HD calling and volte should work. wifi calling a visual voicemail won't. check Samsungs page for compatibility.
my pixel 2 unlocked has EVERYTHING working on Verizon tho. dunno why.

Features you lose with unlocked phone on verizon network.
Visual Voicemail (VVM)
LTE Video Calling
Enhanced Address Book
VoWiFi (WiFi calling)
Family Base
Family Locator
that's worth it. no big deal except maybe wifi calling.

no way, cellular trash store will offer you phone with unlocked bootloader.

I have an unlocked S9+ on Verizon prepaid. Everything works fine including VoLTE and WiFi Calling. The only thing that doesn't is Visual Voicemail, but that's because I'm on prepaid. I'm sure the S10 will be the same.

Does Video Calling work on the unlocked s9+ on Verizon?
My unlocked note 9 on Verizon didn't have any features except HD calling and VoLTE. I worked with Verizon tech support forever, they couldn't figure it out. They indicated it was a Samsung issue. Samsung said it was a Verizon issue. I sold it on swappa then got a Verizon branded one because I need WiFi calling and texting.
I really hope my unlocked S10 plus isn't the same.

You could've flashed the VZ fw onto the U1. I converted my TMO Note to U1/XAA for better battery. Knox isn't tripped by signed packages.

I think Video Calling and Visual Voice Mail are for Post-Paid accounts only. I'm on Pre-Paid.
Plus I can use one of several other apps to video call, so I don't miss it. VoLTE and WiFi calling work great.
I can confirm that Wi-Fi calling IS indeed working on my unlocked S10+ on Verizon. Imagine that! The only thing I'm missing is Verizon's native video calling but that feature is so useless that it's not even worth mentioning.
Also, this thread is helpful describing all the features that work on Verizon:
