Yes I have wifi calling. Unlocked BTU
I'm on EE
Wi-Fi calling
Did you have to enable calling on the S8? I checked an S8 (BTU) demo phone at Carphone Warehouse and could not find this option. What process did you go through with EE to get it working and are you happy with it? I cannot get a signal indoors and want to buy unlocked S8 to use use WFC.
Thanks, Mike
I am on BTU with Three - but WiFi calling is not enabled;
The XEU (UK unlocked from 3rd party seller) variant has a Wifi calling option in call settings. This works for EE but I had a new contract and Wifi calling didn't get enabled until a few days later. VoLTE didn't work at all on XEU with EE, so I installed the EVR firmware for that. Maybe try sticking the VOD firmware on yours?
For Vodafone all you need to do is call the support then ask for wifi calling issues.
Ask them to send you the configuration to update the provisioning and the wifi calling option will appear instantly.
One question to people in the UK with any Carrier unlocked Note 8. Is the RCS or Chat in your stock messages app?
Thanks
Another thing not to overlook (if you are struggling to find the settings) is where you're looking for it.
On my old N6P it used to be in the advanced WiFi settings but with the Note 8 its in the phone app. Took me a while to figure that one out!
I have sim-free Note 8 and wifi calling on EE.

About this issue. I am on Three network. I reflashed my note 8 with the three firmware (H3G) and it works fine. However, when I switched back to the XEU firmware the option completely vanished. Whilst I was in the XEU firmware I tried an EE sim and I get WiFi calling as well as 4G+ (whatever that is) so I know that my WiFi calling is not broken but its not supported by three unless you run their firmware.

I'm using the latest NEE Oreo firmware, and before that used the XEF release - I'm able to use WiFi Calling on Three in the UK with the Oreo release, whereas it wasn't an option on the non-3 Nougat ROMs.
I'm on BTU with three sim on Oreo I've got Wi-Fi calling which is brilliant as I've come from the iPhone 8 plus
Hello Friends,
Having Googled Up & Down accross the Interwebs, I am frankly Stumped.
The UK Mobile Network EE offers the P8 Lite (2017 Model) (PRA-LX1) with Wifi calling directly.
Until recently they had web posts saying this phone is WiFi Calling compatible whether purchased from EE or indirectly.
However this is not the case. My Version was purchased unlocked, from Carphone Warehouse UK.
I have force updated the firmware to PRA-LX1C432B191.
I cannot get the Wifi Calling option to Display (Or VOLTE)
However B191 firmware is supposed to support VOLTE & WiFi Calling.
Suspect either some custom apps or configurations exist on the EE provided phone that is not on My handset.
I am Happy to root, Mod, Unlock and try to enable this option.
Where do I start looking? Could you tell me where I can find the right firmware,
or mods, hacks or changes to enable this feature?
Why would the EE shipped phone have wifi calling but the unbranded unlocked version not?
It is the very highly strange situation.
Cheers friends, looking forward to your insights and suggestions.
WiFi calling may need to be enabled on your account by EE tech support, this used to be the case a few years back when I was a tech support agent for them.
Confirmed, wificalling is enabled on my account,
They also did a network refresh on my account.
Still cant see the option.
*bump* anyone can help me enable wifi calling feature on this device?
the rom should support it
I'm in a similar situation, although I am still stock at LX1C432B115. Can I ask how you force updated to 191?
I had a look at an EE handset and that had the build PRA-LX1C440B163 and the wifi calling menu items were visible. I had wondered whether flashing that (or the latest ee build C44?) onto the phone was possible\the easiest way to get it working.
Hi all
I have read online that the Xperia 1 ii will be available on Vodafone and via carphonewarehouse in the UK, but have seen nothing relating to preorders there?
Is it that there are no preorders via these outlets and o2 has exclusivity on the preorder bonus?
The better value will always be O2 anyway with the refresh trick, but just seems odd that the phone officially goes on sale on Thursday next week and only o2 have offered up preorder slots?
The Xperia 1 II is exclusive to O2 at the moment. Not sure when other networks will get it.
I'm with Vodafone as I get the 15% discount and can't find anything about this phone coming to Vodafone. Hope it available in August when it's time for me to upgrade
It's on the Vodafone UK website now.
Could someone with the Xperia 1 II from Vodafone UK please tell me Customization Version of the firmware that came with the phone? I ask because I want to get Vodafone VoLTE working on my O2-provided phone, but the only Vodafone firmware on XperiFirm right now is 1321-8394 which is described as "Vodafone LC Net Locked" and I'm a bit worried about the "Net Locked" bit and don't know what that means.
You can find your Customization Version by opening the service menu by dialling:
*#*#SERVICE#*#*
Then Service info -> Software info -> Customization Version
Thanks

I got the information off someone on Reddit. Phones bought directly from Vodafone in the UK ship with the 1321-8394 "Vodafone LC Net Locked" firmware. We suspect this firmware is locked to work only with a Vodafone SIM so don't recommend it. If in the UK, you're better off with the 1321-7192 "Customized UK" firmware, as on this firmware VoLTE and WiFi calling both work on Vodafone UK and the other UK networks too.
Has anyone else noticed that after the 58.0.A.3.88 update that Vodafone UK WiFi-Calling no longer works on the Customized UK firmware?
I have the UK customised firmware to move me away from O2 ROM,
I had the new update rolled out automatically this morning.
WiFi calling didn't seem to work initially but then some app auto ran and said something like 'Downloading IME data" I clicked it and let it complete and is said vodafone WiFi calling updated or some sort of similar message.
Seems to be working fine now, I have a VF business sim installed.

OK, just was in an area there with poor mobile signal and WiFi calling is working fine. Thing is the #*#*4636#*#* menu shows that Wifi Calling not provisioned, and there is no longer an option to turn it on or off in the network settings. However, when you need it WiFi calling is still working fine and IMS status then shows Voice over WiFi: Available.
Hi guys,
Seems like a common problem with Xperia phones in that carrier settings on the stock rom the phone ships with doesn't have VOLTE or WIFI Calling enabled so even if your carrier has provisioned it, you can't enable it via *#*#4636#*#*
Does anyone have a fix or something that can be flashed onto the phone to help?

So this is what it is. I imported my Xperia 1 ii from Clove UK and was using it with Verizon didn't get VOLTE and WIFI calling.
I switched to tmobile didn't get VOLTE and WIFI calling, after some research and googling found out that Google Project Fi will give both WIFI calling and VOLTE.
3 days before I ordered my project Fi sim from Google it arrived last night I inserted it into my phone and Voila I get WIFI calling there is a toggle for that and also I am getting VOLTE.
I WAS paying 85 dollars on T-Mobile magenta plus plan on 1 line now I will be paying 80 dollars with Google Fi for 1 line. I am gonna put out a YouTube video tonight for Xperia 1 ii with Google fi.
Umm not everyone wants to switch to Google Fi someone else suggested this but nobody wants to switch lol

I don't know why people don't want to switch, I am talking about single line with taxes included it's 78 dollars for unlimited. Look at Verizon, T-Mobile and att what they are charging for one line. Then only on Fi you get wifi calling and volte with Xperia 1 ii. Those were enough reason for me to switch.
I'm glad it works for you, however, I pay $80 for 3 lines and true unlimited data on Tmobile. Google-Fi makes no sense for me and there are no reports of someone flashing the US firmware to see if it works yet. Some of us are waiting for someone to test it out.

It's just my point of view, even thou Google Fi works on T-Mobile network but there service is just out of this world where ever I have gone with it. No network congestion, Google made Android and they know how to optimize the cellular network.

It'll work. I'd flash the US firmware, but it's still on an old version. I'll flash when I get back stateside at the end of July. VoLTE works on t-mobile as long as you're on US Firmware. Has worked for my XZ3 and 1.
I don't want to switch to Google fi as well.
I attempted to use flash tool to get a customised firmware but was unable to get this working. Have any of you tried the method outlined by Brocnical?
Project Fi is a no go for me as I'm located in Australia.
Keen to get this figured out.
