Hello, I did not have the Wifi Call Option in the network setup. My provider supports Wifi calling. I have MIUI 10.2 but unlocked and rooted with Magisk. In Magisk I have installed VoEnabler v1.4. Now I have the option Wifi call and enabled it. However using the button below for configuring Wifi call precedence, I get a crash log. Provider settings are disabled and not possible to set. Using *#*#4636#*#* I see the VoLTE enabled, but no option about Wifi Call.

I bought a SM-N960U1 unbranded US unlocked model, and I immediately updated it to Android 9. THEN I inserted my T-Mobile sim, and I have wifi calling. I did all of this a few weeks ago, and I never really questioned it all until today.
I'm posting this now because I read that people cannot get wifi calling to work on their unbranded model unless they flash carrier firmware.
And this is what I've found. When I make a call while connected to wifi, I see the little wifi symbol on my phone symbol, as if the call is a wifi call. I have a toggle for wifi calling, which works! If I toggle wifi calling off and make the call again, no wifi symbol on the phone symbol. When I look in settings > connections, I do NOT have items to set wifi calling and VoLTE. However, I can search settings for wifi calling and I will find the Samsung 'Wi-Fi Calling' app (com.sec.unifiedwfc 6.0.33.47) RUNNING!
So, it seems I have wifi calling working on T-Mobile, with just the Samsung stock firmware and not the carrier firmware. Which is great! No carrier bloat.
I just tested my wifi calling by starting a wifi call and then walking out of wifi range, and it definitely works! At the edge of wifi range, the call broke up, handed over to the cell tower, and became noticeably less clear. I'm stoked to have wifi calling without carrier bloat.
I might investigate further if there are some settings I can toggle over adb (wifi preferred, etc)
It depends on the carrier. T-Mobile does support all of its services, including WiFi calling, on the N960U1. Some other carriers do not. Always check with your carrier before buying an unbranded phone.
I also just discovered that toggle button text is CLICKABLE, and I can access Wi-Fi Calling SETTINGS when I tap on the wifi calling toggle's text, which gives me the option to turn on/off wifi calling, wifi/cell preferred.
So I have Wi-Fi Callng, can change settings, all in the stock non-branded firmware of the SM-N960U1.
AWESOME!
I recently purchased the global version of the Mi 9T Pro and I am running stock MIUI Global 10.3.2 with US T-Mobile as my provider. OOTB the phone does not have a WiFi calling option. Since this is useful to me when traveling outside the US or in areas where I have WiFi but poor cell reception, I searched for a way to activate WiFi calling on this phone. I searched the XDA sub forum for the phone, but did not find any relevant threads (so apologies if this has been posted before). I did find a useful thread started by XDA member lightcao in the Xiaomi Mi 9 sub forum:
https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink/topic?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforum%2Exda-developers%2Ecom%2Fshowthread%2Ephp%3Ft%3D3917887&share_tid=3917887&share_fid=3793&share_type=t&link_source=app
Based on the suggestions in this thread and other information, I did the following:
1. Ensured that my T-Mobile account had an e911 address listed.
2. Enabled WiFi calling option using the dialer code provided in the thread and activated WiFi calling under the sim card settings (new option appeared).
3. Updated the T-Mobile APN with the APN types as suggested. At this point WiFi calling worked, but only in airplane mode with WiFi enabled. This was because after enabling WiFi calling, the Network Preferences defaulted to WiFi Only with no apparent option to change it (grayed out).
4. Installed QuickShortcutMaker (sika524) from the Play Store. With this app I could access the Network Preferences setting and change it to WiFi Preferred. Although the grayed out setting in the phone is still showing WiFi Only, phone is now working based on WiFi Preferred and I can see the WiFi calling icon in my notification bar whenever I have a WiFi connection.
Although this is specific to US T-Mobile, in the referenced thread people with other providers and in other countries suggest it is working for them as well, as long as the provider supports WiFi calling. Hope this helps others interested in WiFi calling on their Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro.
I used the same method a while ago in mi9t pro to enable wifi calling on O2 uk network but i didnt need to do all the other stuff i just entred the dialer codes and it started working. I think this is the case with most miui based roms because it was the same with my Mi6.
Hey Everyone,
Have any of you managed to get WiFi Calling working on this device without root?
I'm considering upgrading to this phone from my flawless Redmi Note 7.
However, the only feature I would need confirmation works is the WiFi calling.
Is this working on this device without root?
If yes, does anyone know if WiFi calling can work on TMobile?
I am using WiFi calling and VoLTE on T-Mobile in the US. I followed the directions on the thread below. When I ran the *#*#*****#*#* code, it gives a message about VoWifi/LTE carrier check enabled or disabled. After making sure the APN was correct (especially the APN Type), enter the code until it says that the VoWiFi/LTE check is DISABLED. Once it is disabled, you should see the option to enable WiFi calling and VoLTE in the SIM card settings. It will then show the status during calls whether it is a WiFi call or VoLTE call. It may require a reboot after the codes are entered.

Thanks Man!
I appreciate your prompt and thorough response.
I haven't been able to get WiFi calling working on my Redmi Note 7 and tried just about everything. (Outside of root)
Now that you've said that I have hope I'll get WiFi calling working on the Mi Lite 9 and think I may get one!
May I ask if you're rooted?
Also which firmware do you have?
Hello
I just got this phone and set it up. Its a Global version 13.0.4 SKDMIXM.
I am on TMoblie USA - the phone is working great on LTE and 5G .
I am not able to see the Network preference under wifi calling where is can select Prefered Wifi Calling.
It appears that its running on default Prefered Cellular - because I can only see the VoLTE symbol on top.
Can someone help me in fixing this configuration to select Prefered Wifi Calling ? TIA

Hello, I'm using a 11T Pro Dual SIM India model with India SIM in Slot 1 and TMO SIM in Slot 2.
I have not found the specific setting to make Wifi Calling "Preferred" but, my phone does indicate Vo WiFi even when I have Wifi connected and Mobile Data turned on too once Wifi Calling is enabled as below.
Apparently the Voice Over WiFi Settings (at least here on my phone) only show up for SIM 1, does not show for SIM 2.
Attached are sample screenshots where the Settings are under SIM 1.
Steps to get there-
Settings > SIM cards & mobile networks > Click on SIM 1
All the way down, last Setting is "Wi-Fi Calls" to enable "Make calls using Wi-Fi".
Hope this helps.

Operators can disable this menu if they want to lock you onto Wifi preferred or cellular preferred. Does this only happen with this phone or does it also happen with the SIM in another Android phone?

There's a possibility of TMO-US not supporting WiFi calling on the Xiaomi 11T (Global), perhaps.
Although, I have been using various Unlocked phones (Nokia & Samsung) on TMO-US for the past few years & have practically never had issues with WiFi calling on any. Shall have to test it once I'm back. Won't be for some time.
Is your phone on the latest firmware? Try updating it to check if there's a new update available
which hopefully can solve your issue.
Couple of options to test, in case you have not already tested them-
a) leave WiFi Calling Enabled then disable the VoLTE feature and check if WiFi calling works?
b) disable Mobile Data, WiFi Calling enabled with WiFi connected and check if WiFi Calling works.
c) some users have had to ensure their E911 address is correctly in place on the TMO account too.

I had a working One Plus 6 - so I know TMO has VoWifi - I use it a lot due to poor reception at home .
The current workaround to force VoWIFI is
Turn On Airplane MOde
Turn ON WiFi only
then it works in VOWIFI with out any issues
I know I am missing a menu Item that can toggle this setting . I would prefer having that setting but its not a breaker for now . The phone works with all the Network features of TMO , LTE , 4G , 5G etc . No visual voicemail thats all.
Thanks

Perhaps you might want to give this a try-
Phone Dialer- *#*#86943#*#* VoWiFi carrier check disable
From here- https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/wifi-calling-volte-on-mi-9.3917887/
(or here too https://www.hardreset.info/devices/xiaomi/xiaomi-mi-11/codes/)

Thanks - this code is what got me to where I am now . I think from other articles - the mbn config may require some tweaking - but it refuses to give me access to it when i use *#*#663368378#*#*
Same access issue here too.
Wish you luck.
Pinging to see if there is a soln. in future.
Is anyone having an issue where the data network drops from 5G to 3G upon receiving a phone call?
On S21 Ultra, Telstra network.
Have tried Network Settings Reset without assistance, and the telco claims everything is enabled on their end.
I'm also unable to find the VoLTE toggle under Network Connections and cannot enable call waiting - I wonder if this is related.
EDIT: Turns out it was indeed a carrier issue. Resolved with call to Telstra.
It is definitely related. If no VoLTE is set, network will always switch back fron 4G or 5G to 3G to support the incoming call.
Setting to use VoLTE (or 'call via 4G') should be under Mobile Network settings.
You may want to check with Telstra support, as VoLTE may not yet be activated for your device/subscription or apn settings are not correctly set.
@OnnoJ Thanks for the reply. The call via 4G toggle is missing from my "Mobile networks" setting page. I've seen others have a similar issue, but have not found a solution as yet.
Can't believe it - called Telstra again and they now found VoLTE was NOT provisioned! They fixed it on their end and all is working.
