I'm using the Mate 10 C636 - ALP-L29 version with the very latest 8.0.0.131 firmware.
This was the firmware that allegedly added VoLTE and VoWiFi features.
I've never found these settings in the settings on the phone and my mobile provider, Plusnet (at MVNO), does not offer VoWifi.
So, I was particularly interested to see that MVNO "IDMobile", based on the 'Three' network was offering VoWifi and in particular, if you look at the devices they support:
https://www.idmobile.co.uk/help-and-advice/wifi-calling
Wi-Fi Calling currently works on iPhone 5s, iPhone SE, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8, iPhone X and Huawei mate 10.

How random. All the iPhones and the Mate 10. Not the Mate 10 Pro.
Which is odd, given that the Mate 10 has never been released here, but the Pro has.
I decided to speak to ID Mobile, to see if this really was the case, here's the transcript......
Info: We've received your chat request. An agent will be with you shortly.
Info: You're chatting with Trevlynn.
Trevlynn: Welcome to our live chat service ****. My name is Lynn and I'm here to help you.
Me: Hi there. I'm interested in joining IDMobile, because I note you do Wifi Calling - and I have a Huawei Mate 10.
Me: This seems to be one of your supported devices, other than iPhones
Me: Is it specifically the Huawei Mate 10 or is it the Mate 10 Pro?
Trevlynn: Thanks for being so patient. I'll be with you shortly.
Trevlynn: Thank you for your patience with me ****. I can confirm that the device which is compatible with WiFi calling is Huawei Mate 10.
Me: Ok, and does the Hauwei Mate 10 need to be running any particular firmware? The Huawei Mate 10 was released in Europe, Asia and China. - not specifically in the UK - will it support the European and Asian firmwares?
Trevlynn: Yes, that is correct ****.
Me: So, just to confirm.... all regions and all firmwares are supported by IDMobile for Wifi calling on the Huawei Mate 10? There don't appear to be any settings to enable Wifi calling on the phone - so it should just work?
Trevlynn: You just switch on Wi-Fi and make a call.
Me: And that works on all models of the Huawei Mate 10? Wow.
Trevlynn: Sorry for the delay. I'll be right with you.
Trevlynn: I'll be right with you.
Trevlynn: Thanks for waiting. I'll be with you in just a moment.
Trevlynn: Thanks for being so patient. I'll be with you shortly.
Trevlynn: Thank you for your patience with me ****, I apologise for the long wait. My system froze and would not allow me to respond to your chat. the only devices that allow Wi-Fi calling is listed on the link below:
https://www.idmobile.co.uk/help-and-advice/wifi-calling
Me: yes and it lists the Huawei Mate 10 - what I'm asking is - can you confirm that all versions and firmwares work?? Does it work with pay as you go? I don't want to move over to ID Mobile, only to find it doesn't work on my phone for some reason.
Trevlynn: You will only be able to make use of the feature if you have a monthly plan with us.
Me: So, just to confirm, ID Mobile are saying that Wifi Calling works with a Huawei Mate 10, any regional version. You just connect to Wifi and make a call?
Trevlynn: Thanks for waiting. I'll be with you in just a moment.
Trevlynn: Wi-Fi calling will work when you are unable to connect to either a 3G or 4G network and have a minimum of 2MB speed. This means that if you can use your internet in that area, you will be able to use Wi-Fi calling in that area.
Trevlynn: You will need to check your Wi-Fi call settings to activate and once it has been activated, you just need to switch on Wi-Fi and call.
Me: With a Huawei Mate 10, any regional version?
Trevlynn: With all the devices listed on the webpage, if you can use your internet in that area, you will be able to use Wi-Fi calling in that area.
Me: So any Huawei Mate 10?
Trevlynn: Yes, there is only one model.
Trevlynn: The Huawei Mate 10 Pro is a different model.
Me: Well yes, but there's also a European, Asian and Chinese version of the Mate 10. But I take it they all work from what you've said. I'll take out a one month contract with ID Mobile to make sure it works
Trevlynn: I'll be right with you.
Trevlynn: We will only be able to confirm the same for the model sold in the UK.
Me: It's not officially sold in the UK - but the Mate 10 Pro is. This is why it's confusing.
Me: I had to get mine from Hong Kong.
Trevlynn: I understand now, however the Pro is not listed on in the comparability range online.
Me: Ok - so I'll have to take a chance, if I take out a one month contract - it work on that contract yes? I'll do that now.
Trevlynn: You will have 30 day to test the services and return if it does not suit your needs.
Me: Okily dokily - Thanks muchly
Trevlynn: Is there anything else I can do for you ****?
Me: Nah, thanks Trevlynn.
Info: The chat transcript will be sent to: at the end of your chat.
Trevlynn: Please register and make use of your My Account to view bills, monitor allowances and purchase add ons.
Me: Er, OK
Trevlynn: Thanks for chatting. To help us improve our service, we'd really appreciate your feedback - so could you answer a few questions about the service you've received today?
Me: yea
Trevlynn: Thank you for you time.

As you can see, I don't think the person I was speaking to was aware of there being multiple versions and firmwares of the same device. They do a bit of a politician and side-step fully confirming. They do categorically state it's not the Mate 10 Pro. I would be very surprised if they are actually supporting the Mate 10. Given that the phone was only updated to VoWIFI recently, I find this a bit hard to believe.
So given that ID Mobile allow a one month contract, I'm going to try it out......
I've got the pro on .129, and WiFi calling along with volte works perfectly on iD as it does three. Worked straight out of the box, unlike Vodafone where I had to get it activated on my account.

See that makes sense. I think ID Mobile have gotten it wrong and they support the Mate 10 Pro. But we'll see.
Do you have settings to turn it off and on? I don't. But maybe that's a network thing.
They've definitely got it wrong as it's working on my Mate 10 Pro!
Yes I have a WiFi calling option in the 'mobile network' menu. Nothing for volte - there's no ability to switch that on or off, it just seems to work and if it does you can't opt out.
Good luck with the standard Mate on iD, hopefully it's got a similar WiFi calling configuration to the pro so could work.

If I don't chicken out before the day is over, I will be ordering mine to use on AT&T network.
Please post USA network experience, rom versions, hints and tips, OTA (or other) method used to get updates, where purchased, etc.
In about two weeks I'll probably be ordering one for use on AT&T, also. Love to hear some experiences.
A very small percentage of me wants the HTC U11+, but my Huawei Mate 9 has been really good to me.

I have an Essential phone that is going back. It isn't terrible, but does occasionally lag. Mostly I don't like the size. and the signal level inconsistency. Also a Pixel XL 2 that is going back. The pIxel is such a nice phone - except for the screen. And I have come to realize I DO NOT LIKE the new extended vertical size format and that I enjoyed my Nexus 6 better than any phone I have had. The Mate 10 seems like just what I want. Although software updates may be nonexistent.
Just got my mate 10 from seller in ebay from Houston. Was in Chinese language.
Now I have to look into the rebranding stuff.
Didn't realize that would be the case. Maybe it's on me for buying from eBay. Will see if I can get used to it.

Let us know how well it works with AT&T. Do you mind saying where you got it and which rom version?
Got my mocha brown L29 yesterday I'm using it on T-Mobile and have not had any issues so far. I'm coming from the Huawei mate 9 pro and the mate 9 before that. I would have stayed with the mate 9 pro for a bit longer but I found a US seller on ebay who was taking offers. I had a $40 off coupon from ebay from recently selling a phone so $535 later I had purchased the Mate 10.
My only complaint is that he did remove the screen protector but ordered a tempered glass as soon as I purchased the phone it just hasn't arrived yet. Everything else was untouched seller claimed he didn't like the phone after playing with it briefly in his bedroom.

Sorry for the double post. Maybe I posted in wrong section before but this is great news! Will it work on the ALP-L29 C636 version with Tmobile? What will I need to do to use it? Will I need root? Load with adb? More testers needed? Thanks!

If you want to test, please contact FunkyHuawei support. You'll need an unlocked bootloader.
Also, anyone with a Verizon sim and a Mate 10 or 10 pro with unlocked bootloader, please let me know. I don't think VoLTE will work, but I want to try it to prove a theory.
In the course of adding rebranding support to the Mate 10 Pro/Porsche US editions as part of FunkyHuawei (Please see this post for details: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75279649&postcount=711 ) I can confirm the following:
1. The Mate 10 Pro and Porsche for sale in the US are re-purposed AT&T BLA-A09 devices. Other countries have the BLA-L29 or BLA-L09 so this is a US-centric codename, but in fact the hardware is identical.
2. The US edition of the Mate 10 Pro is single-sim. The Mate 10 Pro Porsche for the US market is also single-sim (other markets had dual sim porsche design editions). This is because they originally intended to release the phone with AT&T, which obviously wouldn't want them to release a dual-sim phone. If you live in the US and want dual sim, you're better off buying an international model and rebranding it, so you can have the dual sim functionality.
3. The US edition of the Mate 10 Pro/Porsche (or devices rebranded to the US branding) will support VoLTE on T-Mobile, but not VoWifi. However it does support both VoLTE and VoWifi on AT&T. If you want to check what is supported for your own MCC/MNC please look at this list, it's pulled from the US firmware:
https://pastebin.com/BGtr3VhT
If anyone wants to know more, you can ask in this thread or in the FunkyHuawei thread. We'll probably have many users rebranding to it and using it in the US soon.

Generally the only differences are logos and branding and themes.
So does tmobile still have beef with huawei over stealing stuff? Feel like just about any recent unlocked flagship supports wifi calling on tmobile, most noticeably oneplus. I believe you could get axon7 working too.
What's the difference between VoLTE and a service like Google Voice that works with data? I mean if you have an LTE data connection and you're using a service like GV isn't that VoLTE by definition? Wouldn't the same apply for WhatsApp, Skype, Telegram etc if you were on an LTE connection? I don't really understand why VoLTE is hyped so much.

Volte would work for the native dialer. Using a secondary app is not something many folks in the US want to do (see imessage)
would there ever be a CDMA version at all ? I have a Verizon sim and tmobile I would love to use both sims or at least Verizon on the mate pro
Do you know if the current US branded firmwares are signed and will pass the safetynet test so I can use android pay? The earlier firmware version wasn’t so I rebranded back to the European version. Am in ATT and would love VoLTE and WiFi calling again but not if I can’t use android pay

You can use Google Voice on the primary dialler and as your primary number and also forward all calls from GV to your primary number.
just ordered a Huawei Mate 10 Pro International BLA-L29 for my wife and would like to rebrand to AT&T. i have a few questions regarding rebranding to ATT firmware:
is the FunkyHuawei ATT rebranded firmware the same that's [expected to be] installed on the US versions when they go on sale 18-Feb?
if i rebrand to ATT would i be able to root the device? if yes, will rooting disable some phone features?
on my Exynos Note 8, VoLTE and Wifi calling with ATT service will work if you (a) apply the ATT CSC (vendor config) to your rooted device using TWRP and (b) use the imei of an ATT device that supports those features. i'm hopeful that the same setup works for the Mate 10 Pro. thanks for taking time to respond to my questions.

It will not work on verizon for calls/texts.
isn't it all the same hardware?
Is the phone suppose to be on AT&T and Verizon before of political pressure and decided not to work with Huawei?
so the phone should works on both carriers, unless they plan to come out with 2 version??? hardware wise?
also, on the phone, it says 4G and a little + sign?
what does the + sign for?
I know in US is suppose to say 4G = 3.5 G and real 4G = LTE
but since this is a international version 4G should be LTE? but a + sign?
@duraaraa, i had heard that, in spite of being seen as expensive by most, people were nonetheless willing to pay up because your customer service was second to none!
However, unfortunately, i can't share their opinion; I've tried to reach you at least 3 times in the past, which, not having expected it to be warranted to have to "insist", i didn't document dates and times (for different reasons which, at the end, I've had to solve all without your expected assistance.)
Recently, i actually used the official means, per the "Contact" tab at FH Club. It's nearing the 3-digit hour mark, and i think it's time you at least tell me (or, maybe it's "US, the (no pun intended, U.S. customers) to take a hike and stop wasting my time and yours.
I'm approaching you in the most respectful manner, which I realize may be difficult to fully see when in writing. I am also fully aware of your Terms and Conditions which state that FH reserves the right to at any time and for any or no reason, stop providing support without having to issue so much as a cent paid for given service.
Lastly, it hasn't always been "Big, Bad Duraaraa; i acknowledge you have provided me input at other times in the past.
Thank you in advance for your time.

The thing with this phone is that nothing is clear on what is working or what should be working with T-Mobile network, in my area at least. I can tell you though that besides the bugs/issues on the links above, this also does not work with this phone in my area using T-Mobile:
-No VoLTE
-No Wifi Calling
-No 4g while on a call(could be related with no VoLTE due to the missing bands on the phone)
Also on the T-Mobile network, on my previous phone, HTC 10 unlocked global version, i had wifi calling and 4g when on a call working - and i find that ridiculous that on a 5+year old model phone these both things worked and on a "high spec" 2019 model phone like the Realme X2 Pro none of those things are working and yes i know the X2 pro is meant to be used in other parts of the world, like china and india but still, when you sell a "global" phone(not priced cheap @ $500 imho) it should have all those 'basic' functions, like wifi calling, at the minimum! i bought at my own risk i know, so im paying the price now:crying::crying:
if you are willing to switch providers like maybe Verizon or ATT maybe you can have better luck with this phone with all the "basic" functionalities.
i was about 75% sure of getting rid of this phone and now im like 99% sure of getting rid of it. You interested? lol

i bought X2 pro phone about 1 month ago and if i was going to do this all over again i would i would go for the Xiaomi: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Xiaomi-Mi-...hash=item341aea54d9:m:mH_wyne-_SXAdmrXP7eck1g
before i bought anything it was between the X2 Pro and the Xiaomi, same price, but i went for the X2 Pro because of the faster snapdragon 855+ processor and more ram. I dont really care for the crazy 108MP camera(s). But if you do your research for the Xiaomi, i believe VoLTE, wifi calling, and 4g while on call, all work with the Xiaomi on the T-Mobile network.
Good luck buddy!

If your not bothered about the camera which is the main selling point of the Xiaomi mi note 10 then the only decent point is the large battery... everything else is worse then the X2 Pro... Unfortunate that your having issues with networks as I have WiFi calling etc on my European version using ID sim which is a virtual network on three UK and working perfectly.
EDIT: Just read your rant and the other thread and can honestly say I have no issues with speaker being to loud during a call and zero issues with mic. I didn't have them on Color OS and I've been running the Realms UI c23 from the India site since 30th without the issues... installed c24 from UK site today and I've had nearly 3h calls today without any loud or mic issues.

EDIT: Just read your rant and the other thread and can honestly say I have no issues with speaker being to loud during a call and zero issues with mic. I didn't have them on Color OS and I've been running the Realms UI c23 from the India site since 30th without the issues... installed c24 from UK site today and I've had nearly 3h calls today without any loud or mic issues.

LIke i said on my other rant, maybe i got a bad one from a bad batch:crying: which sucks because 30day policy expired from the ebay seller and i dont think i can return(ill double check anyways). And yes, the Xiaomi has larger battery also and yes i would of have ignored the slower porcessor etc. if it meant "normal" functionality on the phone with VoLTE, wifi calling, etc. all functioning - i would prefer a working phone than dumb issues and missing basic functionalities etc. MY2C i guess.
But like i said before, when i got the phone new with Color OS 6 Android 9, the earpiece/handset during voice calls volume was working "ok" at a tolerable level and i could be fine with the mic issue, having to enable speaker mode and then disable during call, i wouldnt have mind that at all. That is the reason why i would like to go back to Android 9 but i have no idea how - or im too dumb to do it ....still doing research of how i can go back.
ok got phone Fleabay SWORE it was GSM Model only but on side of box says GSM:850/900/1800 WCDMA1/2/3/4/5/6//8/19 LTE TDD BANDS 34/38/39/30/41 LTE FDD 1/2/3/4/5/7/8/12/17/18/19/20/26/28 model number rbs9x225in..... so what region etc is that?
how do i get fastboot installed and configured? i havent had to use that in 500 years
fastboot flashing unlock in fastboot that does nothing? i checked my devices is there
i got fastboot working see,s my device but when i put the code he says fastboot flashing unlock when i did that it seems fastboot doesnt know the command or something?
I'm considering getting a ROG 2 and would appreciate any input as to the best variant to use here in the UK.
Advice from UK users that have the ROG 2 in particular.
I'm currently on Three network, using a Huawei P30 Pro. The lack of b/l unlock and rooting is quite frustrating so I'm looking at the ROG 2.
Cheers

Well if ur on 3 network, I'm pretty sure they use band 20 for lte. So don't go for a Tencent version, they don't have b20. You might have to bite the bullet and buy UK version. Tho, I'm still not sure if this has b20, you'll need to check

I have the 512gb global version bought from ASUS UK and can confirm that it has band 20 LTE. The only issue you will have is that to access the band 20 on 3 you have to have a voLTE enabled device which the ROG 2 isn't unfortunately

Ahh ok, thanks for the informative post. Have you tried the guide to enabling Volte?

No I haven't tried that as I believe it requires rooting the phone and I've never done that before. I would like to get voLTE working though so might give it a try soon.
Thanks to the posters above.
Tbh I thought there would have been more advice from UK users, this forum is much more active than the one for my Huawei P30 Pro.
Maybe there will be a little more input now I've bumped this thread.
Cheers
Colleague over from HK on business with a Mi 11 to give to me as a gift (he a business contact and very generous). Wondering if it will be compatible with Three UK WiFi Calling and VOLTE? If not will just give to my mother and stick with my Note 20 Ultra until the s21 or OP9 etc
You probably have your answer by now, but for other people coming here: works fine for me with EE - UK
Hi All,
I am wonder if someone have checked WiFi and VoLTE calling in Australia (Telstra, Optus)?
Regards
