VoLTE on any Network? - Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers

Hello all,
I recently bought a couple of eBay Seller Refurbished Galaxy S20 FEs to use in my switch to Consumer Cellular (MVNO that runs on AT&T towers). I believe they are from T-Mobile originally. However, with the recent decommissioning of AT&T's 3G network I have begun to have trouble making calls. They just end immediately.
Consumer Cellular advises to enable VoLTE or else calls will stop working, but as far as I can see VoLTE is enabled by default with no settings to be set.
I guess I just want to know if this is something caused by my phones or if it's more likely to be something on their end.

For more information, this is my SIM Card status screen

Upgrade the SIM to a 4G SIM and try.

Weak or no signals on XZ3

Hi
I am using Sony XZ3 for around 15 months on O2 UK.
For last 4-5 months I am struggling to get good network reception. Changed sim card as well but no luck. I put my sim in my old HTC phone and not had any issues for 2 weeks. What is possibly wrong with the phone or network?
Screen shots attached via Net Monitor Lite app. Why it shows WCDMA connection on LTE or GSM sim?

Question Android 12 Network icon esim

}
When I activated an eSIM in addition to my primary active SIM, I got that icon until I disabled the primary SIM and rebooted. Then the esim came alive as the only service and provisioned the phone. Then I was able to reactivate my SIM and have both working. So try turning it off and on in sim card manager.

Question No 5G after network reset on phone

As the title states I have been with Cricket for around 3 months with great 5G service 4 and 5 bars. I was trying to get Wi-Fi calling working and I wasn't aware at the time that Wi-Fi calling isn't available on Cricket BYOD phones yet. I reset the network settings on the phone and now only receive 4G LTE. I've had excellent 5G signal up until the reset. Called Cricket customer service about it but I believe I'd learnt more talking to the wall, very useless support, told me after about an hour that it would pick up 5G again and thats been about a week ago. The settings I have circled in red doesnt allow me to turn on or off, is this normal?? also this is the APN settings im using, they are the only ones I can find on the net so I'm assuming they are correct. Any ideas??? Thanks in advance for any help.

Can the S205GFE SM-G781V from Verizon bootloader be unlocked?

Hi, I have a Galaxy S20 5G FE from Verizon (SM-G781V) that I purchased while with Verizon a year or so ago. The phone is bought and paid for, and carrier unlocked. I've since switched carriers multiple times, so there's no question whether the phone is carrier unlocked. My question is can I unlock the bootloader to change the firmware on it? I really wish to get rid of the laggy Verizon startup animations, and remove all of the preloaded apps from the phone, and finally I wish to not have this notification each time I restart my phone that "The SIM is not from Verizon" (I'm well aware its not from Verizon I don't know why it always has to tell me). Thank you for looking.
This is the software info for the device.

I would also like to know. I fear it may not be possible yet, but I remain hopeful.
