Noticed that there is no wifi calling option in settings > network > call and sms (both options are greyed out) Im in the UK using Lebara (Vodafone)
Spoke with Lebara and they believe there's an ongoing issue with Google and wifi calling.
Can anyone in UK confirm its available for them please?
thanks

I'm in the US but noticed the same thing. I did a search in settings and found it. I enabled it and it works great.
where in settings please? searched for wifi calling and nothing specifically returned for it
Tap settings in the search filed type wifi calling. It worked for me. Mine is the Unlocked US version.
just in case others are curious. This is known issue in the UK between Lebara and Google. Currently wifi calling is not supported on the pixel 7 at all.. with Lebara (I'm not sure if this is just UK and/or Vodafone anywhere else)

Got the same response. Switched to VOXI (Vodafone) and I can finally use WiFi + 4G calling. Honestly stupid, they use the same infrastructure but intentionally block it on some devices.

Should be illegal.
They do it for $$$ reasons.
You pay for data, yet they block tethering...
Phone providers get away with too much. Why can I not root my phone, install custom rom/kernel but I can do anything I want on my home PC and still maintain warranty?

Can anyone help me out please
Problem: WiFi calling not working.
I'm currently overseas in the uae right now and will be year for a whole year. I've tried getting my WiFi calling to work on both LP and MM but no luck. I've tried fresh installs, airplane mode toggle, WiFi tether toggle, WiFi toggle and nothing seems to work.
After I finished setting this aosip 6.0 ROM today, I looked at my quick settings and it showed T-Mobile WiFi calling but immediately after that, I had to reboot the device for a layers theme install. After reboot the WiFi calling was gone. I've tried everything I know possible to get it back but no luck.
Anyone ever experience this or can anyone possibly help me out because T-Mobile has already started hitting me for roaming charges.
Please and thank you
My current ROM
wifi calling doesnt matter about your rom, its about your provider. if your provider does not provide wifi calling(like tmobiles wifi calling), then wifi calling will never work.
It's T-Mobile. And I've check with multiple reps who told me that it's active on my account

They told me it would. I've spoken to 6 different reps. They all confirmed that WiFi calling as long as it's calling back to the US is free and unlimited

cool, i had no idea.. now i know
try using google voice instead, I know its boot what you asked about but it's what I used and it has nothing to do with the Rom, it's standalone app
I use T-Mobile Wifi calling in Europe back to the US without issue, but I set it up while still in the US.
Since T-Mobile has a *very* nice international roaming data scheme, I suggest you use Google Voice/Hangouts to avoid incurring roaming charges until you get this fixed,

O2 is the only provider in the UK to offer WifiCalling. I'm on Vodafone and they are hardly cutting edge with their rollout of new technology. Searching on their forums there's no mention of it, so I don't think you'll be making the most of it any time soon.

Their support website https://support.vodafone.co.uk/Using-our-network/Wi-Fi-Calling/67269365/How-do-I-set-up-Wi-Fi-Calling-on-an-Android-phone.htm lists XZ1 Compact as compatible they support it, but as usual their "Live chat" "support" is useless. I've Texted CALLING to 97888, and got a confirmation text and an OTA provsioning text, rebooted the phone but still don't see it listed as a option in the Phone > Settings > Calls menu

Is it a vodafone firmware build on the phone?
Apparently there are some updated APN settings for getting the wificalling working

Thanks,
Interestingly, the process I followed did send an over the air provisioning update but not with those settings
I added a new set of APN settings matching those in that post, but I still don't see Wifi Calling in Phone > Settings > Calls.
I just see the attached:
Actually EE and three also offer WiFi calling. I have used both

Did your rom/phone settings show Wifi Calling as an option before receiving any update from the carrier? Did you have ROMs/ software from EE or 3?

The Vodafone forums mention missing WifiCalling button and the resolution is that it has to be pushed to your phone as an update by someone on the Vodafone tech support team.
More support calls to the worst support call provider.

Call your network provider and ask for the settings to be pushed to your phone.
They can't for some odd reason. maybe they're clueless
Hi, guys.
Just wondering if any of you have working VOLTE/WIFI calling on your Pixel 5.
I'm on Vodafone UK and none of these are working, I don't get the options for the two in Network settings.
Apparently, they are not provisioned ATM.
Have you had more luck with your operators?

Yeah, I had a feeling going with Vodafone is a mistake...
Working here with O2. They have a guide on the Vodafone website for the Pixel 4 so can't see why it doesn't work with the 5. https://deviceguides.vodafone.co.uk...ress the phone icon.&text=Press Wi-Fi calling.
Well, it's Vodafone. Apparently one of their geniuses has to add a line of code somewhere..
Anyway, the guide for P4 asks for activation from within the phone app's settings and the Wifi calling/Volte settings are missing from there on the Pixel 5.
On BT Mobile i have Wi-Fi calling after turning it on in the mobile network settings, the VoLTE option is also there, it is greyed out but set to the on position.

No VoLTE, tried it whilst out and about and the call quality was terrible after being used to it for so long.
I'm on iD mobile who use Three. I can see that volte and wifi calling have been provisioned and i have the option for turning wifi calling on but can't see an option for turning volte on.

Yup been through all the options and can't see it!
It seems it's different for every operator, I can only suggest to give ID a phone call..
I'm on 3, have no issues at all
Wifi Calling
works on my P5, also a 3 user
option is found under Settings, Network and Internet, Mobile Network, Advanced, Wi-Fi Calling
I'm on Vodafone and I don't have settings for WiFi calling either. Funnily enough when I got text message from Vodafone to download internet settings they didn't even have the pixel 4a/ 4a 5g or 5 on there.. so that's probably why people on Vodafone can't enable it because Vodafone themselves haven't added the phones on for WiFi calling
https://deviceguides.vodafone.co.uk/google/?type=all&topic=turn-wi-fi-calling-on-or-off
Check out this thread on Vodafone forum, will try it myself and see if it works

Okay so update for Vodafone users, I got it working.
Following the second link above, 1. Go into Vodafone app and turn off WiFi calling, restart phone. 2. Go back into Vodafone app and turn back on WiFi calling (wait for 3/5 minutes and then restart phone again (you should receive a text from Vodafone saying it's enabled on your account). 3. Go to call app > settings> calls>WiFi calling>enable.
It also shows on networking settings in advanced now too.
Now I'm connected to WiFi calling, hope this helps Vodafone users

It works for me now. Just try the following:
On MyVodafone app, disable wifi calling and immediately restart the phone. Then enable it again and immediately restart the phone. The Wifi calling settings should appear on Settings/Network and Internet/Mobile network (Vodafone)/Advanced.
At least they have in my case.

Well thank you in that case, resolved that issue easily
Happy to help, it's fkin frustrating to be in your house with only edge signal, hardly able to have a phone conversation, waiting for Vodafone to do its job.

What an arse i am, turns out the other caller was using their phone on speakerphone, made a few calls since and VoLTE is working just fine on BT Mobile.
Neither is working for me as well, but was working fine on my old phone.
What I noticed on my device is that it came from Google with the "KDDI only" build on it(see https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-5/help/kddi-variant-t4178033), which I suspect might be related to the issue.

I don't think so. The model of my phone is RD1A.200810.021.A1. Let me guess, is this the same as yours?
PS: what network are you on?
Hi,
I'm not a technical expert and have no idea how to solve my problem. I bought my LG 3 years ago in Europe, factory unlocked.
I am pretty sure I had a wifi calling option in my phone settings before, but after VODAFONE UK (I live in the UK) did something - they disabled wifi calling, I completely lost wifi calling option. I can't find it anymore, it doesn't exist in my settings at all.
I reset my phone yesterday, and nothing changed.
I would be grateful if anyone knew how to bring back wifi calling on my phone.
Thanks!

Have you asked vodafone uk? See, wifi calling is basically controlled by 2 parts; 1) the phone having the ability 2) your carrier provisioning the sim to allow it.
So, it's not as simple as 'turn it on'. If the carrier isn't allowing it, for some reason, all you can do is change carrier.
In my case, in the states, with mint mobile (t-mo reseller), I had to go to my account settings with mint, and turn it on for my account. There was no cost involved. But there's technically nothing you can do if the sim hasn't been provisioned. That's up to the carrier.
