I had a ATT Galaxy S7 and it had the feature to turn on WiFI calling. I used it a lot because I have very little signal at home.
After that phone broke I bought an unlocked GS7. It does not have the WiFI Calling feature anywhere in the settings. I've heard that I need to install the "stock" ATT firmware to get WiFi Calling. I'm a newbie at this so I don't know what firmware I should be looking for.
Phone specifics
Model SM-G930U
Android 8.0.0
Baseband Version G930UUES9CSC2
Build R16NW.G930UUES9CSC2
Can anyone help?

I own a att note 4 already unlocked but I am thinking of going with tmobile for the wifi calling feature. This is where my problem lies ...is there any way to install tmobiles wifi calling features over the stock rom? I've been out of the rom scene for a long time and would very much appreciate any help that could be offered I'm at my wits end on this one.
If I am thinking correctly, the Wi-Fi calling feature is part of the ROM. You may be able to install a t-mobile rom on the phone, if you have a NON AT&T phone, as I believe that the boot-loader on the AT&T phone is still locked and there is no workaround yet.
I am currently running a t-mobile note 3 on AT&T and the Wi-FI calling feature is not possible on AT&T service.

That's correct, eventually att will do wifi calling
Considering this device ....... Can anyone tell me if they have been successful at WiFi Calling on AT&T using the pixel XL?
No to WiFi calling on AT&T. No VoLTE either in case you are wondering.

Let me ask this .... Is the setting for WiFi calling there? If it is, will it just not activate?
And if that is the case, has anyone tried calling AT&T with an IMEI change to an att device (from a brother, or cousin or something) that had WiFi calling (like an AT&T S7 Edge or similar)? ..... Then checking to see if it will then activate
I am using an IMEI from an LG V20 from AT&T (had it after the Note 7). No toggle or anything.
Hello everyone,
Yes, I'm a noob here but online research, etc. tells me that XDA is the place for me. I am a IT tech, just not a programmer nor have I done a lot with flashing phones, etc.
based on some basic searching my issues seems to be common.
I am a T-Mobile user and I now have a new AT&T Branded Galaxy S9 SM-G960U. I paid a third party to provide me with a Samsung unlock code. I unlocked the phone last night, had T-Mobile update my account with my new Nano Sim, etc.
All is working except I can not enable WiFi Calling and of course there are some advanced text messaging features that I can not enable, i.e. sent receipts, etc. I tested the phone with a active AT&T sim and the features work fine.
Does anyone have a work around for getting WiFi calling and text features to work using the T-Mobile Sim?
Do I need to some how flash a T-Mobile ROM to the phone?
Any help and guidance would be greatly appreciated
it will never work because is att brand. you needed to get international model.
I'm not so sure.......... I have the SM-960u1 and have flashed various AT&T FW to it at least 50 times and cannot get any IMS features to work. I get get the ATT bloatware, software,splash screen. But no VoLTE, WiFi Calling etc. I am tired of flashing. Back to Stock U1 for me.
AT&T is the same. They keep promising wifi calling for unlocked phones but I can't get it and neither can 2 others I know with unlocked phones.
This sounds normal. I have an AT&T branded Galaxy S6, which has wifi calling, but I'm using a MintMobile (T-Mobile) SIM. Wifi Calling is grayed out. There's probably some sort of check in the software that only enables the wifi calling if you are using an AT&T sim.
Yes, you have to flash the T-Mobile firmware with the latest modded Odin, or the unlocked U1 variant firmware (for which TMO's RCS messaging and video calling won't work-with U1 firmware, I mean). If you flash the TMO firmware, it's for all intents and purposes turning the phone into aTMO phone, with bootscreen, bloat and all.

You will need to flash to the U1 Firmware then Flash the T-Mobile firmware. AT&T's Wifi Calling is proprietary and thus their phones software won't work with other Carrier's Wifi Calling.
Hi my daughter and wife both have this same phone, my daughter can enable Wifi calling from the wifi advanced preferences menu, the option is not available on my wifes phone. What am I missing?
The first question is which carrier are you trying to activate Wi-Fi calling on? It behaves differently on different carriers. Second question is what version of the phone do you have since there is a Verizon specific version an unlocked version. They both have different software and settings so they'll be behave differently. If you have Verizon then the Verizon version will let you have Wi-Fi calling but the unlock version won't. If you have T-Mobile the unlocked version will let you have Wi-Fi calling but the Verizon version won't. If you have a different carrier talk to them
I have a new Sprint unlocked Samsung S9 SM-G960U1 and am trying to get the wifi-calling to work with Cricket Wireless. Currently the wifi calling option doesn't even show up. I was wondering if flashing an after market ROM would enable me to access the wifi-calling feature. Cricket supports wifi-calling, but only on Android devices purchased from Cricket (a note I didn't see before I bought the phone). If there is please letr me know which ROM would help me achieve this.
Thanks

Wifi calling and volte do not work on byod there is no roms for this phone. You can root but I can assure you this isnt gonna work either. All you can do is buy a cricket wifi calling enabled device

incorrect. it merely needs to be provisioned by cricket on the back end by someone who isnt the typical moron with a headset. the reason byod devices have trouble is due to the IMEI not being listed in their system and it takes a ticket to be sent to the telephony dept and have it added. They dont like doing it, but they will when pushed. Unlocked A8 and A6 on cricket both had wifi calling and VoLTE after provisioning was complete.
you also have to have the right csc on the phone.

I have a method with imei from a good cricket wifi calling phone. And have it working. But I have to give them another imei once I have it provisioned. Once their system updates with my imei I lose my wifi calling. But after provisioning I give them my actual cricket devices imei and tell them the system is still showing my byod imei they need to change it back to the other device. It works. But imei in their system is wrong.
Not imei switching or anything like that. I physically own a stylo 5 from cricket I dont use. So they think I'm on that and not my g9650. So I know it's possible just a real pain
