@jlittle the top exampe shows the handset is staying connected to 4G and not passing down to the 3G network so your handset must support VoLTE just does not display it

Apsattv:

What does the icon beside the Alarm clock indicate?

@Apsattv Left is NFC & Right is Bluetooth

Just noticed the other phone "AGM A1Q" supports wifi calling, does that make any difference as to support modes?

@Apsattv Just cause a handset supports Wi-Fi calling does not mean the carrier will support the handset and let the handset use Wi-Fi calling

Look at the top bar and see if (Vol LTE) is shown:

On a call to 0800 000 000, on the mobile network I get

when connected to wifi

When I do this it shows 5G, not 4G and when I'm on wi-fi it doesn't show any network type. Am I OK?

@tstone main thing is the handset is not handing down to 3G to place the call and yes 5G will still show but the Voice call is not going over 5G

Anyone with Zenfone 9 Android 14 been able to get VoLTE? I tried the "*#*#3642623344#*#*" and turned on VoLTE in the internet settings but no go. I rang one and confirmed my sim has VoLTE turned on. I need a compact phone and am thinking of going pixel pro 9.

VoLTE Worked out of the box with my Spark SIM on my Zenfone 9, Shows up in the status bar with a little VoLTE icon on android 14.

I tried a 2degrees sim yesterday and VoLTE worked fine. Tried 2 Vodafone sims and no VoLTE.

Gonna switch providers and transfer my number.

I think mine will be okay, it gets a 5G signal where it can and also has the VoLTE1 indicator as well.

Is there a list of phone models being collated that have stopped working in Aus? I'd be especially interested in what models have the limitation of placing emergency calls over 3G only despite being able to place normal calls over VoLTE.

You're not on Atlantis anymore, Duncan Idaho.

Its the making the emergency call over a network that is not your network that is the big deal for them over there. Apparently you can also use phones with no sim cards to make emergency calls there too which is why so many people hung on to their dinosaur phones.

Linux: @jlittle when you place a voice call does the handset pass down to the 3G network or stay on 4G?

A word of warning - this isn't always a reliable test. Some phones support VoLTE (on 4G) but cannot handle VoLTE for emergency calling and require 3G for this. This isn't always immediately clear and I'm not going to advise you to dial 111 just to test it.

Also on android as I found out once if you do make an emergency call, it will disable DND on the phone for a long time afterwards which could be very very annoying for you if you do just test it.
