The APN list will initially show blank. To add a new APN, go to the APN list, press the menu button, then New APN (some don't realize this!)

We don’t need a seperate profile anymore the ‘mms’ tag under the main APN’s “APN type” will force the mms app to use that.

If the phone doesn’t support APN type then the same settings can be used under whatever MMS profile the phone needs. Hope that makes sense...

Leaving this here for anyone that might hit this issue:

 

 

 

VOLTE was not active on my Samsung Galaxy Note 9 on Skinny. Even though everything was as suggested and the phone did get VOLTE on 2degrees, One NZ and Spark.   After going around in circles with customer support I got to the right people via a formal complaint. 

 

 

 

They instructed me as follows: 

 

 

 

I can see that you currently only have the settings for text and data to work. To ensure your VoLTE (voice services) will function after the 3G closure, please follow the steps below:

 

 

 

 

 

     

  1. Go to Settings > Connections > Mobile Network > Access Point Names.
  2. Click "Add".
  3. Enter the following details:

     

     

     

    • Name: ims
    • APN: ims
    • APN Type: ims
    • APN Protocol: IPv6
  4. Leave all other parameters unchanged except for the ones mentioned above.
  5. Once done, click on the three dots at the top right of your screen and select Save.

 

 

 

This should enable VoLTE on your phone.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This did work, Galaxy Note 9 now works fine ahead of the 3G shutdown. 

 

 

 

I don't know about updating the OP. In effect my phone now has two APN entries. One per the OP, and one per my post.

 

 

I'm assuming that my phone is a special case, and most Skinny users will not need or have this.

Generally the ims APN does not need to be created. Did you try a ‘reset APN settings’ ? Also standard NZ software build ?

Yep, I tried a lot of things, including those. The only thing that worked was the step they gave me. Everything standard. All a bit of a mystery to me, happy it is working now though, as I don't really want to change provider or phone at this time.

I looked at my Wife's (newer) phone, it does have the entry for IMS - also XCAP, again I don't know if that is standard for Skinny, probably because she is not a tinkerer. 

 

 

 

So the IMS entry should probably be promoted to the OP @freitasm

I’d be interested in what version SW you have on your Note9 as it should have worked with Skinny automatically.

 

(DM me your details if your ok with that) - I’ll check with our device team. 

 

manually configuring the IMS apn will not always work (as there are other APNs needed too - for all services - including emergency calls) — and these are hidden in some android devices - so probably a bit of fluke it worked for you.
