Anyone else seeing VoLTE live in the last hour or so?
Both myself and a friend are now getting VoLTE active in different suburbs in North Shore (Birkdale & Birkenhead), nice crisp HD Voice calling!

Seems as if the Vodafone VoWIFI announcement might have taunted them into turning it on and be the first with both working nation wide...

I have a friend at 2d who has advised me that their VoLTE, already available in pockets of the NI, was turned on in parts of Auckland overnight. The rest of the country will be progressively enabled this month and in October. Further comment I received:

"Phone behaviour:

•Samsung and Oppo phones that are VoLTE capable will automatically start using VoLTE

•At this time, only iPhones from the XS/XR and later are able to use VoLTE but it is OFF by default so users will need to turn it on. To do this they need to go to: Settings>Mobile>Mobile Data Options>Voice & Data: VoLTE toggle switch to ON.

•In December we are planning to enable VoLTE on older iPhone models and to make it ON by default."

Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.
