So now that it seems like Google have unlocked VoLTE on the Pixel 6 and 6 pro with the latest Android 13 Beta's (in unsupported countries), is our problem now that our Carriers here have not certified our phones? Or is it still a case of Google having not really changed anything? Just curious as it seems someone does actually have it working with their Pixel 6 on Spark. 2degrees have fed me the usual reply of me needing to activate it on my phone and it's not something they can do....blah blah blah.

Have installed the Beta on Pixel 6 with Spark eSim. (5G and VoLTE used to work on my Poco F3 flawlessly so it should already be activated in my account).

Can report that 4G Calling/VoLTE is working but no signs of 5G

Having the same result with an old unprovisioned Spark sim, (P6 and latest Beta) shows VoLTE available and interesting that there is an operator settings version with Spark in the name, is this new? Unfortunately on Vodafone still shows no VoLTE and what appears to be a generic operator settings version.

I've been in touch with 2degrees and finally managed to get them to lodge a ticket to provision VoLTE on my sim. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this will make any difference with my Pixel 6 Pro actually being able to use VoLTE. Long story short, I took my sim out of my Pixel and tried it in my wife's Samsung and it showed up immediately with VoLTE and wifi calling.
Quick question to you guys on Spark. How have you managed to get Spark branded carrier settings? That seems to be the differentiating thing between the Spark, 2degrees and Vodafone Pixels.

Is there any chance a 2degrees eSIM might enable VoLTE on our Pixel devices?

Android 13 arrived last night for my USA 5A 5G.

 

I noticed my IMS Registration was saying 'Not registered' so contacted Spark via Whatsapp this morning (not a great method BTW) requesting VoLTE provisioning. Rep wanted to know my device, and when I said I had a Google Pixel 5A 5G they pointed me to their page of supported devices and told me my device was not listed so not compatible. I said I was happy for it to be provisioned anyway as I am aware it does support VoLTE. After a short pause they responded with 'I have provisioned VolTE , your device will automatically register for VoLTE within four hours of provisioning.'.

 

It's been five hours and I still see IMS Registration: Not registered, which makes me believe the provisioning hasn't occured, or maybe hasn't stuck.

 

Are there any other 5A 5G customers on Spark that have got any further then where I am stuck at?

Try toggling aeroplane mode on then off on your phone, see if that works.

if im not mistaken, they have only enabled the spark settings on Pixel 6/Pro devices only, the people that have managed to get it going were using a pixel 6

I do not think you are mistaken - Spark have confirmed it has been provisioned, its now just my phone that is not playing ball with the 'not registered' status.

My Pixel 4a is on A13 now, and no VoLTE. I tried rooting it and forcing volte however it isn't working like it was, ended up reflashing and reverting to a stock state.

 

So only Pixel 6 devices have spark/skinny volte - can anyone confirm?

Likewise on my 4a with 2degrees. Still waiting for 13 on my Pixel 6 with Vodafone.
