Will Nexus 6p support VoLTE

(From Alexis)

The /e/OS ROM can normally support VoLTE and VoWIFI, but the actual VoLTE and VoWIFI operation will depend on a number of parameters:

  1. The phone must be compatible and must integrate the necessary software which is often proprietary.
  2. The OS must support the functionality.
  3. The carrier must support VoLTE and VoWIFI.
  4. The carrier must whitelist VoLTE/VoWIFI usage on the actual phone (this is done via the device IMEI).

On the Galaxy models, we are stuck at the software level. That is to say, we don’t have access to the proprietary software required to activate either.

We managed to activate both VoLTE and VoWifi on OnePlus models but our phones were not whitelisted on the networks we had available for testing.

But the Fairphone 3 for instance has VoLTE since there is a partnership between the e Foundation and Fairphone.
