I have been using it for months. Not aware of how to use wifi calling, so can't answer that question. Recently having issues with device lag quite a bit, not sure why. But not aware of any issues directly related to T-Mobile. Not sure if this helps or not.
Not recommended. WiFi calling does not work, but the bigger issue is that Band 12 is disabled with this handset on T-Mobile, so you don't get access to most of the new towers that T-Mobile has put up over the last few years. Huawei has released updates in other regions to add VoLTE functionality in, which would enable Band 12 in the US, but the update has yet to reach the L24 model that's sold here. Maybe spring for a OnePlus 3 or see what else is new out there.

WiFi calling is carrier specific. We advise that you contact your carrier to see what's offered in your plan. (ED)

It's also phone specific why not just tell him it's not supported on the 5x ?
If your here representing Honor and you don't even know the limitations of the device why post at all ?
so, My understanding is The HONOR 5X does not support wifi calling.... I have TMobile, and moved and we have no service coverage, so I have to use the wifi to call. Back to my IPHONE.... I guess

Wondering if this will work on Verizon given it had the correct lte bands. Anyone tried yet?

No?
Verizon is CDMA and this phone only supports GSM. Am I missing something? I feel like you probably know that, bill?

Yeah but will just lte work? Bands 2,4, and 13 are there.

On Verizon?
Just because the LTE bands are enabled on the phone doesn't mean you'll get the functionality.
Data over LTE might work, but VoLTE on Verizon generally requires LTE binaries signed with a certificate that is acceptable to Verizon, which are highly unlikely to exist on the XZ1.

I just wondered. Normally Sony doesn't even include band 13. Been wanting to run a top Sony device for a long time now with no help from Sony to do it. I may just order one and see for the hell of it.
If one of you good folks has a friend with Verizon swap his sim in and factory reset and see if lte and volte works. May have to cycle volte on and off in phone settings *#*#4636#*#*, and then do the same in cellular settings.
I guess I don't know about band functions and LTE on a CDMA network. Maybe it would work? I'd be inclined to think not though just because Verizon has historically been one of the more strict white/blacklisting of phones on their towers, right? I think I'd be with Pbarrette in support/functionality unlikely to be there for a Sony phone. But I really don't have first hand personal experience with that so I guess I don't know.

Well cdma only comes into play outside of lte areas with volte working. Even if a device isn't white listed it will still work like the Axon 7. It's just a matter of whether volte would work really otherwise I'd have data but couldn't talk. Hopefully someone will try it before I order one.

The XZ1 isn't certified for VoLTE in the US on any carrier AFAIK, doubtful that it'll work on Verizon if it doesn't on AT&T and TMO which are GSM carriers.

I got my XZ1c last night and ported my number to T-Mobile today.
In the intervening time, I put my working Verizon SIM into the phone and got no connection to VZW towers at all.
In fact, the modem just kept cycling.
So given that the XZ1 and ZX1c have the same radios, I suspect that the XZ1 (full-size) will also not work (at all) on Verizon.

I literally did a full, clean flash of US firmware (partition, boot, ta files and all) and powered on with the VZW sim.
I did a lot of flashing to try narrowing down what needed to get flashed to enable T-Mo VoLTE + fingerprint without the launcher crashing.

Although I already have a LTE tablet (Asus Memopad) and barely use it I'd like to purchase the best version of Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 with this feature. Unfortunately this one is still unavailable in China (where I live) and the MiStore staff doesn't know a clue about when it comes to the store.
Is here anyone who can shed some light on this topic?
I also want the LTE version.. Why? Because the price difference isnt that big and when you need it, it would have it..
Also I would use it in the company to test our android app.
And on many sites you can pre-order the WIFI version but never the LTE.. So my guess would be, that it will need some time :/

Yes, and Secure Wi-Fi has now been added. I think it previously existed only on the European firmwares. Now we get it, too.
Any way to see if AT&T Wifi Calling will work as I do not see the option in Settings? I have US Unlocked GS9 on AT&T
If I flash this U1 for my ATT phone (running full Tmobile firmware now),
will I have Wifi calling with Tmobile? Or Wifi calling only works with Verizon with U1

Despite what the websites like to post, there really isn't a VZW U1 and an ATT U1. There's just XAA U1. You'll get Wi-Fi Calling on every carrier with it now, except for ATT.

Reading up on it (short summary) this is because AT&T uses a database of IMEI numbers to provision WiFi calling and VoLTE. Since our IMEI numbers from our phones are not in that database we won't be able to use WiFi calling or VoLTE.
Makes sense but is ridiculous for AT&T to restrict it. Has anyone ever called to ask to have thier Unlocked IMEI added to this "list" so that these features will work? Seems like it is a disadvantage for AT&T if it works for TMo and now Verizon but not AT&T...?
Just curious...

It's odd for sure. Verizon has always had VoLTE on unlocked too. At least since the S7. Probably before that. ATT has never felt the need to change the policy.

Who can say if it's disadvantageous or not, for all we know it might be the technology differences between the networks. Also it does make sense... having specific IMEI numbers known to connect to carrier specific services like wifi calling and VoLTE ensures that everything works. It doesn't make it convenient for us and I will admit it would be nice to have the features.. but for calling via wifi there are options.
Personally I use pbx in a flash and bria softphone. With the right VoIP provider it's a good setup and doesn't break the bank at all. I haven't even spent more then 5 bucks maybe in a month. For me this is better then wifi calling and I don't have any problems.
As for adding our IMEI to that database I tried inquiring about it, but I do recall reading where some people may have had luck in doing this. I suspect it may require a bit of luck and/or perserveriance after my last discussion with AT&T customer service.
I explained the situation and what needed to be done while being placed on hold a few times. As the call continued I tried to be patient with the person I spoke too, but I admit it is not easy when he is saying that just because I see H data speed that it's actually VoLTE. When I mentioned the speed test and how it was H data speed (and that H data speeds are not VoLTE) he was saying that H data speeds were like blazing fast compared to LTE..
I had to politely finish the call before I either started to laugh or feel sorry for that rep.

The only thing I've seen some people do successfully to get VoLTE working on an unbranded unlocked device is to have AT&T provision a SIM card to an IMEI of a phone that is AT&T branded and capable of VoLTE. Then use that SIM card on the unbranded unlocked device.

The other response is incorrect. Huawei has a whitelist of carrier MCC/MNC for VoLTE support. US carriers are not on it for LYA-L29.
VoLTE working fine in the middle east for the LYA-L29 for those who are wondering.

Volte works fine on the P20 Pro. Since that phone was never sold or supported in the USA there is no reason US carriers would be on a whitelist.
Volte also works fine on the Xiaomi MI Mix 2 & 2S which aren't sold or supported here.
Same problem in Canada too...the carrier has to work with Huawei to turn the feature on. I upgraded from an S7Edge which WAS VoLTE enabled by the carrier, so the account has the feature, but it did not automatically carry over.
Looks like there will be a few months before we get this, seeing how long it took for P20 Pro.

Hola
Can you please elaborate. For some of our carriers in Canada VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling are only enabled with carrier branded phones. This is particularly true for Rogers and Fido. If you are dealing with Shaw, Telus and Bell I have seen different scenarios that certain non branded phones working ok for VoLTE and other phones not working at all.
I am with Fido and I bought the Mate 20 Pro from them and VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling work.

I'm with Videotron...hence the difference. They have been notoriously slow to enable the feature on new phones.
On the flip side, I was getting VoLTE on my old phone which was NOT bought from them (it was first registered on Koodo).
Rogers does not allow that -as you mentioned.

A follow-up on my own post:
- we all knew the Canadian version L0C is NOT dual-SIM - I finally got a chance to test this. Bummer.
- I put in my phone a Rogers SIM and VoLTE and VoWiFi WERE INSTANTLY ENABLED. So the software supports it, has to be enabled by the provider via the SIM cfg. Somewhat positive news - as we all thought, Rogers would only allow VoLTE on the phones they sell, the test proved this is not the case.

I can definitely tell that the call quality is a LOT better in my case with VoLTE on, as it uses HD codecs (G.722).
You can try for yourself by turning VoLTE ON and then play with WCDMA vs LTE settings...one will disable it right away. In my case even the call button in the dialer shows HD.
And yes, the damn icon is hideous and won't go away even with System Tuner.

MintMobile does provide Volte but they have no idea which phone models it works on so they don't advertise Volte. I had Volte functionality on MintMobile with One Plus 5, Essential PH-1, Xiaomi Mix 2 & Mix 2S, and Huawei P20 Pro.
But it does not work with this phone.
On Telus, the first time I set the phone up it made me jump through a hoop where I went to a Telus site and enabled the VOxxx stuff. Strangely, it seemed to be kinda random whether it was 'on' or not, and before the last 2 updates I don't think you could even trust the icon to be telling you the truth. I'm not sure why this feature is a big deal, codecs or not the voice quality seems fine on this phone regardless. Some people claim that enabling any of the VO stuff gobbles battery, I haven't really noticed.
Much like the AOD, it is sad that we have almost no control over the icons at the top - especially when space is at such a premium there.
