Yes. U.S. T-Mobile even has WiFi calling on US998 and it's not their branded phone.
For AT&T WiFi calling however you need AT&T branded H931 phone and be AT&T customer.

You only asked if V30 supports Wi-Fi calling. There's about two dozen variants for different carriers and regions.

You will probably need a local version ROM to make Wifi calling work. For example, in the US people on Verizon (or a Verizon MVNO like myself) need to run VS996 in order to have Wifi calling work... so you may need a carrier-specific ROM as well.. Even after that, you may need to perform a few additional steps (I did) to get it working...

I have an AT&T branded V30 that has been unlocked. I put my T-Mobile SIM in and am able to get LTE and make calls, but WiFi calling does not turn on.
I have an AT&T branded Samsung S7 that is also unlocked and it doesn't work either.
My wife has a T-Mobile branded Samsung S8+ that she's using on AT&T and I'm able to turn on WiFi calling for her number. Why does T-Mobile not allow this?

I spoke with their support and they said because it's not a T-Mobile phone, it will not work. When I first switched to T-Mobile, I used a Nexus 6P and was able to get WiFi calling to work. I bought the Nexus 6P directly from Google and not through T-Mobile.
From what I understand, wifi calling has carrier-specific "hooks" to Android system to allow wifi calling, so AT&T phone wifi calling only works for AT&T and T-Mobile phone wifi calling only works for T-Mobile. Nexus is carrier-free phone, so Google probably has set up wifi calling for all carriers in the US. It is the reason the custom ROM does not support wifi calling.
i have US998 Unlocked (Oreo) from BH. Use it on ATT prepaid, but I don't see the wifi calling. Do I need to call ATT to put IMEI in their system for wifi calling?

T-Mobile allows Wi-Fi calling on US998, and that's not a T-Mobile phone.

I also have AT&T Prepaid on B&H Photo US998. I think AT&T either doesn't allow that feature on AT&T Prepaid or doesn't allow it on non-AT&T phones. Either way I also do not have it for my AT&T number.
I do have it when I use my Google Voice number, of course.
Hi ChazzMatt,
Can I flash ATT firmware into US998 for wifi calling? If yes, can I return back to US998 firmware if i want?

Yes. You can flash the H931 TWRP-flashable zip to US998. (You need bootloader unlock and root.) With an AT&T account you may get Wi-Fi calling.
IF it doesn't work, very easy to return to US998 firmware.
I'm a little confused as to why I am currently having this issue.
I'm on 20H US998 firmware currently in India and have unlocked band 40 using the T-Mobile hidden menu so theoretically I should be able to get full LTE coverage around India on this device but I am not able too.
My theory is that the US version of the V30 doesnt actually have the required firmware to operate on Jio with LTE at all.
I've verified this by flashing Lineage OS and getting the same issue.
SIM detected, jumps on network, no LTE = no VoLTE
Before you tell me I have the APN settings skewed im 99% sure I am right on that, however if anyone has any settings they would like me to try I would be happy too as currently I'm using my iPhone SE and I miss my 1440p OLED when I'm out and about

Jio VoLTE only works on two firmware -- ESA (India) H930DS and recent EU H930. I've only heard it working on H930DS phone, while using one of those two firmwares.
Just because you "unlocked" a band in hidden menu doesn't mean it's actually working. Same with unlocking the T-Mobile LTE band 71 on rooted US998.

Jio uses LTE bands 3, 5, 40. You're not going to get LTE band 40 on the US998, but you can get LTE bands 3 and 5. If you are in area where Jio has LTE bands 3 and 5, you should get a regular data connection. Do you live in an area where Jio uses only LTE band 40?

I don't think you understand. I'm able to get service where other devices I own are connecting to 3, and 5. However, the LTE icon never shows, preventing me from getting LTE connectivity altogether. I'm observing the same behaviour with my US SIM card which shows bars, but once more no LTE.

That sounds like an authorization issue, with Jio. Where you can see bars but not actually connect it's because the carrier is not letting you connect.

Maybe it’s my Sprint IMEI number??? Idk. I just tried to flash the H930 EU TWRP zip and restored my US998 modem, but SIM wasn’t detected. Maybe I need LGUP.

I was double check the APN, and contact Jio technical support. Maybe they need to do something on their end for your US998 to connect.

Hope you get data working on LTE bands 3 and 5.
I have an unlocked H932 that I have been using in Mexico without any problem but after upgrading to Pie i can't find the option to enable VoLTE (my carrier supports the function VoLTE).
With Oreo there was no problem and VoLTE worked perfectly but now when making a call it changes from 4G to 3G, is it a known issue or is it just my phone?

I just asked my wife who recently updated her H932 to Pie, running it on Red Pocket GSMA (AT&T). She's not seeing the VoLTE option either.
My guess is T-Mobile took it out and only shows it when connected to the TMO network. Or they just enable VoLTE automatically on their network without displaying the option. Like most companies, carriers will do whatever it takes to avoid having to compete on price, so they're looking for any little at advantage they can come up with to differentiate and keep customers on their network.
FWIW, VoLTE never worked on Oreo either with my H932 on Red Pocket GSMA because AT&T reserves VoLTE for post paid customers. I can enable it on the phone, but it doesn't do anything. I am told it DOES work on Red Pocket GSMT (T-Mobile) which is a pretty good deal for such a low-priced service.
nevermind....

Hi g8x have a wifi calling?
Yes, my US version does.
Just recently got the unlocked version with the dual screen bundle (LM-G850QM). I'm using it on Verizon and the Wi-Fi calling is working! Just FYI as Wi-Fi calling never works on Verizon with unlocked phone that didn't come from Verizon. I did already have a Verizon SIM.....
No such option on the Canadian model.
Not even VoLTE.
I'm on the Rogers network, btw.

Wi-Fi Calling (and other features such as VoLTE) are supported by the LG G8X so long as your carrier has enabled them.

I find it odd that you don't have the option fir VoLTE Or VoWi-Fi... Rogers (at least last time I checked) supported all the IMS features, being VoLTE, ViLTE, VoWi-Fi, and ViWi-Fi. Is your phone purchased from Rogers?

Mine has it on Bell.
True, Rogers support all the services, but they seem to operate on a white-listing model. If the device is not in their allow list, those features will not work.
Another example is the OnePlus phones, same thing.
But usually I see the option but it just wouldn't work. On my phone, it doesn't show at all. Unless LG software hides it automatically, I'd say its not there in the firmware.
This is an unlocked carrier-free Canadian model, not a Rogers phone. Rogers don't actually offer it at all.

Aaahhh.... That makes sense. I tried porting a HTC 10 from Bell to Rogers and had the same issue. They told me it was because the phone wasn't on their whitelist of allowed devices, even though I had the service working under Bell. I'd be willing to bet that the IMS Config file indicates that its to hide VoLTE and VoWi-Fi unless the network supports it. You can try using *#546368#*850# and see if it gives you options for VoLTE in the hidden menus. Likely under IMS Settings.
I can vouch for the G8X on Telus. It does support VoLTE and VoWi-Fi.
When the LG G8X was released Rogers did not carry it, I don't think the carry G8 either, that's how much the LG brand fell, it's only fanboys or people like who gave LG another chance to do better but as you can see they are not doing better, just going on the expectation if they build it suckers will buy it.
I tried the unlocked Sprint one and no VoLTE and no VoWifi. Does anyone have the unlocked ATT version LM-G850U on TMobile and if so, do VoLTE and VoWifi work?
Got one today.
No go. No VoLTE, no VoWifi.
I have a sprint version .someone find tricks to unlock

Those switches are greyed out on mine, which is (unintentionally) the Canadian version. But I have been told it is greyed out because VoLTE/Wifi Calling aren't enabled on the carrier side. In my case Ting says that my phone has LTE Band 12 and therefore VoLTE, but that will only work on ATT. A bit confusing because (like I said) the particular rom on my phone is Canadian (LMG850UM20e), so why ATT? The explanation for that, it seems is that ATT, (Sprint), and the unlocked Canadian version have the same sub-model (of the G8X - LMG850): LMG850UM. The USA unlocked version a different sub-model (LMG850QM), the rest of the world has yet another sub-model (LMQ850EMW). See this reddit post on the different models: https://www.reddit.com/r/LGG8X/comments/hvqdy4/hey_g8x_owner_what_is_the_submodel_number_and/
As far as I know all models (LMG850......) have the same hardware, the only difference are the roms, which artificially disable certain capabilities of the phone. I am pretty sure my phone would do VoLTE just fine on Ting (or most other carriers). The thing wrong here, I think, is that the IMEI and other specific identifiers of the phone artificially show that the phone does not have the functionality.
With all that said, I am still trying to find my around this problem. I'm considering flashing a different rom, tho not sure if that'll change what the IMEI and the other specific identifiers tell the cell carrier about compatibility. There is one report of T-Mobile supposedly fixing the same problem for a customer, see u/Veshtarii's comments on this reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/LGG8X/comments/irm2as/lg_g8x_unlocked_models_having_issues_with_us/
I also plan to keep updating this XDA forum post https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g8X/help/unable-to-enable-volte-wifi-calling-t4185809 with what I find out about this problem, potential solutions, and hopefully what solves it. Hopefully my post will be useful to those with the same problem.
I have concluded it's not possible on any TMO towers. See my forum post for more details: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g8X/help/unable-to-enable-volte-wifi-calling-t4185809
Odd since t-mobile now owns Sprint. You would think t-mobile would allow or update the sprint version to use wifi/volte etc..
Perhaps future t-mobile firmware/security updates will patch the sprint to use these services.. Certainly NOT customer friendly for those who migrated from sprint to t-mobile.
I can understand the att version not working w t-mobile but not the sprint version

Maybe, I'm not sure still, even after all the research I've done. But I don't know everything of course. Also, after looking on ebay, the LMG850QM is like 450$ at the cheapest, compared to the 250$ of the LMG850UM ATT or Sprint versions, (the Canadian unlocked version is like 200$).

I have a Sprint unlocked version, runs on T-Mobile. No wifi-calling menu.
BUT I downloaded and installed an app from Play Store called Wifi Calling written by Widget7 (get the right one), This simple app appeared to turn on the wifi-calling feature in the hidden menu. Long story short, I got wifi- calling on T-Mobile.

The WiFi Calling app only reveals the hidden menu, nothing more.
T-Mobile have VoLTE on by default. You can disable it by selecting different types of mobile networks such as Automatic 3G/2G, LTE/3G, or 2G only. I have no experience on this.
I have confirmed this by dialing *#*#4636#*#* Both data and voice are over LTE. And the VoLTE on/off button is grayed out (based on the type of mobile network selected).
