Unlocked phones and VoLTE , Wi-Fi calling...?

I encourage others with different phones bought this year in Canada but not from Rogers/Fido to experiment and report back with your experiences, even if you just try with a friends Rogers Sim card or non-Rogers phone.

I don't have a 2019 phone to test.
I tried a Bell LG G7 ThinQ with my Rogers SIM card. Tried provisioning for WiFi calling but it did not work - goes through the process but never completes.
Then moved that same sim card to a Rogers LG G6 and went through same setup process - WiFi provisioning was a success and was able to place/receive calls

One of the reasons why I left Rogers.

Now the phone thinks it's a Telus branded phone and has the Telus apps by default. This wasn't needed to get services working but I wanted it simply for software updates to be from Telus.

How?

I have a dual SIM Samsung Galaxy S9 that did not come from a carrier. It can do VoLTE and WiFi calling with most carriers that I've used the phone on, including Rogers/Fido, T-Mobile (US) and a few overseas carriers.

I have an international dual sim Huawei p30 pro and wifi calling will work only for about half hour after activating it on my LG v30, and then stops and can't activate it.

Don’t know if this helps but I have an iPhone 8 from Rogers that I’m currently using on Freedom with VoLTE and wifi calling enabled - just popped the sim in and it was good to go.

As other people have said Apple makes it easy to do this, so not sure about Android brands but Freedom also seems to be more lax on what they allow, as long as it’s a supported phone. I’d be willing to bet you could use another phone like a Pixel that wasn’t bought from them, but enable wifi calling/VoLTE without hassles but I haven’t done it myself yet.

I've had no problems with an AT&T Galaxy S10 and Rogers S10+ running on Fido for Wifi calling option turned on. Odd to hear that.

I have an international p30 pro (dual sim) phone works with rogers sim, just not wifi calling. Called them and they said that unless I bought the phone from them, it won't work. So I will be switching to Telus since they have no restrictions. Just waiting for my sim cards to show up.
