It's both a software AND carrier feature, but I think that's what you meant, ultimately.

For example, AT&T only supports it on their branded-model 950 (and 640 series), NOT on the same non-branded 950 or 950XL.
Pretty much all US carriers are the same, for Windows phones, they only allow it on the branded models, claiming "certification" as the reason.

On the Android side though, VoLTE is allowed on most US carriers, branded or un-branded, except for AT&T, they're sticking to the "branded only" rule, iOS being the exception. I've posted about the iOS issue in many carrier discussion (carrier forum), and that's when all the AT&T employees go "silent", hmm... ;-]

[gourav mopidevi]

i dont have jio sim cant check if this work...there is a thread how to enable band 41..i dont know if enabling band 41 volte will work or not...

Download the old MS app folder app from the 8.1 days.

Open it, create a folder and then you should be able to scroll through your app list to add apps to the folder. If you go down to the F listings, you should see FieldMedic. upon opening it we find all bands

 

[sandeep rawat3]

Just tried this above method with Jio sim. Enabled band 41 using Field Test. Still Volte is not working.

 

[sandeep rawat3]

The Field test shows Voice over LTE is supported on Jio Sim.

 

[slyronit]

Enabling band 41 has nothing to do with VoLTE, since LTE is already working on your phone.

 

[madhi]

Microsoft india tweeted today that they have escalated this problem. Hope they will fix this problem soon

 

[slyronit]

For them, technically this is not a "problem", because VoLTE is not advertised on their website or anywhere in the phone specs. They didn't tell us the phone can do VoLTE and now the phone doesn't.

For us, it is a problem, because this expensive phone which is capable of doing VoLTE cannot do VoLTE, just because it is disabled by MS.

MS should do the right thing and enable VoLTE, but seeing that no unlocked 950/950XL anywhere in the world can do VoLTE, even in countries that have had VoLTE for years, I don't have much hope this would be fixed.

does they mentioned in the manual ??

 

[slyronit]

No. Not for any unbranded variant of the 950/950XL, not the specifications page of the website.

so it doesnt say in manual that it support 4G/LTE...i'm not asking about website physical document which comes with mobile....if they mention 4g/lte then we can say they are advertising support of volte

 

[sandeep rawat3]

Anyways Market share for Microsoft in India is very less, and after Jio launch, Volte will become a necessity for all phone makers to survive in India.
So hoping for the best

 

[slyronit]

They advertise 4G/LTE, but not VoLTE. They are separate things.

Except MS doesn't plan to launch any new models in India going forward. Lumia 650 was the last Lumia, the next high end business oriented model (rumored Surface Phone) will only launch in selected markets, India not among them.

i think if we have 4g/lte then it obvsly support voice on lte they might not say they support volte but they would have said voice support is possible it must be activated by carrier...in us volte is supported by carriers so if we want to use volte in our unbranded /unlocked device ms must collaborate with respective carrier and release firmware update which they dont..so no unlocked devices support volte in us only devices which brought from at&t have volte..but reliance support volte by default so mobiles which enabled volte by default have support for jio...their is also problem with dual sim models to enable volte itseem..i doubth they care about windows mobile anymore.
