Could you post a screen shot please?


A  screenshot of what?   The fully unlocked version of the phone does not support HD voice or Wi-Fi calling if AT&T is your carrier.

I believe they were asking for a screenshot from the person above that says they have the option in settings on their unlocked phone.

Hi,

He said he purchased the unlocked version, and AT&T is his carrier.  There is no wi-fi option.  It's not supported.  I have the same device and carrier. There is no menu or setting for this feature.  It's not supported in the unlocked variant.

I have a note 8 and the option is not available. I did down load the app and it just gives me an error pop up. My carrier is US Cellular.

Seems like it is completely dependent on carrier. I purchased the s9+ unlocked from best buy. I was with Verzion at that time. A wifi calling setting was no where on the phone. There was also no visual voicemail. I made the switch to tmobile last week and as soon as i put the sim card in i got a wifi calling notification an the option is now there. I also have tmobile visual voicemail.

Wi-Fi calling us available on Verizon with unlocked S9, go to the phone dialer app, settings, then scroll all the way to the bottom. I could never find it in settings and finally found it on accident. Sorry if this is a repeat msg, I was super happy to find it.

Anyone have experience with wi-fi calling on an unlocked phone bought directly from AT&T? I'm okay with paying full price, but really need wi-fi calling, and the ability to change sims when traveling overseas.
