Eh -- first link that popped up off Google that was from Rogers was this one: http://www.rogers.com/web/support/wireless/volte/2184
On that page:
What do I need to have in order to use VoLTE?
All Rogers post-paid customers with a LTE SIM card, a VoLTE-compatible phone and updated device software can take advantage of this enhancement automatically.
Both Pixel and the Pixel XL are VoLTE-compatible phones.

Would be great if we could do something like have the IMEI registered to Rogers to see if that helps, but it doesn't appear so. I made the mistake of putting a different sim in one of my devices so I can't get those features on my s8 even though it's unlocked and has Rogers software on it.
With the pixel it's even more complex as it's straight up unlocked but yea if you didn't buy it from Rogers you're out of luck
I wonder about that person who suggested relocking it to Rogers through wireless wave etc. Is that even possible for a pixel?

"All Rogers post-paid customers with a LTE SIM card, a VoLTE-compatible phone and updated device software" would indeed include Pixel and Pixel XL phones that are bought from other places, since those phones would certainly fall under "VoLTE-compatible".

@Meowmix -- I'm not arguing whether they actually support non-Rogers devices. My point was simply that at least on some level, they certainly claim to.

Honestly, all I want to know is if there's a technical reason why this isn't possible, in which case I'll just get over it.
If the reason is indeed "because you don't give us enough money", then that's grounds for switching carriers.

I bought at Best Buy but Rogers is getting my money and by the end of my term I will have paid more than $800 for my Pixel XL. At that price I should get all the bells and whistles that are possible! Holding features hostage is no way to treat loyal customers who spend thousands of dollars each, every year. It shows them to be a money grubbing, uncaring, arrogant, corporation.

I'd be very surprised if there is a technical reason. VoLTE and Wifi calling are standards available to everyone. In fact, compared to some other carriers, Rogers is behind the game with this.
