Hello @kavkaz

Mine works just fine. I have the little phone symbol on the top right beside the WiFi icon. Turned into airplane mode and worked still.

Hello @kavkaz

From what i know, it should be enabled and working only on the Rogers branded ones.

Hello, @kavkaz

 

Thank you for posting your query in the Community. At this moment I see the Wi-Fi Calling feature is supported on both Samsung Galaxy S8 and Samsung Galaxy S8+ devices. Please stay tuned, we will update this thread as more information becomes available. Thank you for your patience. 

 

Cheers,

So I assume only Rogers S8/S8+ will able to use VoWiFi and VOLTE?

Hello @RNEric

That is correct. With all androids and iPhones. They roll out those to be enabled on the Rogers branded ones and then later on to the unlocked models

Is the battery drain issue with WiFi calling resolved?

Hello @rzanatta

The device has not been released yet. So i don't believe we are talking about the same one.

When first implemented, just having the feature enabled caused a noticeable battery drain on the S7, and users disabled the feature for that reason.

That's what I was referring to. Was that issue every fixed?

Hello @rzanatta

I believe it has. No battery drain as of yet here with the S8+.

Called support and they said they have no idea why it's not working . Sad..

Hello @kavkaz

I can confirm as per my images on page 1 it's working and so is VOLTE. So maybe it's ur account that's having issues or provisioning errors.

Add me to the list of not working, as soon as I enter in my code it says device not supported and to contact Rogers.

Is this for a Rogers Samsung or is it an unlocked device?

Hello @RNEric

Its only available at the moment for Rogers branded devices. Unlocked ones will have to wait. ( if u are asking)

Hello @AccordXTC

It did that once or twice with me but once I did airplane mode and put it back on, it worked and the second time I just restarted my phone and worked.

For those having an issue with WiFi calling, did you go through the registration process successfully? Or is that not required with the S8?

Hello @kavkaz

Then I wonder how mine is working if there is a issue unless it's only for some?

I had no problem activating WiFi calling on my S8. I had it enabled on my S7 (then switched to a Pixel) and simply turned it on on the S8 and it worked immediately.

I tried several times, rebooted phone, same issue. 

there is no registration, it asks for your phone number, sends you a text with code, and then we enter out code. 

when we enter the code, it returns the error - device not supported. 

 

I upgraded from S7 edge, and it was working fine on that device.
