I understand the dual-sim version is the L29, and it's not sold in Europe, but can be bought on ebay.
Does anyone know if this is compatible with wi-fi calling on the EE network in the UK? EE says the P10 plus is, even if not bought directly from them, but it's not clear if this applies to the dual sim version, too.
For example, the single-sim galaxy S7 works with wi-fi calling even when not bought through EE; the dual sim doesn't, but there are reports of people who got it to work by flashing a different firmware.
Thanks!
me too interested, i need activate dualsim and voip on L09...

I bought an S7 Edge SM-G9350 Dual Sim that is unlocked. I was planning on using it on AT&T but apparently the Dual Sim model isn't compatible with the 4G LTE in the US. The AT&T rep I worked with called his Samsung rep and verified it wouldn't work on 4G. We checked all the APN settings and bands the device is capable of, verifying it should work. Is there any way to make it work correctly as it seems to be a software issue?
I spoke with another AT&T rep who said it doesn't appear to have the region lock as it wouldn't activate on the AT&T network at all then but he didn't know why it wouldn't work. From the article I read the region lock is separate from the network lock. The region lock is removed if a phone call of 5 min is made in the area the phone is from. Then the region lock is deactivated. Here is the article I found. www . androidcentral.com/your-unlocked-euro-galaxy-s7-still-region-locked-thats-not-huge-deal
Would flashing another ROM work, or what level is the incompatibility? In the network settings there are listings for the carriers and their 2G and 3G settings but nothing else.
Apparently this thread double posted so this one can be deleted by a Mod
really... i'm calling BS on the reps... what is your definition of "working fully"? i have a dual sim G935FD and LTE works just fine on AT&T. the international version is missing 2 bands (29 and 30?), that's used in certain areas. other than that, i personally have not had any issues/ have you tried using an AT&T sim to confirm the phone won't work, use LTE? see below as well (WillMyPhoneWork.net):

Recently I got an S8 and I ported over my number to freedom from fido.
I thought the wifi is available on S8 but it is not.
Does anyone know when wifi calling would be available for S8?
The S8 supports VoLTE and WiFi calling, however it's upto the Carrier to enable the feature. I'm on Rogers, with my S8 I have WiFi calling and VoLTE working. However people who have unlocked S8's on Rogers won't get WiFi calling or VoLTE because Rogers blocks it on phones not purchased directly from Rogers.
Actually Rogers does not block any phone that it is not purchased from roger's itself.
I have been with Fido for 12 years and last year I got a brand new S7 edge from the Samsung store in Sherway Gardens.
The VoLTE and Wifi calling worked out of the box.
I called Fido and I wanted to make sure to register my new IMEI and the woman on the phone told me that the IMEI is automatically registered after few days
but just in any case she did regestered it.
I kept my Fido for few days before I port my number to Freedom and the S8 I got from Freedom worked in Fido (I unlocked it)
and the VoLTE and the wifi calling. Although what I did was to change the CSC. Then I changed the CSC back to Freedom and I did
not have the option for the wifi calling.
What I have noticed is that the phones that are sold in Canada (At least the major models ) are the same and the only difference is the CSC (network customization)
code that are come preloaded.
Now Freedom is a new to VoLTE and Wifi calling so I am waiting to enable the wifi calling in S8

I don't know what the thread says but I can tell you that I have been with Fido for 12 years and last year I bought from Samsung Store a S7 and after few months an S7 edge
and on both phones VoLTE and wifi calling was working just fine.
I never had a single problem.
Also I called Fido representative and confirmed that both services were configured on my account with a problem
Also few days ago when I got my S8 from Freedom (I sim unlocked it) I put it on my Fido sim card
and VoLTE and Wifi were working again just fine

I recently brought Galaxy S8 SM-G950F (international unlocked) version and use Ultra mobile which in turn uses T-Mobile network in US. I have following queries:
1. Currently Wifi calling is not working nor can I see any options to enable/disable it. Does international unlocked phone do not have this feature? I tried the call setting menu and more connection settings but it does not appear in both of them.
2. After the call connects, my data switches to H or H+ (3G) but otherwise it remains on LTE/LTE+. Is this an issue with my phone or the carrier? My friend uses the same ultra mobile network with IPhone 6s and LTE works while on call so I think its not a carrier issue but not sure. I have heard LTE works on carrier provided galaxy s8 models.
I also have any option to exchange my phone for North America unlocked version S8 SM-G950U. Does this model supports above features? Should I go for this exchange?

You will not get wifi calling or volte on any of the unlocked phones while they are stock. Each carrier is slightly different on what u need to do. Tmobile only need a firmware flash with a carrier that has the option. Att is the hardest, many more steps.
Hello. I recently purchased an unlocked Galaxy S8. The model number is SM-G950FD. I am wondering if it is possible that I can be able to put the North American Tmobile Rom on it. Reason is that since I am using on TMO, I dont have access to VOLTE or WiFi Calling. Is there any workaround to be able to activate and or use? All I need is the WIFI calling, any help would be appreciated, thanks!
