Currently using Airtel sim on samsung galaxy S8. I'm facing some network problem in my area so I can't able to make or receive a call due to this problem. So I decided to use wifi calling feature. Now I came to know that wifi calling feature is not available in that list which was published by Airtel. Then I contacted airtel regarding this issue. They said that my mobile phone doesn't support Wifi calling. Then I have searched wifi calling feature on my phone. Its available. The thing is I cant able to disable or enable it. (I have attached screenshot of it )
Then I just switched my primary sim to JIO for checking whether wifi calling is working or not. Happly it's working fine on JIO sim.
Jio is supporting wifi calling why not Airtel..?
OS Version : Android Pie one UI 1.0 (using Samsung original software)
is there any other way to unlock this feature .....?

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

check this thread, Rogers will not support VoLTE and WiFi calling on phones NOT purchased directly from Rogers:

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 have an unlocked Galaxy S7 Edge (SM-G935U). My carrier is Total Wireless (Verizon MVNO). I recently got a new office at work, and the Verizon coverage in this part of the building is terrible. I use wifi for data but cellular calling basically doesn't work at all.
I've been looking at other networks, and I'm leaning toward T-Mobile or MetroPCS, one of the reasons being they have wifi calling and the wifi at my office is plenty fast. I checked in settings to see the wifi calling option, but when I go to settings > connections > more connection settings, which is where the wifi calling setting is supposed to be, there's nothing about wifi calling.
I had a thought that maybe the wifi calling option isn't there because my current carrier doesn't support wifi calling, so I contacted Samsung support. I asked if I get a SIM from a carrier that supports wifi calling, would the wifi calling option be enabled. They said that unlocked phones don't support wifi calling at all.
This confuses me, because this thread mentions some people were able to use T-Mobile wifi calling on an unlocked S7/S7Edge. But that thread is older, so maybe for some reason wifi calling was removed from the unlocked S7 Edge with the Nougat update?
I suppose the only way to find out for sure is to get a T-Mobile or MetroPCS SIM and see what happens. But is anyone able to shed some light on if this is even worth trying? I suppose it's also worth trying out just to see if regular cellular calling on T-Mobile might be fine at my new desk, but hopefully there's some way to do wifi calling.
Unfortunately I think you need the sm-g935f to get t mobile wifi calling. Don't think it was ever achieved on the U models
I had an s7 edge from T-Mobile (SM-G935T) but I flashed the unlocked firmware essentially making it a SM-G935U and I had VoLTE and Wifi calling working with no issues. It was about a month ago, so it was on Nougat. I would expect no issues with an actual SM-G935U on T-Mobile.
Well, I answered my own question. I switched over to the T-Mobile 10 GB $50/month prepaid plan and when I changed SIMs the phone gave me a "reconfiguring your device for new SIM card" message. Wifi calling is now active.
Also, this is a list of phones that support T-Mobile wifi calling. I probably should've checked here first.

Hi,
after upgrading to Pie I experienced call drops and poor coverage.
I then investigated and found out VolLTE, which should be supported, is not enabled in my phone. I also understand that WiFi Calling is also supported by this phone, but I cannot find out where/how to enable it.
The phone is not rooted and I use two sim cards: Vodafone and EE.
I dialled *#*#4636#*#* and "VoLTE provisioned" is disabled, "Video Calling provisioned" is disabled, "Wi-Fi calling provisioned" is disabled and "EAB/Presence Provisioned" is disabled. Is that normal?
Please let me know
Thank you!
Does your carrier support Volte and VoWifi patches for this device?
Hi, yes they should do. I
VoWIFI Calling has been enabled in my device (Jio).
I am still not able to see Vowifi calling option in my handset...I have airtel sim card

Maybe Airtel hasn't enabled VoWIFI in your location.

Airtel supports wifi calling on nokia 6.1 plus. I am using it. Try to enable it with jio sim. Then use airtel sim. It worked for many users. u ll see the option to enable wifi calling then.
I have sold the phone, it just did not work properly
I then bought a Xiaomi MI 9 SE which is MUCH better in every way

Anyone got jios VoWIFI in M30s?
My sim is in Kerala zone and trying from BSNL WIFI.
While trying to activate VoWIFI from quick settings the icon stays activated for few seconds and returns to deactivated state.
Yes Jio VoWifi is working in Delhi, but it supports only few broadband. Firstly you have to connect to wifi then enable wifi calling under settings menu. If your broadband ISP gets supported (due to some unknown reason) then you will see VoWifi icon instead of VoLte and you will also see a wifi logo on the call button.
If your broadband ISP is not supported then after few seconds wifi calling options gets turned off automatically
See this pic for clarity
Jio vowifi not working in m30s
Even I have the same problem with m30s. I am in Bangalore and I use Airtel Broadband. If I turn on wifi calling, it turn off automatically in few seconds. Airtel vowifi works fine. Samsung cc informed me that this will be solved with next update. I don't think it is ISP issue coz I tried creating hotspot from jio SIM and it still does not work. If I insert my jio SIM to remind 7A vowifi works fine.
I have a flame (Google Fi store variant) on Sprint Billing T-mobile network using a physical nano Sim (TNX) and I self activated it a couple of weeks ago. I understand that all newly activated devices need to be VoLTE compliant. I fervently believe that my device is making and receiving calls using VoLTE when on LTE and using WiFi calling on my home network.
My question is why does my handset lie to my network cell information app and say it's VoLTE capable No. It does show WiFi call available Yes?
