As per title, why my Google Pixel 4XL is not on the list of the supported VoLTE phones? I believe it has the ability but it's somehow deactivated? Is someone in the same situation?

    Hi @Andrea M. 86963

    Don't worry at this stage about the list

    Do you have the VoLTE sim? If you don't have https://zone.fizz.ca/dce/customer-ui-prod/simcard/free-order?step=quantity


    It seems that you subscribed before the 16th Mars 2022, therefore, you cannot use at the moment the VoLTE technology.

    On my opinion, 99.9999% of the mobile with the VoLTE technology will be compatible, Fizz cannot certified all the phones

    Calling will be possible again by spring 2023 when Fizz offers VoLTE on its own network. At that time, using a VoLTE certified phone updated with the latest software update and activated with a VoLTE compatible SIM card will allow you to make calls when in the United States.

    Your plan should already be activated with a VoLTE compatible SIM card. If you are using a VoLTE-certified phone updated with the latest software update, calls and texts will work in the U.S. If it is not, you will only have access to your mobile data.

    Hi @Andrea M. 86963

    The VoLTE option is disabled since the network does not currently support it for people who activated their plan before March 2022. Therefore, the majority of us we are in the same situation, and we are waiting this feature to be activated.


    Moreover, it is compatible with videotron https://videotron.tmtx.ca/en/topic/google_pixel4xl/activating_voice_over_lte_volte.html#step=5

    Fizz has a liter of maybe 1% of compatible phones if you have activated your advent package on March 16th it will be in the spring that you have been activated turn around it takes the sim card with the red flash

    In several posts it was mentioned by @Whizz that almost all phones released after 2018 will be compatible.

    So should I order the volte sim anyway and wait for fizz to deploy it for us old customers?

    Fizz wrote that the transition will be done in the spring 2023, therefore, it can be in couples of weeks or months, we are close to it
