Identical Phone with the same SIM doesn't have a voLTE option

I own a J3 2017.

It has always been able to use voLTE.

Recently, it’s microphone broke and I replaced it with an identical model.

Same software version, identical hardware.

I moved my SIM from the old phone to the new, but the new one does not have a voLTE option.

If I put my SIM back into the old phone, the voLTE option is still there.

 

The only difference I could find between the two phones was in the iD Internet access point, under the Access Point Names menu.

The new phone (voLTE unavailable) has all the options unlocked, and I can edit them.

The old phone (voLTE available) has all the options greyed out and I can edit nothing.

 

If someone could explain to me how to get voLTE enabled on my replacement phone, I would be grateful.

 

Hi @fenodyree 

 

Unfortunately as suggested the J3 isn’t officially supported for 4G and Wi-Fi calling, we wouldn’t expect it to work, sorry.

Yes it is, specifically this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154506262857

I did notice that the J3 wasn’t on the list, but as I have a working J3, I had assumed that was in error.


According to the online approved handsets for iD Mobile, their network doesn’t support use of VoLTE (4G Calling) and WiFi Calling using the Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017), @fenodyree

Was the phone just purchased a refurb handset?
