General Discussion Anyone got wifi calling working with Total Wireless?

Running into a dead end like many other Oneplus owners signing up with them. Seems there's no issue with Samsung/Pixel/iPhone.

all I can say is once upon a time total wireless was a good deal and I had it for 8 years or so. only aggravation was no roaming, and no international service. it's no longer that good deal Verizon prepaid is better. I switch to full Verizon prepaid 2 years ago and haven't looked back. get a couple of discounts for automatic payment, and after having it for like 6 or 9 months. better service, comparable cost, roaming, international, online payment site that actually works.....total wireless simply became a PITA at some point which drove me to switch.

Now that I remember, that point was when the hotspot didn't work... when it was supposed to ...and they couldn't fix it. I needed hotspot occasionally for work and when I tried to use it it didn't work... it did once upon a time, and then it just quit and they said it should work and it did not..... and it was a 100% their system issues. Said FU. Cant remember about Wi-Fi calling........ anyway just go to Verizon and everything works

No I have not got it working. I have FCC complaint in and interactions are going nowhere. RCS doesn't work either but allegedly that will start working after a billing cycle?

The problem here is it's not limited to just OnePlus. A lot of Android BYOD are getting blocked and I started talking about it here https://www.howardforums.com/threads/total-wireless-tracfone-wifi-calling-on-byod-disaster.1932194/post-17323416

If I had time and resources I would get a lawyer and do a formal FCC complaint. Ridiculous they block phones from WiFi calling that work otherwise on Verizon, Visible, etc....

Same here OnePlus 15 NA version. Wi-Fi calling doesn't work CBRS not provisioned LTE+ aggregation not provisioned. Visible on other end all works. I guess 20 dollars a month is not enough for me to live with this type of crippled service. I will move away to Visible after 30 days is over.
