Unlocked s8+

Got an unlocked galaxy s8+ on the at&t network but doesn't have video calling, volte, or wifi calling features. Is there a way to get these with a carrier pushed update? Or a way for Samsung to do it?

That is one of the problems with unlocked phones, they don't always have all of the features when used on another network.

Nope should have gotten the ATT version if you wanted those features....  ATT will not allow these features on unlocked android phones with the exception of the HTC 10 which was certified.  The iphone 6 and above will work from any carrier.

Never get AT&T version. Keep your phone unlocked. If you want HD calling use Viber .I've tried T-Mobile and Sprint sim cards on my Unlocked S8+ and both of them gave me HD calling and WIFI calling, so what's AT&T saying is not right.

No what att is saying is right...  They dont support wifi calling on devices that are not certified in there lab...  ie the unlocked s8 series was not certified...  Its really all about the csc files.

So, we pay ATT's high prices and can't use WiFi calling because we didn't buy the phone from them... Ok Google, find the nearest T-Mobile store.

T-Mobile is too shy and polite in my area, so when I enter to any house or building it won't come with me, but it'ill wait for me outside. 😄
