If you have a VoLTE-capable phone and still not getting VoLTE services on it. Just follow this concise guide to activate VoLTE on your device.
In February 2018, Vodafone launched VoLTE services in metropolitans and select cities in India. The enhanced service is available for free of cost but you need to have a VoLTE-capable device. If you have either Prepaid or Postpaid connections, this guide will work for both of them. Follow these simple steps for activation (please note, these steps are for Android users only, sorry Apple fans.)
What You Will Get?
Notice the VoLTE icon on the status bar next to the 4G signal strength.
So Let's Get Started
From Within Your Phone Settings:
Step 1: Go to Settings.
Step 2: Tap on Mobile networks.
Step 3: Look for VoLTE option and turn on VoLTE Mode.
Note: Also make sure that your device’s firmware is up to date (including the one that should be able to turn on VoLTE.)
OR
Hard Reset & Wipe:
Make sure your device is charged more than 60%.
Disclaimer: This step would erase the data present on your phone, I would strongly recommend making a backup of your personal data before proceeding.
Step 1: Turn off your device.
Step 2: Press and hold Power and Volume Down Button
NOTE: Other common button combinations are
- Nexus devices - Volume Up, Volume Down, and Power
- Samsung devices - Volume Up, Home, and Power
- Moto devices - Volume Down and Power
- Other devices generally use Volume Down and Power. Some devices with physical user interfaces may use the Power and Home buttons.
Step 3: When you are in Recovery Menu, look for wipe data/factory reset, use the Volume keys to navigate and Power Key to select.
Step 4: Similarly, look for wipe cache partition, after performing both wipes, Reboot the phone.
