How to Enable VoWiFi and VoLTE in Google Pixel 6 and 6 Pro

VoLTE (Voice-over-LTE) is a useful voice service by mobile carriers for providing voice calls using a more advanced LTE network instead of a wireless voice network. It basically offers superior voice calling quality along with browsing the internet and using data-driven apps while calling. Whereas VoWiFi (Voice-over-WiFi) offers voice calls over Wi-Fi. But plenty of affected users is finding ways to Enable VoWiFi and VoLTE in Google Pixel 6 and 6 Pro manually.

When it comes to VoLTE and VoWiFi on mobile devices, these are one of the most useful features that we can’t live without in this era. However, smartphones do come with several bugs or errors in their system that can easily trigger multiple issues just like the VoWiFi or VoLTE not working properly. Some Pixel 6 series users are reporting that they’re unable to use voice-over-LTE and voice-over-WiFi features.

It seems that the Pixel 6 series devices do not officially support the VoLTE or VoWiFi feature even if the network carrier supports it. Well, if we take a look back then you can get to know that this is a prominent issue among Pixel devices since its earlier days. So, nothing happened all of a sudden whatsoever. Previously, we could use the Qualcomm Tool to access the modem and manually set the MBN. But now it’s not possible on Pixel 6/6 Pro models.

• Make sure to type in the command below to open the ADB shell window:

adb shell

• Then run the following SuperUser command (you should see your device codename ‘oriole’)

su

• You’ll now get a pop-up from Magisk > Tap on Grant.
• Now, change the directory to com.android.phone by running the below command:

cd /data/user_de/0/com.android.phone

• Then run the command below to list out all the directories:

ls -l

• Next, you should see a carrier config XMF file with the name (the name will depend on the carrier, so it may vary). [Credits: XDA Senior Member foobar66].

carrierconfig-com.google.android.carrier-8932002100401134483-1365.xml

• Then execute the below command to edit the XML file using BusyBox (make sure to change the name of the file accordingly):

busybox vi carrierconfig-com.google.android.carrier-8932002100401134483-1365.xml

• Once the file is opened, you should see the <bundle> keyword at the top. Just add the following five command lines below that:

<boolean name="show_4g_for_lte_data_icon_bool" value="true" />
<boolean name="enhanced_4g_lte_on_by_default_bool" value="true" />
<boolean name="carrier_volte_available_bool" value="true" />
