E-sim and WiFi calling, VoLTE

[Wonsz69]

Hello,

I just switched my new iPhone to e-sim, with an intention of using the physical sim when travelling. I noticed my WiFi Calling doesn't work (dropped calls in the basement), and also noticed my phone drops to 3G whenever I make a call.

After a chat with Fido tech support and some troubleshooting on the end of the nice guy helping me, he said he sees in his system that my e-sim is not compatible with neither WiFi calling nor VoLTE, therefore there is nothing that can be done.

That's a little disappointing... I wonder if others experience the same and one is in fact not compatible with the other?

Fido, is there a plan to make it work eventually?

Otherwise I'll be going back to the physical sim card, after pointless $20 exercise...

Thanks!

K.

Hi guys, I am in the same boat. Switched to esim and not able to turn on Wifi calling. Is there any resolution for this?

[Wonsz11]

Original issue was 3 years ago... works now.

Can you please help me to get it working for me  as well. It says " TO allow WIFI calling on this account, please contact Fido.

Although I had no issues with the physical sim in the past
