Not sure where in the data menu tp look. Right now my phone won't connect in VOLTE mode and the data menu shows VOLTE disabled. I don't know if my location doesn't provide VOLTE yet or if Sprint has to enable my account for VOLTE or what.

Is there anything indicating 25+41.  If so, note if it is checked or unchecked

If it's anything like T-Mobile's VoLTE, it will be highly variable.  Depending on channel width, signal quality, throughput rate and most importantly, the uplink connection from the device back to the

Yes, but they are not enabled.

WOW.  GREAT.  At least  the options are there.  Maybe we can get activation on this real soon.  If it ever shows up on my S9, I probably add the check-mark on some of this to see if it will work properly.  Might have to go back and un-check it, but I would try it.

I would enable every CA option possible. Sprint will wait to enable them when they become commonplace.  Why wait?

Jumping off of my previous issue with VoLTE with Verizon customers. It seems like Sprint to Sprint HD voice works fine both for incoming and outgoing calls but with Verizon users, it won't activate unless I call the person. Incoming calls from Verizon sound horrible.

The last time I did that on my S10+ and I went back into that menu, the toggles had been reset to their default positions automatically.

It used to be Sorint only did that through forced prl and profile updates. Sigh.

Similar on the Pixel 3. Sprint disables some AT&T bands (band 30 for example). I can enable it, it would stay enabled for about a day. Then when I go in again the following day it's disabled again.

The real question is how is Nationwide VoLTE defined.  The number of phones to be covered has already been scaled back.  Will that date include Magic Boxes and Airaves?  What about bringing in a VoLTE phone with no CDMA support to make calls on Sprint bands (ie, just uses one SIM card or eSIM not tied to that phone)?  What will the coverage area be?  Will it be shown on coverage maps?

Software man, just a flip of the switch. 

An oldy, but seems relevant again.

I have 2 handsets. My primary handset is a iPhone 11 Pro Max on Sprint and I have had VoLTE and works well.

My secondary handset is a Google Pixel 3XL on Google Fi using Sprint’s towers mostly and still on CDMA voice.

Does anyone think that Sprint will allow MVNO ‘a like Fi to access VoLTE?

Anybody know when they'll officially announce their nationwide VoLTE launch?

It was "by year end" but in Sprint language. "By year end" in Sprint language translates to "by the end of the next year" in normal English.

@RAvirani Do you have any further information on when the national VoLTE launch will take place?

First they said before EOY 2019, then they moved the date to Jan 3, and now I'm not sure what they're doing.

I believe they're targeting end of first quarter 2020, but I have no idea if that will happen or not.

Does anyone with an iPhone XS MAX have issues with voLTE calls?

When I get in fringe areas the call goes in and out and sometimes just drop altogether.

If there is a problem with VOLTE, you discovered it.  Volte will work sometimes with a crappy signal, but other times it will not.  Does not work as good as the old CDMA in very weak areas.   I am still using CDMA and will continue to do so because of this issue.

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
