VoLTE is not already working on any phone or carrier.
On day it will. -
@rik I'm trying a Google Fi SIM in my 3a. It configures itself as T-Mobile. I reboot with wifi off. I can MMS photos fine, but when they are sent to me, from the same number I send to, it comes in to x-ofono-unknown, in other words, an unknown number. I was messing with this mostly in the development channel, and I when I received MMS I just got a delivery failure with the block of characters, but when I switched to the RC channel, I can receive to unknown number.

I bought a Red Pocket SIM, since success was reported with given APN numbers in the Halium 9 Bounty thread in this forum. I have success! MMS, group text, works. I want to provide a bit of the detail for me.
I'm in the Boulder, CO, USA area.
Red Pocket gives APN information on their website:
https://help.redpocket.com/hc/en-us/articles/360042491332The APN name is different there compared to the Bounty thread (which gives PRODATA). That doesn't seem to matter.
The MMS Proxy entry does matter. I found that the hostname didn't work, but the IP address did.
There was a suggestion around here that this might work better with WiFi OFF. I found that REPLIES from other phones to my group text (MMS) initiated from my P3a FAILED with WiFi OFF. When I turn WiFi ON, then group text replies SUCCEED. Odd that MMS would fail to be processed correctly on the P3a when WiFi is off.
I can't get my Google Fi SIM to work. It's got to be something about the APN settings. I think it's on the same network, but maybe GSMA with Google Fi might be on a network that doesn't work in my location? Maybe it's using T-Mobile and Red Pocket is using ATT? I don't know.

@lsitongia Google Fi uses T-mobile. Red Pocket has all networks. GSMA is AT&T, GSMT is T-mobile. So different network.
Strange that you had success with Wi-Fi on. Most were succeeding with it off. But gives us something to explore further.
