How To Put A Straight Talk Sim Card In Lg G5

This FAQ exists because Consumer Cellular's webpage offers little particular on what advanced calling features are supported by their service. The service coverage map briefly mentions but does non explicate HDVoice, which tin improve call quality and/or reception (if LTE-point is better in your area.) In that location is no mention whatsoever of wifi-calling, which is useful for internet-subscribers in a zone with marginal cellular reception.

Until Consumer Cellular (CCell) makes a comprehensive argument regarding these topics, this user thread will (hopefully) shed some light on how these advanced calling features relate to CCell subscribers.

Before nosotros get started:

CCell = brusque for "Consumer Cellular" (the wireless carrier)
CCell<TM> = Consumer Cellular service, with TMobile equally the carrier network. (For CCell customers with a TMobile-type simcard.)
CCell<ATT> = Consumer Cellular service, with AT&T every bit the carrier network. (For CCell customers with a AT&T-blazon simcard.)
https://world wide web.cricketwireless.com/supp...i-calling.html - Cricket wireless'south FAQ on Wifi-Calling with their service; most points hither apply to CCell<ATT> service.
https://www.cricketwireless.com/supp.../hard disk drive-vocalization.html - Cricket wireless's FAQ on HDVoice; near points hither utilize to CCell<ATT> service.
https://www.consumercellular.com/Cov...egacyMap=False - CCell'due south coverage map, with minimal caption of HDVoice.

(1) Does Consumer Cellular (CCell) service offer HDVoice and Wifi-Calling?
Yes: all CCell subscribers tin can get their telephone line(southward) provisioned for both VoLTE and Wifi-Calling, regardless of which carrier-network hosts the line (TMobile or AT&T.)
[User confirmation] CCell<ATT> HDVoice & Wifi-calling confirmed on unlocked IPhone, and Cricket-branded Samsung Milky way Amp Prime.
[User confirmation] CCell<TM> HDVoice & Wifi-calling confirmed on unlocked IPhone, unlocked Motorola G5+, TMobile-branded Microsoft Lumia 640.

(2) Do I need to pay extra to get HDVoice/Wifi-Calling?
These avant-garde calling features are already included in your CCell calling program; there is no extra fee to use them.

(3) How exercise I enable HDVoice/Wifi-calling on my CCell account?
* (AT&T) Before you tin can use VoLTE/HDVoice, your line must be provisioned by CCell. The online account portal does non give customers the power to see/request the status of your line; you must contact CCell technical support to request the provisioning, . You may exist asked for the phone's IMEI. Based on user reports, AT&T or Cricket branded phones that accept been previously used on AT&T's network may work regardless of the IMEI# reported to CCell.
* (AT&T and TMobile) Before yous tin apply Wifi-calling, your line must exist provisioned by CCell.
* (TMobile) All CCell<TM> lines are provisioned for HDVoice during line-activation. You do non demand to contact technical support, unless y'all feel issues using HDVoice.
Business relationship activation tip: if y'all are planning to add a new line of service through a BYOD device, when the online activation portal asks if your device is an iPhone, and then answering 'YES' will automatically provision the line for Wifi-Calling and HDVoice, without further need to contact technical support.
Beyond getting your line provisioned, both you and the other party must have devices with official carrier back up/cerification. (More than on this later.)

(4) Carrier interoperability: Is HDVoice calling limited to calls with other CCell customers?
Interoperability is adamant by your simcard's carrier-network.
* subscribers on CCell<ATT>: HDVoice-callling is possible (but not guaranteed) with all AT&T HDVoice-capable subscribers that use AT&T's network, including AT&T postpaid, Cricket Wireless, and other CCell<ATT> subscribers.
[user report] CCell<ATT> to Cricket wireless is confirmed to be HDVoice-capable. CCell<ATT> to TMobile is non HDvoice-capable.
*
[likely] subscribers on CCell<TM>: HDVoice-calling is possible with all TMobile HDVoice-capable subscribers that use TMobile'south network, including TMobile prepaid/postpaid, TMobile MVNOs, and other CCell<TM> subscribers. [user report] CCell<TM> to TMobile(postpaid) is confirmed to be HDVoice-capable. CCell<TM> to AT&T is not HDvoice-capable.[user study]Calls between CCell<TM> and CCell<ATT> are not carried with HDVoice, even if both phone-lines are on the same CCell business relationship! (About probable due to lack of HDvoice-interoperability between AT&T and TMobile.)

(5) Which CCell branded supported devices back up HDVoice/Wifi-calling with CCell<ATT> and CCell<TMobile>? [unknown] At a minimum, all IPhone/vi and later models back up both features on both of CCell's carriers (AT&T and TMobile.) For devices that are available from both TMObile and AT&T (such equally the Samsung Galaxy), there has been no statement/confirmation as to which of the carrier's advanced calling is supported.

(6) What BYOD devices (i.e. non-CCell) support CCell HDVoice and Wifi-calling?
Device support varies by the simcard'due south network-carrier.

For CCell customer with AT&T-based simcard:

[About likely] In general, whatsoever device that supports AT&T HDVoice and AT&T Wifi-calling volition continue to support those features on a CCell<ATT> line. [*requires confirmation!] Refer to AT&T wireless'due south website for a listing of currently supported phones. (If you are using an AT&T branded phones sold from an AT&T retail-store or from the web, tbe telephone can be taken direct to CCell without unlocking, although it'due south e'er a skilful thought to get your device carrier-unlocked before leaving AT&T.)
[confirmed past Apple's carrier feature support page] All Apple tree Iphone 6/half-dozen+/SE and later on models. If you purchased your IPhone from a carrier other than AT&T, so carrier lock rules apply -- yous will demand to get it carrier-unlocked before bringing information technology to CCell.
Google Pixel 2 (with Android 8.i update)
[possible for some devices] Devices from other AT&T MVNOs (eg. Cricket Wireless) that support HDVoice & Wifi-calling might work. Carrier lock rules use -- yous will need to get the phone unlocked by the carrier, prior to bringing it to CCell<ATT>. (User written report confirms Cricket Milky way Amp Prime number with Android vii.1.1 update supports VoLTE/HDVoice and WiFi-calling on CCell<ATT>; although wifi-calling is not reliable.)

For CCell customer with TMobile-based simcard:

[Nearly likely] In full general, any device that supports TMobile HDVoice and TMobile Wifi-calling, volition keep to support those features on a CCell<TM> line. [*requires confirmation!] Refer to TMobile's wireless's website for a list of currently supported phones.
TMobile branded devices (those sold through TMobile's webstore and retail stores) can be taken to CCell without requisite unlocking, although it's always a skillful thought to get your device carrier-unlocked earlier leaving TMobile.
many recent unlocked Android smartphones (i.due east. shipped with Android vi or later), as most unlocked Android devices are TMobile HDvoice and wifi-calling set.
[confirmed by Apple's carrier feature support page] (same policy as with CCell<ATT>.)
[possible for some devices] Devices from other TMobile MVNOs (such as MetroPCS) that support HDVoice and Wifi-calling might piece of work. Carrier lock rules employ -- you will demand to get the telephone unlocked by the carrier, prior to bringing information technology to CCell<TM>.
General caveat for both TMobile and AT&T: With the exception of the Apple IPhone, well-nigh carrier-branded phones simply back up HDVoice/Wifi-calling on that carrier's network -- for example, AT&T branded Samsung Galaxy S6 does not support HDVoice/Wifi-calling on TMobile, even though the unlocked/TMobile version of the same devices does!
General caveat for BYOD devices: If your phone is not straight supported by CCell'southward network, y'all may need to manually prepare the device's APNs for MMS and cellular-device. Refer to Consumer Cellular'due south website for the correct APN settings.

For example, CCell's network recognizes and auto-configures the Motorola G5 Plus and Apple Iphone (regardless of whether they were obtained from CCell), but does non recognize the Cricket Galaxy Amp Prime or Microsoft Lumia 640. (The Amp Prime number supports AT&T HDVoice and Wifi-calling, while the Lumia 640 supports TMobile HDVoice and Wifi-calling.)

NO official confirmation from Consumer Cellular itself. We simply have indirect confirmation from the following sources:

2d-party confirmation past Apple tree, list Consumer Cellular as supporting VoLTE &
Wifi-calling with electric current-model IPhones (half dozen, SE, and later): https://back up.apple tree.com/en-us/HT204039

3rd-party confirmation (user reports) from myself and a few others on this forum, having been told past CCell's technical support that WiFi-calling is supported (with selected phones, Iphone being one of them.) The phoneline must be provisioned for WiFi-Calling, which merely technical back up tin can enable at this time. (The rep I spoke with wasn't sure why all new activated lines aren't already provisioned for VoLTE + Wifi-calling.)http://www.howardforums.com/showthre...-T-MVNOs/page4

And user-reports confirming success with setting-upwardly & enabling Wifi-calling with CCell<ATT> service. On a related note, AT&T'southward MVNO (Cricket Wireless) also supports these advanced calling features on the same IPhone models (vi, SE, and after.)

From a practical standpoint, I think it's safe to say information technology's working, fifty-fifty in the absence of any mention any on Consumer Cellular's homepage. However, until CCell adds the Wifi-calling to their official homepage, I suppose they could nevertheless withdraw this feature...(peculiarly if they get flooded with support calls from customers who can't get it working correctly.)

(unlocked) Apple tree IPhoneX: supports HDvoice and wifi-callling on both CCell<ATT> and CCell<TM> (CCell<ATT> requires iOS 11.two update and December/2017 carrier update 31.1 or later.)

Name: iphone_cc_att_wificalling2.jpg Views: 23589 Size: 27.4 KB

(Cricked-branded) Samsung Galaxy Amp Prime: supports HDVoice and wifi-calling, but only on CCell<ATT> (not on CCell<TM>.) Requires (Cricket) Android 7.1.1 update Nov/2017. Warning: With the 7.i.1 update, the Amp Prime runs considerably slower than the original Android 6.0.i (probably due to its limited 1.5GB RAM.)

Strange - I can get (ATT) Wifi calling working on an iphone 7 (ios 11.ii.1), withal non on my 6s plus (notwithstanding on ios 10.3.3). My Carrier reads every bit "CC 28.2.5."

If I put the sim carte in the iphone vii, WIFI calling works. When I put information technology back in the 6s, no wifi calling. Both are unlocked. Both are formerly used on verizon. Wonder if information technology'south an iOS matter. I could try "reset network settings" on the 6s but I don't want to lose my wifi passwords.

I specifically recall Apple tree's carrier support page did not listing VoLTE/Wifi-calling for Consumer Cellular until recently (after Dec 7.) Also, Cricket Wireless (an AT&T MVNO) only recently received support for AT&T wifi-calling (with Carrier Update 31.1 and iOS 11.2), although VoLTE was working much earlier. I think it's reasonable to assume Cricket wifi-calling and CCell<ATT> wifi-calling were added in the same carrier-update (31.one)

Is the iOS 11.2.1 update not available withal for the iPhone/6s?

Sidebar: when I put a CCell<TM> simcard into the iPhone, the reported Carrier version is 31.0.

Just got an email reply from CC to my inquiry: "Thanks for your email, I�k happy to help you with your WiFi Calling enquiry today. Nosotros are excited to denote that we are at present supporting the WiFi Calling feature with both of our carriers, AT&T and T-Mobile. If you decide to sign up for service, you may need to contact us one time your new SIM card has been activated to ensure the feature has been enabled properly for your line of service. ..."

On the T-Mobile side of CCell:

TMobile-branded Microsoft Lumia 640 (US model, Windows Phone 8.one): both VoLTE and WiFi-calling. (Configuration notation: user must manufally configure device APNs, otherwise internet-access and text-msg don't piece of work.)

(unlocked) Motorola G5 Plus (Android seven.0): both VoLTE and WiFi-calling are supported

CCell<ATT>
Update with devices I've had experience with on Consumer Cellular ATTMoto X4 Unlocked - (w/Android 8 and ix) - Neither VoLTE or WiFi calling seemed to work.Moto G6 Unlocked - (Android 8) - VoLTE (HD Vocalism) work, ATT Visual Voicemail app worked on two lines (they were ported from ATT Prepaid nonetheless). WiFi calling did not work.Pixel 2 40 Unlocked- (Android 9) - Neither VoLTE or WiFI calling worked for me.

OnePlus 6T Unlocked - (Android 9/Oxygen ix) - After entering *#800 # and turning on the office switches, VoLTE (Hard disk Voice) works, WiFi calling shows available, but haven't been able to confirm it actually works yet

Update with devices I have experience with on Consumer Cellular AT&T
Unlocked LG G6, model us997 - VoLTE does non seem to piece of work

Simply activated service with them 2 days ago, will keep testing. Hard disk drive vocalization was previously working on Verizon. Considering switching to an unlocked Galaxy S9 or S10 if I tin can get confirmation VoLTE would piece of work. Galaxy S10 is rumored to be released in March, about a month abroad from now.

Question, how practice y'all examination to meet if VoLTE is working or not? On Verizon, the screen said "Hd Vox" on it. Is there a similar onscreen bulletin maxim something similar VoLTE during a phone call to bespeak the function is working properly?

if LTE stays while on a phone call then y'all accept VoLTE enabled. some other fashion to tell on some android phones is to dial*#*#4636#*#* a hole-and-corner carte volition show select phone information and ringlet downwardly and you should run across some switches for VoLTE - WIFI Calling ect.

In that case correction to post. LG G6 appears to exist working properly with VoLTE. 4g symbol stays onscreen during call. And information technology says VoLTE provisioned when entering the lawmaking above. Also, I tried browsing the internet during a telephone call (wifi off) and could do and then. Thanks.

On att new yo can practice voice and data even without volte. Our pho normally shows lte for data but 4g during a yous not have volte. Att network by and large doesn't back up volte unless take att branded phone, pixel three, or iPhone.

My retired and fixed-income elderly brother lives in Brunswick, Maine (Null Lawmaking 04011,) and uses cellular service strictly for vocalization and not a lot of minutes. His occasional travel is express to the New England coast from Boston to Canada. Near of his time is spent in and around Brunswick. He is currently using U.S. Cellular but considering a move to Consumer Cellular to save almost $thirty per calendar month.

Which carrier does CC use for Brunswick, ME, subscribers? Would his coverage be similar to that carrier'due south prepaid service? Tin anyone offer a better alternative?

TIA
