Safaricom recently rolled out volte calling on its network this coming after Faiba had ruffled feathers with this no so common feature that is promising to revolutionize the way we communicate. Among the many advantages of volte is being able to switch from voice to video during the call if both parties have supported devices. Another is the clarity of calls is guaranteed even in noisy places like market places. The list of supported devices is scanty and scare to come by, so I was left wondering how redmi note 7 did not appear on the list given by safaricom whereas on GSM arena clearly shows that it supports it.
I went deep on research and this is how I was able to finally enable it.
- Dial # #4636## a long list of phone parameters pops up but pale chini utaona volte provisioned turned off, it’s grayed and you are not able to toggle it off or on.
- Dial ##869434## followed by ##86583## you should see a flash text indicating “disabled” on both instances.
- Dial ##4636## again volte provisioned should now be on and you are able to switch it on and off.
- Finally go to your simcard and network settings and among other things you should see volte settings you can tweak them to your liking.
Nb I tested this on Rn7 and am assuming it can work across all devices supported and also I used safaricom line will try airtel to see if it stands, faiba haiko mahali niko.
Try testing on your devices and report findings
