In theory, any phone with the right hardware for a carrier’s cellular frequencies should be able to use VoLTE, and any capable phone with a supporting plan should get VoWiFi. The reality, however, is more complex. Many carriers only permit VoLTE and VoWiFi on devices they sell or have officially tested. This means that even if your imported Pixel has the necessary hardware, the carrier can still block these features, potentially preventing you from making voice calls entirely.

This bit?
I guess I still don’t understand. Maybe I’m too foss-brained. I mean if it, works, and it’s been proven to work, why go out of your way to block it? Ofc, maybe I’m giving them too much credit for actually thinking and being logical.
Why block it in the first place? :s
They talk about it in the article.
So, greed.
A mixture of greed and laziness yes. They’d rather you just bought from them.
This is typically the answer to problems these days. Rich fucks who want more than they can use before others are allowed to have enough just to be.
This is Bs. We didn’t needcarriers approval for voice on 3G and below.
