Volte for Australian carriers (not good news)

I received an email back from ASUS Australia regarding VoLTE for Australian carriers. Reads as follows:
"They have advised that at this stage no VoLTE scheduled for certification, we are pushing to have telco's test and approve on future phones. Until these newer devices come in and are certified, VoLTE will not be available for ROG Phone 2 and 3. Feedback has been noted and will be relooked at for future certification to see if these models can be tested, updated, and certified as well, no ETA on schedule".
This should be made know to anyone looking to purchase ROG3 in Australia. Personally I will add settings myself, but absolutely amateur of ASUS to make a flagship phone with no VoLTE support and sell it in Australia without pointing that out. Hopefully anyone thinking of purchasing an ASUS phone will search and find this.
Cheers

Yeah it’s a bummer for sure but to be honest I put my regular sim in the phone for a while and didn’t have any voice call quality issues however it sucks cause it knocks out 4g when you have a call and drops it to 3G or H+ that’s what I don’t like about not having VoLTE

cheers

I'd give it a miss if you have not purchased yet. I get the feeling they are just going to pump out phones, without ongoing support. I have started to get dust under the wide angle lens camera, didn't expect that after 2 weeks use tbh. Call quality is ok, because Australia still has a solid 3g network, but try and use the internet while on the phone.... Probably a great phone if you sit inside and play Android games all day, but real world use (it's my work phone), this phone is not going to last. The third version of a phone should have most issues sorted, however it looks like the same problems just get carried over to each new phone.

Yeah understandable I just use mine for gaming for me it’s too big for a daily use phone I’m picking up an iPhone 12 pro just the small one not the max when I get out of quarantine.
