Hi @Gustav_ASUS I noticed in that fota update .98 you added support for VoLTE for an Indian carrier, what’s the reason you can’t do this for the Australian ones ?

Asus just too lazy to implement VOLTE here in Australia. They simply don't care..

Long story short, VoLTE has to be negotiated and approved for each carrier and model. In some cases, this can be a time-consuming process and will differ between countries and carriers. It's also a question of market size, which is why you will see some budget brands with VoLTE support. (Since they sell a bunch of cheap phones.)

I’m hoping that’s not the case and @Gustav_ASUS has put the gloves on and is knocking some heads in marketing and development for us 😄😄😄😄😂

Doubt it. The fact is, the ROG 3, like the ROG 2, there simply isn't enough handsets sold here to justify adding support. Speaking to a friend of mine in JB Hifi, they've sold around 35 handsets Aus wide to date... so. umm. yeah......

Hopefully VoLTE can still be added. I doubt adding VoLTE has anything to do with sales of the phone, it's literally a few settings added to qualcomm modem and ROM. It's probably more a case of something not thought about. Do the JB Version come with WW Rom or a local variant? If JB is selling phones without VoLTE (especially to the market that is likely to buy a ROG) they would see 99% returned I imagine.
