Zenfone 8 & 8 Flip with global carrier Telenor not working with 5G, VoLTE or VoWiFi still

Dear Asus,
Your Zenfone 8 and Zenfone 8 flip is sold all over the Nordic countries (Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark) but you have not yet certified it against the largest Carrier (Telenor / www.telenor.se, www.telenor.no, www.telenor.dk, www.telenor.fi) for 5G, VoLTE and VoWiFi. When looking in the settings of the phone there is no menu for VoLTE or VoWiFi and if you switch on 5G it does no longer work to send or receive SMS and MMS. This leaves your flagship phone and its users in a crippled mode.
However the Zenfone 8 and Zenfone 8 flip works with the carriers Tele2/Comviq www.tele2.se and Telia www.telia.se.
When will you certify the phone for Telenor and provide a software update to support 5G, VoLTE and VoWiFi for all users on this carrier network? The functions have been available with Telenor for more than 2 years now and they work fine with Huawei and Samsung to name a few competitors.
We are many proud Asus users of Zenfone (and your other products) who want this to work also with Telenor (they have some 200 million subscribers worldwide).
Please provide a solid answer and timeline please.

What I can say right now is that we are working on it with Telenor. I don't have a timeline to share at this moment, but it's being worked on.

Ok. Thank you for a quick reply. If not a timeline, do you have a guesstimate based on similar situations? Do you believe it to be reasonable to think that this situation is fixed prior December?

It's hard to give a guesstimate, it really varies a lot between different operators, countries and models. Our goal is to get it up and running as soon as possible.
