Android: Turn VoLTE Calls On or Off

If calls sound muffled or take several seconds to connect, your phone might still be falling back to an older 2G or 3G connection instead of using the 4G network. This happens when VoLTE is switched off or was never activated after a SIM swap or factory reset. Voice quality, call setup speed and even battery life depend on this single toggle.

Turn VoLTE Calls On or Off auf Android

Without VoLTE, an Android phone routes voice calls through the older 2G or 3G network, even when a 4G connection is active for data. That fallback explains choppy audio, slow call setup and extra battery drain, since the modem has to switch between radio types.

VoLTE (Voice over LTE) keeps calls on the same 4G network as your data connection. Setup is faster, audio quality improves noticeably, and the modem no longer has to jump between network types mid-call.

Where to enable or disable VoLTE

Open Tap on SettingsTap on Network & internetTap on SIMsChoose a SIM card (Dual SIM)Enable or disable VoLTE.

On dual-SIM devices, the toggle applies per SIM card, so check both slots if only one line has the problem. If the option is missing entirely, your carrier has not activated VoLTE for that SIM, and no setting on the phone will unlock it.

Turn VoLTE off only if you are troubleshooting a network issue or your carrier explicitly asks you to, since disabling it forces calls back onto 2G or 3G with weaker quality.

Frequently asked questions

This usually means your carrier has not enabled VoLTE for your SIM or plan. Contact your carrier to confirm activation, since the toggle under Tap on SettingsTap on Network & internetTap on SIMs only appears once the network supports it.
