OnePlus rolling out VoLTE support as Rogers sunsets 3G

There’s been a lot of confusion regarding Rogers’ 3G shutdown, and OnePlus recently published a blog post detailing what phones from the company will work once 3G goes away.

OnePlus says the following phones will work on all the networks, including Rogers. However, I will say that I’ve gotten a few emails from OnePlus users on Rogers who are still having issues with the carrier. Ideally, now that OnePlus has posted this, things will change.

• OnePlus 13
• OnePlus 13R
• OnePlus 12
• OnePlus 12R
• OnePlus Open
• OnePlus 11
• OnePlus 10 Pro
• OnePlus 10T
• OnePlus Nord N30

OnePlus says that once you have the update, you can go into your settings and check out your ‘About Device’ section. From there, go into Status >SIM card>IMS Registration>Registered. In this section, you can check to see if you have support for VoLTE.

When making calls, you should also see the VoLTE icon instead of a 3G symbol along the top of your phone.

Overall, the 3G shutdown in Canada has begun with Rogers, which shows that there are likely to be many major hurdles as the other carriers bring their networks offline. From what we’ve gathered, both your phone and your carrier must support the same type of calling over LTE. There are many forms of this all over the world, so even phones that are the same, but from different regions of the world, might not work on the same networks.
