So it is officially now working?

There is no specific way of making calls through VoLTE, just make calls like you always do. If the requirements are met, you will be making calls over VolLTE.

Digi is now also heavily advertising that their network is 4G PLUS (aka LTE-A), this webpage used to only mention 4G, now everything is replaced with 4G PLUS.

LTE-A is a more advanced version of the current LTE. It allows two cell tower to work together to help increase your download speed and ease congestion on a single tower. Opting for a LTE device is fine if you are already getting great speeds. Currently all 3 major telco are offering LTE-A but only Digi is making a huge push for it. So far, Digi has the widest LTE-A network.

Not all LTE devices are compatible with VoLTE, for example, iPhone 5s does not support it.

EDIT: I just checked, the iPhone 5s has ter hardware required for VoLTE, but for some reason Apple has decided not to enable it for the 5s.

It is now official, Digi is now officially starting VoLTE to all iPhones starting from the 6 and newer. Support for other phones are coming. No date given.

Here is a link to Digi's page.

It's main purpose is to improve audio quality dramatically and allow more more advanced features like better noise cancellation.

Right now iPhone 6 and above have VoLTE support. The 5s has the hardware required to do it but Apple has decided not to enable it. Digi is unable to enable VoLTE for other devices right now because VoLTE unlike LTE, requires carrier and manufacture certification and testing for it to work. The reason iPhone was chosen is probably because iPhone does not have so many variations and has a unified system for pushing these updates required to enable it. Plus, it is probably one of the more popular devices too. Android, as much as I don't like to say it, is very fragmented. Digi is probably gonna target the most popular android phones for now which are probably Samsung's S-series and Note series.

The official word from Digi is that VoLTE does not count against your monthly internet quota.

OH YES PLEASE! Any chance that you can give an estimated timeline? Btw, can I ask why does Digi not display 4G+ when connected to LTE-A when Maxis and Celcom does. I talking about the S7 Edge.

I know I am connected to LTE-A as I checked through the phone hidden menu. Plus, look at my signature, it is over 100mbps. Any theories behind why this is?

I asked before ady, Maxis and Celcom both show the 4G+ sign, but never Digi

No, they do not have VoLTE yet. Only Digi has.

Dgi for some reason does not show the 4G+ symbol. Enter *#0011# in your dailer and select Stack 1. Screenshot and show us if you are connected to LTE-A.

Yes this is LTE-A, notice how you are connected to two base stations? One is band 3, the other one is band 7.

I think you can.
