Note: For 4G network support and VoLTE HD calling, please contact the local service provider for more information."

I'm using this phone ZB602KL. Apparently I've gotten VoLTE working after installing this Magisk module, but I don't know how to test it.

Calling TPG support (126300) gave me the "We cannot connect your call, please try calling this number using WhatsApp" message, so it's probably not working?

Calls to other telecom numbers not working yet, right? How should I test VoLTE like this ah?

Network coverage is very bad. At my desk got n/w. In meeting room no network. I am going to put these TPG Sims in the drawer for now. Until circles.life stops their promo.

I have this feeling TPG support 2 bands 900/2300 but my phone works only on one of those bands which is why signal is so bad for me. In my house no reception. Near lakeside MRT have reception,but as I walk away from MRT no reception.

That is the Flexi plan Circles.Life says will stay in their website and I will say it is not a promotion.

https://pages.circles.life/flexiplan/

It is perfect as a backup number. I just got one for my back up phone, an iPhone 6S.

I agree, however, they could easily change its terms and conditions to make people spend something. Like maybe they reduce the free data to 500mb instead of 1gb or something. Currently the Flexi plan is perfect for me and is my main sim.

Just now tested with my wife's phone Mi A1. The data reception is very good in my house, while my RMN4X no reception. So confirmed, my phone one of the band may be disabled while the other is enabled and it picks up signal only in some places.

Any thoughts on how to fix this?

Also to add, with Mi A1, I enabled VoLTE , but when I called a mobile, it gave the message to call using WhatsApp.

This is my Network signal guru screenshot with circles and with TPG. Can anybody make anything out of this?

It seems B40 is enabled on my phone and it is connecting to it. So may be the other band 900Mhz is strong and my phone don't support?

Yes it seems the RMN4X Snapdragon China doesn't support band8(900MHz) The MTK version supports this. Also Mi A1 supports it. I should have bought MTK like you, LohSengLTE :(

Hmm first time I seen someone want a mediatek chipset instead of a Qualcomm
:s13:

I think the weaker band 8 is something TPG Should fix when if they want to sell their service.

B40 seems to be the weaker band. B8 is the stronger band.
