  VoLTE stands for "Voice over LTE." VoLTE allows you to make voice and video calls over LTE. VoLTE lets you browse the web or use apps while you're on a call, and it makes your voice and video calls higher quality.

  If your phone has VoLTE enabled and it doesn't work, you can try asking your carrier to reprovision your SIM card. If they won't or that doesn't fix the problem, your carrier might not support VoLTE at all, in which case you won't be able to use it unless you switch carriers.
