If your Xiaomi, Redmi, or POCO phone drops to 2G/3G during calls, shows "Can't use VoLTE", or the VoLTE option is missing or greyed out on DNA Finland, this guide covers common troubleshooting steps. This issue can affect both 4G and 5G connections, and is particularly important now as Finland's 3G networks have been fully shut down.
Before You Start – Quick Checks
- Check your device compatibility – DNA supports VoLTE on most modern 4G/5G devices. However, some imported Xiaomi variants (e.g., China or India models) may have limited compatibility.
- Check your plan – DNA offers 4G calling (VoLTE) for compatible devices and subscriptions. Support can vary by provider, including MVNOs.
- Ensure LTE/4G access is available – VoLTE normally relies on the carrier's IMS voice configuration and LTE access. Make sure your selected network mode allows the phone to connect to LTE/4G.
- Toggle Airplane Mode – Turn on briefly, then off to refresh network registration.
- Restart your phone – Clears temporary software glitches affecting IMS registration.
If these quick checks don't work, continue with the step-by-step guide below.

Diagnose the Issue First
Before making changes, determine the pattern of your VoLTE issue:
- Is the option missing entirely? – The VoLTE toggle does not appear in your SIM settings.
- Is the option visible but calls drop to 2G/3G? – The toggle is on, but during calls the network indicator changes from 4G/5G to 2G/3G.
- Does the phone have signal but no VoLTE? – The phone may still show 4G, but calls may not use VoLTE.
- Did it work before? – Did this issue start after a system update, SIM swap, or traveling abroad?
Why This Happens
- Device compatibility with DNA – DNA supports VoLTE on compatible 4G/5G devices. However, some Xiaomi models or regional variants (e.g., India or China versions) may not be fully compatible.
- IMS registration failure – VoLTE requires IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) registration. If IMS is not registered, VoLTE won't work.
- Xiaomi carrier check – Xiaomi's VoLTE carrier check may block the feature, even when the network supports it.
- Plan restrictions – DNA offers 4G calling (VoLTE) for compatible devices and subscriptions. Support can vary by provider, including MVNOs.
- Software or configuration issues – Incorrect network settings or outdated system software can prevent VoLTE from working.
- 3G shutdown – Finland's 3G networks have been shut down. VoLTE is required for reliable calling on 4G/5G networks.
Quick Diagnostic Table
- VoLTE option missing → Device compatibility, carrier provisioning, Xiaomi carrier check, or plan/provider support
- Option visible but not working → IMS registration, network coverage, or software configuration
- Works on other phones but not on Xiaomi → Xiaomi-specific carrier check or device compatibility
- VoLTE is unavailable after reboot → Possible registration, carrier-configuration, or device software issue
Check DNA VoLTE Support
Before troubleshooting your device, verify that your DNA plan and phone are compatible:
- DNA VoLTE (4G-puhelut) – DNA offers 4G calling (VoLTE) for compatible devices and subscriptions.
- MVNO plans – VoLTE support can vary between providers, including MVNOs that use another operator's network. Check your provider's current service information.
- 3G shutdown – Finland's 3G networks are now shut down. VoLTE is necessary for calls on 4G/5G networks.
- Device compatibility list – DNA supports VoLTE on most modern 4G/5G devices, but compatibility can vary by model and firmware version.
Important: Carrier Check
- If your Xiaomi model is not on DNA's compatibility list for VoLTE, the feature may not work even if you enable it in settings.
- Contact DNA directly to confirm whether your specific device model is supported for 4G-puhelut.
Step 1: Test SIM in Another Phone
Why this matters: This is the quickest way to determine if the issue is your Xiaomi device or your SIM/plan.
- Insert your DNA SIM into another phone that supports VoLTE.
- Make a test call and check whether the phone falls back to a legacy network. The exact VoLTE or IMS status indicator varies by device.
- If VoLTE works normally on the other phone, the issue is more likely related to your Xiaomi device or its configuration – continue with the steps below.
- If VoLTE also doesn't work on the other phone, the problem is more likely related to your SIM, plan, or carrier provisioning – contact DNA.
Step 2: Enable VoLTE in Settings
Why this matters: VoLTE must be explicitly enabled on your Xiaomi device.
- Settings → SIM cards & mobile networks
- Tap your DNA SIM
- Look for VoLTE, Use VoLTE, or 4G Calling and toggle it ON.
If the option is not visible:
- Your Xiaomi model may not support VoLTE on DNA, or the VoLTE carrier check may be blocking it.
- Try the hidden diagnostic code in Step 3.
If the option is enabled but VoLTE still doesn't work, move to Step 3.
Step 3: Check VoLTE with the Hidden Xiaomi Code
Why this matters: Xiaomi devices have a hidden diagnostic code that can toggle the VoLTE carrier check. In some cases, this check blocks VoLTE even when the network supports it.
- Open the Phone app
- Dial *#*#86583#*#*
- If supported, the phone may display a message indicating that the VoLTE carrier check has been disabled.
- This may enable the VoLTE option if it was previously hidden.
- Restart your phone and check if VoLTE works.
Note: This code toggles the carrier check on and off. Dialing it again will re-enable the check. The code may not work on all Xiaomi devices or ROM versions.
If VoLTE still doesn't work, move to Step 4.
Step 4: Check Preferred Network Mode
Why this matters: Your phone must be able to use the carrier's supported IMS voice configuration. Make sure the selected network mode includes LTE/4G.
- Settings → SIM cards & mobile networks
- Tap your DNA SIM
- Tap Preferred network type
- Make sure your phone is allowed to connect to LTE/4G. Depending on your Xiaomi model, choose a preferred network mode that includes LTE or 4G. Examples may include:
- 5G/4G/3G/2G (Auto)
- Prefer 5G
- Prefer 4G
- LTE/3G/2G
- Avoid forcing the phone into 2G-only or another mode that prevents LTE connectivity.
- Wait 30 seconds and check if VoLTE works.
If VoLTE still doesn't work, move to Step 5.
Step 5: Check IMS Registration Status (If Available)
Why this matters: The IMS status can provide diagnostic information about whether the phone is registered for IMS voice services, although the available information varies by device and software version.
- Open the Phone app
- Dial *#*#4636#*#*
- Select Phone information
- Tap the three dots in the top right corner
- Select IMS Service Status (if available)
- If the menu is available and shows IMS or VoLTE as unavailable or not registered, this can indicate a registration or provisioning problem, but the diagnostic menu alone does not identify the exact cause.
If IMS shows "Not available" or "Not registered":
- Try toggling Airplane Mode on and off to re-register.
- Try toggling VoLTE off and on in Settings while on LTE.
Note: The IMS Service Status menu is not available on every Xiaomi model or HyperOS/MIUI version. If the menu is not available, proceed to Step 6.
If IMS registration fails, move to Step 6.
Step 6: Reset Network Settings
Why this matters: This resets Wi-Fi, mobile data, and Bluetooth settings without deleting personal data. It clears corrupted network configurations that may be preventing IMS registration.
- Settings → Connection & sharing (HyperOS) or Settings → Additional settings → Backup & reset (MIUI)
- Select Reset Wi-Fi, mobile & Bluetooth or Reset network settings
- Confirm the reset
- Restart your phone
- Wait a few minutes for the phone to reconnect to the network
- Re-enable VoLTE in Settings
- Check if VoLTE works.
If VoLTE still doesn't work, move to Step 7.
Step 7: Check for System Updates
Why this matters: Software updates often include modem firmware and IMS improvements that can enable or improve VoLTE.
- Settings → About phone → Check for updates
- Install any available updates.
- Restart your phone and check if VoLTE works.
If you're already on the latest version and VoLTE still doesn't work, contact DNA or Xiaomi support.
Decision Box – What to Do Next?
Still not working? Let's narrow it down:
- ✓ SIM has no VoLTE in another phone? → Contact DNA (plan or provisioning issue).
- ✓ SIM works elsewhere but not on your Xiaomi? → Device-specific issue (continue troubleshooting above).
- ✓ VoLTE option is missing? → Check device compatibility with DNA, try the hidden diagnostic toggle (Step 3), or check if your device is an imported variant.
- ✓ VoLTE is unavailable after reboot? → Toggle Airplane mode once after reboot. If VoLTE returns, the issue may be related to network registration or carrier/device configuration.
- ✓ Nothing works? → Contact DNA to check account provisioning and device compatibility.
