“Look like the unlocked version of the Galaxy S8 doesn't work with AT&T Wifi calling, HD Voice and Video Call. AT&T tech support is telling me to buy an AT&T Version (of course) and Best Buy is not aware of the issue. Anyone else facing that issue ?”

I am on Sprint and switched from S6 Edge which was Sprint version to S8 Unlocked. As soon account has been updated to new unlocked S8 - WiFi calling feature "disappeared" from my account ( as well as there is no icon on S8 Settings menu as it used to be on S6 Edge). However, by "pocking" around phone settings I found and successfully tested WiFi calling feature- try and see if this will work for you as well. Make sure you are connected to WiFi network. Touch Phone icon ( as you are going to make a call), touch Menu at the top upper corner ( three dots) - choose "Settings". Scroll down to the "WiFi calling", turn it ON. Go through the simple setup ( your address, etc.) Make your WiFi call to see if it works for you as it worked for me. Let me know. I used WiFi calling very often in the past with S6 Edge when I was on trips overseas and it is a deal breaker for me. Have not tested it outside of US yet but considering that WiFi calls I made as a test here, worked - I would be surprised for this feature not to work outside of US.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, I needed the Wi Fi calling because of living pretty far away from the street, and I was told by AT&T that Wi Fi calling doesn't come with a Go Phone. I had my own phone, Galaxy 5. Maybe if you buy a new phone directly from them, they may, I don't know. Just not willing to pay their price, and I don't want any of the old ones that they sell for Go Phones. They have the plans, but they really don't want you to go that route. One of these days, I'm going to change companies. I fought with Verizon for years, though. Hard decisions to make. I've had it with AT&T now for a couple of years.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I recently purchased the s8+ unlocked phone (verizon) and no where is there the ability for hd voice or Wi-Fi calling.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I was about to buy the unlocked version too, I found multiple sources that say that the features you mentioned will not work with AT&T or Verizon if I'm not mistaken. That unfortunately was a deal breaker for me.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Try using GOOGLE DUO. That is the ONLY thing that helped me since the wifi calling did not appear on my phone as an option to enable.
