Calls not working on my phone with Volte activated (Data works fine)
Hi everyone,
I’m looking for some technical advice regarding my Tecno Pova 7 Pro 5G on the Smarty network.
Since earlier this week, I have been unable to make or receive any phone calls. When I try to dial, I get a "Mobile network not available" error. However, my 4G/5G data is working perfectly at full speed.
I’ve already tried the following troubleshooting steps:
Performed a network reset.
Verified APN settings are correct (mob.asm.net).
Used the *#*#86583#*#* code to disable the VoLTE carrier check.
The "VoLTE Provisioned" flag is active in the *#*#4636#*#* menu.
Tested the SIM in another phone (it works fine there).
It seems my device is struggling to register for IMS/VoLTE on the Three/Smarty infrastructure now that 3G is being phased out in my area. Even though the hardware is fully 5G/VoLTE capable, it isn't "handshaking" correctly with the network for voice services.
Has anyone managed to get a Tecno device successfully registered on Smarty's VoLTE? Or is there a way for a moderator to "refresh" the VoLTE flag on my account/IMEI to see if it forces a registration?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I’d love to stay with Smarty!

Thanks, I've already contacted them, once they reply I will give them my IMEI so they can manually whitelist my phone as I didn't buy it in the UK could explain why is not doing the handshake
