Pixel 6a - 4G Calling Support?

[pgn]

When will the Pixel 6a be supported for 4G calling, needed since start of 2023 for voice calls when roaming in the USA?

From 2023, you’ll be unable to use your UK mobile phone to make regular calls when visiting the USA because of changes to their mobile networks. However, you’ll be able to use your phone to make calls using the 4G network – provided you have a compatible phone.

Supported phone models list shows:

4G Calling Device List - Google Pixel 5, Pixel 4a, Pixel 4, Pixel 4XL, Pixel 3a

Also the O2-provided IMEI check tool on the page above reports:

Come on, O2 - your own O2 Shop offers the Pixel 6a, and above, so why does your Roaming Service and relevant support pages not mention it, in fact tells you "Sorry, dude, voice calling from the USA not alowed".

4g and wifi calling go hand in hand and are native to android OS.

All phones sold by O2 now support wifi calling, therefore, alll work with 4g calling.

Most likely just more out of date mis information on the website/app.

Wifi and 4G Calling

No signal? No problem, with Wifi Calling. Whether you’re at home, in a coffee shop or at the office, if you’re having a signal problem, you can use wifi to call as normal. And 4G Calling lets you make calls over 4G, meaning clearer calls.

With Wifi and 4G Calling you’ll move seamlessly between wifi and 4G network coverage to continue your call. And you can still check your social media or send an email while you’re on the phone.

All the 4G and 5G devices we stock now support 4G and Wifi Calling.

Yes, thanks @MI5: even the page you link to above adds to the confusion in the FAQ section...

The comment about O2 Travel is bunkum, and no mention of Travel Inclusive (eg for USA) or that Roaming in O2's Europe Zone (EU and FTA) Countries is included by default.

Not at the races in several areas ...

Wifi calling not available abroad but it's 4g calling that's required which does work abroad.

It'll take years for the website o be updated too.

Just a little bump on this one, for @Breanna or @Martin-O2, as the O2 official https://www.o2.co.uk/help/network-coverage-and-international/travelling-to-the-usa link still insists  that the Google Pixel 6a I bought last December "is not compatible with 4G Calling abroad"!
