Zenfone 10 doesn't connect incoming or outgoing calls
Have a new to me zenfone 10 which I've been happy with until discovering that I can't get calling to work. From what research I've done, others have had issues with carriers not automatically activating VoLTE capabilities. I do not care whatsoever if the calls are made via VoLTE or by more rudimentary methods - I just want to make calls. I'm wondering if there are specific routes I can take through my settings or by perhaps switching carriers (currently with Public Mobile - Canada) that have proven successful for others.
I've seen people mention third part apps like shizuku (which is not available for the latest android update) but again, the focus seems to be on VoLTE activation.
I've been through the frontline troubleshooting methods that Google spits out but no luck. Initial contact with Public Mobile customer support told me that the Zenfone 10 VoLTE is not compatible with Public's VoLTE.
Would love someone to tell me I haven't hit a dead end here.
