I came across this on youtube. I used a short cut app on my V20 unlocked to get wifi calling because apparently tmobile didn't allow it on the unlocked version. There was some debate if it actually unlocked it or not though.

However on the Note 8 in this video he has the wifi calling feature enabled on his unlocked note 8 as you can see the icon. He said wifi calling didn't work with his carrier until he manually switched it on since it's hidden.

Did nothing for me. At the final step, says no CSC items found. No switches. App only wants to put shortcuts on my home screen and has lots of full-screen pop up ads.

Uninstalled immediately.

For Verizon WiFi calling is a Verizon feature not a Samsung feature. Advance calling is added by Verizon.
 
There was a thread around here where someone stated a code to enter in the dialer that would brimg up this menu which I'm assuming is all this app is doing. But many were still unsuccessful at enabling these features for some carriers. I tried it on my unlocked device on AT&T and it did not work.
