Lg Stylo 2 plus not video calling galaxy s7 edge?

[Bubblegum Boop]

I thought all Androids with the video calling feature can videochat. My mom has the galaxy s7 edge and I have the Stylo 2 Plus. When attempting to video chat it says both of our phones are unable to videochat at this time. I already went into settings and turned on the voLte button. Still no dice. Any suggestions?

Are you in the US? Apparently im the US carriers create artificial restrictions on the built in video calling feature on Android. Are you both on the same network?

Yes I'm in the US and my mom is on Verizon and im on Metro PCS which is an extention of T Mobile's network.

That's probably the problem. Just get a video chat app for both phones, like Allo or Whatsapp.
