iphone 11 and volte in australia

Recently purchased a refurbished iPhone 11 but it has no VoLTE selection available in settings. The phone will not be able to make calls after August 31 when 3g is phased out completely. My local service provider (Telstra) and Apple Support have both informed me that I need to update the phone to either iPhone SE or iPhone 12 or later model. Has anyone else had this issue in Australia?

Why does my original iPhone SE not support VoLTE? Supposedly all iPhones starting with the 6 support VoLTE. The SE came out after the 6 and so should support VoLTE. When AT&T announced a couple of years ago that it would be requiring VoLTE for voice, I thought I'd be ok. But since AT&T implemented a requirement of VoLTE for cellular in my area, I cannot use my SE. (I tried reinitializing network settings but that made no difference.) In network data settings, there are options to choose 4g, 3g, and 2g, but no LTE or VoLTE options. At the top of my screen, it says I have a 4g connection. My iPhone 12 Mini gives me 5g and LTE options, and also a VoLTE option. When connected to AT&T, at the top of my screen it says "LTE" and I can make voice calls over AT&T. So, should my SE be working with VoLTE or was the "6 or later" info incorrect?

No menu option in 18.2 to enable VoLTE iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 18.2. Sim on Vodafone network. When I take a call, I lose all mobile data, I'd like to have internet access when on a call. From searching, there should be an option to turn it on in settings, however, it is not there: Mobile Data > Voice & Data > no option to turn on VoLTE Does that settings menu dynamically change somehow based on data coming from the carrier? I've got a support ticket open with them, but it's unclear where the issue is - with apple or them. Help appreciated!

My wife purchased a supposed brand new iphone 11 on ebay 2 months ago and it also has no Volte ability. She took it to a Telstra shop and they told her it was useless and she would need to buy a another phone.
