    A carrier from India is not listed yet:

    Whether you can use VoLTE depends on a few things:

    • Your location, your account with your carrier, and the model of your phone
    • The carrier, carrier account, location, and phone model of the person you're speaking with on the call

    Some carriers support VoLTE only in certain cities or area codes. Contact your carrier to ask about your area and account. These carriers support VoLTE:

    • Australia: Telstra
    • Canada: Rogers
    • China: China Mobile
    • France: Bouygues Telecom
    • Germany: O2, Vodafone
    • Hong Kong: 3, China Mobile, CSL, PCCW, SmarTone
    • Italy: Vodafone
    • Japan: DoCoMo, SoftBank, KDDI
    • Singapore: M1, Singtel, StarHub
    • South Korea: LGU+, SK Telecom, Olleh
    • Spain: Vodafone
    • Switzerland: Swisscom
    • Thailand: DTAC
    • United States: AT&T, T-Mobile USA, Verizon

    I have tested Reliance Jio network SIM with iPhone 6 and VOLTE is working with iPhone 6.

    I would like to know if there is any  difference between 5s & 6 wrt VOLTE functionality

     

     

    PS: both 5s & 6 are operating with iOS 9.2.1 version

    The article Make calls using Voice over LTE (VoLTE) - Apple Support mentions, that  VoLTE calls can only be made by an iPhone 6 or later model.

     

    You can make wideband, high-quality phone calls with VoLTE on your iPhone 6 or later. To make these calls, both phones need to work with VoLTE.

    It is up to the Reliance Jio to contact Apple to resolve this matter. Not all wireless providers in

    all countries are approved on all protocols or bands.

    I believe iphone 5s hardware does support voLTE but there is a restriction from Apple in India. same phone is working with verizons and other such service provider outside India. I am not sure why Apple can't open it for india?
