Australia Z Flip 4 - VOLTE setting missing

Some devices now may not have or need a specific setting for VoLTE. It's ON and that's it. Especially given that many carriers have now ceased their 2G and 3G networks. If you have 4G/LTE and 5G only service, if you didn't have VoLTE you wouldn't be able to do phone calls.

There's a YouTube channel in Australia called SMOOREZ who regulary reviews cheap phones. And it seems now if a phone doesn't have at least 4G/LTE in Australia it can't receive carrier service. So apparently Aus carriers have ceeased their 2G/GSM and 3G/UMTS networks completely now. So it probably is that newer Aus version phones might not have or need VoLTE options in their Mobile Networks settings.

My Galaxy A14 5G only has setting for 'wifi calling'. Nothing for HD Voice or switching from 5G to LTE to older networks. I think it's all automatic now. the last smartphone I know that had the setting was my Galaxy S5, where under settings-->connections-->mobile networks it had a toggle for 'Advanced Calling' which was VoLTE compatibility, but that was 2014.

In the U.S., you can still put an active SIM into something that's at least 4G LTE like a Galaxy SII Skyrocket, LG Lucid 3, or LG G2 and you can still do SMS/MMS, data, email, but phone calls fail (they just sit there 'dialing...' until they give up)
