    GrapheneOS is the way to go with a Pixel phone. Wifi calling works just fine on my Pixel 8. As does VoLTE.

      I don’t believe they support the 3a. I’m really vintage.

        Any idea how long support will last for the 8?

        Google Pixel 8 October 2030 7 years

          Great link, thank you. I’m so used to desperately trying to make this old 3a work that I didn’t realize they’d listed out support expectations for more recent models.

            I believe the Pixel 9a is also available now as well. You might snag that one instead of an 8a just to give yourself another year of support.
