Vodafone announced WiFi calling is now available on my payg Samsung S8 and it's turned on in my account. But the option is not showing up in the settings on the phone, a Samsung S8 running Android 9. Any ideas? Network mode is set to 2G/3G/4G auto connect. This is the only option with 4G. No 4GLTE. VoLTE calls is on.

Well if that's the case that's certainly a welcome addition for payg users especially as the Sure Signal devices have been fazed out.
I would suggest to speak with Live Chat or call customer services on 191 and ask them to send an OTA configuration.
Some further possible help.

Tried the other networks but the construction of my house is passive with foil fronted breather membrane wrap on walls that are 470mm thick and triple glazed, so I have 5 bars full signal outside but near zilch inside. O2 same, EE ditto. Didn't bother with 3 as the result would be the same, so very pleased to have WiFi calling. Yes you can get the microcell boosters, but they don't have the range to cover it all as its a large U shape. Thanks for the tip, it may have been that won the day.
