   To be fair, there are a number of smart phones (not just ancient   
   flip-phones) which are branded "4G LTE", but do not support VoLTE --   
   only 4G data.  I would bet that there are a number of these still   
   working, with networks attempting to push the users to a new phone.   
      
   Take for instance the iPhone (since I used to work for Apple Care tech   
   support)... The iPhone 6 was the first to support VoLTE.  You could have   
   a fairly new perfectly-capable iPhone 5s, released 2013 (and still sold   
   up until recent years)... but it doesn't support VoLTE.  Oops.
