Is this really not possible? I have bought a small Linux based PC with this modem in it, and I really want to use VoLTE as 3G is being shut down soon.
The release notes for R4 say it's technically possible but commercial users shouldn't do it. But what about end users? May I do this myself, or will the IMEI be blocked if I do?
In any case, thank you for making such nice products.
Hello,
If it's technically possible according to the documentation the module will generally work after such an operation. But this note about the commercial users might mean that there may be some small differences between the factory release 4 and updated one, for example some new feature may not work.

Thank you. Is it possible that the issue is the IMEI will not change, and thus report it as not supporting VoLTE still? Although then I would think the PLS8-E would have the same warning, and it doesn't. The manufacturer of my device says ***** ask his contact with Thales about it, so maybe that will help.
Hello,
IMEI is assigned in the factory and it is supposed to be a unique mobile device identity. It will not be changed in any firmware update procedure.
