Three VoLTE & Unlocked S7 Edge

As per thread title.

Unrooted, stock Galaxy S7 Edge with latest available firmware.

Under Settings -> Mobile Networks I have a VoLTE Call switch which is on, and network mode set to Auto (LTE/3G/2G).

Weirdly, when I'm at home which is definitely within a Three 4G coverage area (with, allegedly, support for VoLTE or "4G Super Voice" as they're calling it), if I reboot
the phone, a VoLTE icon appears for a short while in the notification bar and then disappears.

Three's webpage talks about S7 Edge users needing to get an update, but their instructions just direct people to do the standard android check for updates, of which
there don't seem to be any newer ones. So clearly, the phone IS working with their VoLTE support but other than the Icon's brief appearance, there's no way to tell
if it's actually working.

Oddly, friends of mine with S7 Edge's bought around the same time and on EXACTLY the same firmware (build, kernel etc.) don't have that VoLTE option at all.

Any thoughts?
