i have a new iphone 16 with a recent update to IOS 26. Since acquiring this phone i will constantly have a call dropped during a conversation. There is also a significant delay in connecting upon making an outgoing call.
i had neither problem with PM on my previous Iphone XR.

From your experience, looks like VoLTE is not working, but it should be.
Maybe try a reboot of your phone. Network reset of phone.
Instead of Auto network selection. Try to select LTE network to try calling (instead of 5G or Auto).
