Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide an apparatus and techniques for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE), such as placing a video telephony (VT) call when a user equipment (UE) is camped on a non-Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network, such as a non-IMS Long Term Evolution (LTE) network. The UE may be in a coverage area of a first radio access technology (RAT) supported by a first standard, and in a coverage area of a second RAT supported by a second standard. The UE may determine the LTE network does not support IMS services. In response to the determination, the UE may take one or more actions to place a VT call using the second RAT which supports IMS services.
