Wifi Calling

UFOs, new tech, it all goes in here. Have you tried switching it off and back on ?

Wifi Calling

Postby Stooo » Sun Jul 21, 2019 2:38 pm

I noticed that a new icon appeared on my phone last week, EE Wifi calling but I didn't give it much thought until today.

I looked into it and it appears that while I'm connected to a wifi source, my calls are sent through the router rather than the closest cell tower. With the thickness of my walls, this is an obvious advantage for me as I don't have to go outside in all weathers to chat with my friends.

It's not always enabled on Android phones so you may need to muck around in the settings, I've got a Nokia and they're pretty good for upgrading new features like this but it's best to check.

The four major networks have it, most of the piggyback cheap 'uns like mine (Tesco) don't.

From O2 - but you don't get 02 perks. You do get Tesco card points though and they are doubled if used to pay your mobile bill. :smilin:

O2 is the only network that works well round here.
