    Do you have a Blackberry data plan?

    the person you're calling has to be running bbm7 too. Are they?

    O2 will charge for using the hotspot if you don't have the correct add-on or they may even be blocking it.

    Just so we're clear wifi calling only works from BBM7 user to BBM 7 user when on wifi (sorry if this is obvious). The BBM7 user must also be running OS7 on their device. Are they?

    No unfortunately they don't. BBM7 on an OS7 device allows for wifi calling but other then that there is no wifi calling on a BlackBerry in Ireland.

    UMA wifi calling is not available from irish networks

    Re the hotspot. You just need an apn. But the problem is this apn will cost you money if you don't have the tethering add-on. Get the tethering add-on for an additional cost and ask for the tethering apn and I can set you up from here.
