WiFi calling on Gomo plans?

Wi-Fi calling is becoming increasingly essential as buildings are built and retrofitted to A level energy ratings. The foil layer in insulation, and the metallic layer in A rated windows reflect mobile signals, creating blackspots inside buildings. WiFi calling allows you to create your own seamless indoor coverage for normal voice calls and texts. It also allow you to bypass roaming charges when travelling to non-EU countries.

Just tried it and it’s now enabled for me

Make a call when connected to 4G data and your phone should stay on 4G while the call is in progress.

WiFi Calling will be enabled at the same time - turn on airplane mode, then manually turn WiFi back on and you will be able to make/take calls and SMS normally via the WiFi.

Open to be corrected, but I think if you’re in an area with no/bad coverage but have WiFi, (e.g. in a hotel or coffee shop etc.), you can make a call as normal with no charges.

If you were roaming, you could turn off the phone signal also & still be able to make/receive calls as normal as if you’re in your home country with no extra charges as long as you were WiFi connected.

Seems to have been enabled on mine this afternoon as well.

Note 20 Ultra on the 9.99 plan.

Google have to "approve" a network before any ancillary features like WiFi Calling, VoLTE or 5G will work.

So far Eir hasn't been approved so none of those features work (GoMo for all intents and purposes is the Eir network, unlike say, 48 and 3).

There's been a lot of quite frustrated discussions about this on the Google Pixel Community from users across Europe where most carriers haven't been approved by Google and so none of the various operator ancillary features will work.

So far Google don't appear to have engaged and the only people who engage with such threads from a Google perspective are forum volunteers and not employees (and their responses tend to be very much on the unhelpful side...).

Im after getting it on a Xiaomi today. VOLTE and Wifi Calling.

Can confirm this is now working on the €9.99. Using iPhone 12 Pro Max. Happy days finally have decent signal inside the house.

Hi Schorpio, did you have to do anything other than just turn on WiFi calling on the handset to get it working.

TIA

No, nothing at all. WiFi calling just worked out of the box. It didn't work when I moved to GoMo though.

I don't use that phone anymore, but I still have it. I might stick a GoMo SIM into it and see if WiFi calling works again.

Belmulletman,

Did you have to restart your phone or did VoLTE (or similar) just appear on your screen? I'm on the original 9.99 plan, too. Still waiting (as is my missus).

I put that code in and it enabled the option and turned on, but it doesn't work. 3 phones here still without it.

I also turned on VoLTE

VoLTE *#*#86583#*#*

Hmm. No effect at all on my OnePlus 6. I had a UK SIM which had VoLTE, so I know the phone supports it but no luck so far

am on the 9.99 plan and the WIFI Calling option on my IPhone says ... contact Eir.
