Infinity and Wifi Calling on Orange

Has anybody else had issues with Wifi calling on Infinity? Using Blackberry Bold 9900 on Orange/EE. No problems before upgrade.

Yes I was on ADSL before and yes it was with BT. The router was a Zyxel rather than a BT one. I've tried all week with wifi calling and it is certainly not usable, because of break-up of speech.
I only got wifi calling on this Blackberry when they upgraded the software to 7.1 a few months ago, and it has been a revolution in mobile reception at home, which used to be very dodgy.
The download speed of web pages onto the phone through the wifi connection is excellent, because I can do that just fine with the mobile phone connection turned off and only the wifi connection live.

S6 IPSec Service Data Storage and WiFi Calling

Hi,
Can any other S6 owners tell me the storage size of the IPSec Service application.
Then can you tell me if you have wifi calling enabled.
I am getting the run around between EE and Samsung as I think there is a data leak in the wifi calling.
My IPSec Service application is taking up 5.16GB and there is no way to clean this other than a phone reset.
Cheers
Ian

I have the same issue. Only 1.6gb though. I heard this is some sort of memory leak and 5.1.1 should fix this issue. But being EE and a Samsung device, who knows when the update will arrive!

IOS 9 Public beta and Wifi Calling

Posting to see if anyone is having the same issue, when receiving calls whilst on WiFi calling it doesn't ring, I get a call failed message and then a message informing me of a missed call, without my phone ringing.
On the callers end it rings once apparently and goes directly to voicemail.

It's a beta don't expect it not to have issues.

BT Infinity and voice calls

Hi,
BT have called me, sent emails and now snail mail suggesting I take up BT Infinity. My fault, I signed up as interested a long time ago.
When I read the announcements, I infer that I need the new hub and my old hub voice phones will be so much landfill.
My problem is that I do not know what I am supposed to do if I want to speak to my friends and family. The latest letter from Warren Buckley even states "as a BT Total Broadband ... customer, you may not need to pay anymore for BT Infinity - as packages start from ..."
Ok, so I can have BT Infinity at no extra cost and my handsets are useless, how do I make phone calls without buying new handsets and more importantly which handsets do I buy (at no extra cost.
If this question has been answered in simple english, please just point me too it and accept my thanks in advance.
Yours tired and confused,
David

Hi I have recently changed from BT broadband with HH2 with a hubphone (which I bloomin' well had to buy off eBay).
Anyhow on THIS POST I wrote.-
So on BT broadband I had.-
1.5Mb broadband with 10Gb download cap per month. Anytime UK landline calls.
For £16 + £13.90 line rental. Total £29.90 per month.
And with Infinity I have.-
37Mb broadband with 40Gb download cap per month. Anytime UK landline calls.
For £18 + £4.75 + £13.90 Line rental. Total £36.65.
I'm actually paying £35.35p per month with the paperless billing discount.
Approximately an increase from £30 per month to £36 per month.
Therefore for roughly an extra £1.50 per week I get Infinitely faster broadband...lol with an additional 30GB download allowance.
I felt that was worth it, and am very pleased..... so far.
I have ditched the Hub phone and bought a second hand pair of cordless phones off ebay BT Freestyle 750 for £11.
That included the pp.
They are very good phones and have caller i/d which I have never had before.
So I am very pleased with the new set up and with the uplift to my Infinity option 1 for anytime UK calls I don't miss my hub phone at all.

Three new smartphones to launch with WiFi Calling

We’re delighted to announce that we’ll be the first network to launch built-in Wifi calling in the UK when the Samsung Galaxy S6, the S6 Edge and the Lumia 640 become available on EE.

If you actually read what I've just wrote, you'll see you've just said exactly what I've just wrote.
I wrote:
"Orange built a Signal Boost app into compatible Orange branded handsets(excluding BlackBerry phones). You would need to open the app to manually enable or disable Signal Boost, you would then be able to use your phone as normal. You would also need to enable or disable WiFi separately from the Signal Boost app."
You've also stated yourself(which I've already said) "it was preinstalled on the phone and only available on branded handsets that had the feature in the firmware. So it was an app like had previously stated. Nothing was said about it being an app available to everyone, all the OP said was Orange had this service already working and Brendonx stated Orange had a app; which you've acknowledged was built into Orange branded firmware.
Here's a picture of the app you claim Orange didn't use installed on a compatible Orange branded handset.
Like I've already explained UMA and WiFi calling are exactly the same thing but branded two different names.
"Generic Access Network or GAN is a telecommunication system that extends mobile voice, data and multimedia (IMS/SIP) applications over IP networks. Unlicensed Mobile Access or UMA, is the commercial name used by mobile carriers for external IP access into their core networks. More recently, the system has been called Wi-Fi Calling by a number of handset manufacturers, including Apple and Samsung, a move that is being mirrored by carriers like T-Mobile US."

Been told by EE that Wifi Calling is currently down for majority of customers???

Hi,
i'm a new business sim only pay monthly customer. I signed up to EE a few days ago specifically for the wifi calling as I work from home in a rural area with very little mobile reception.
Have an IPhone 5S with ios 8.4, EE carrier 20 and WIfi calling enabled. Wifi calling has been activated by EE from their side (apparently twice) and I still have no 'EE WIfi' showing. After speaking to half a dozen first level tech reps over past two days I finally got put through to a second level tech agent who informed me that there is a known issue with wifi calling for a large number if customers but was reluctant to give me any other information even as to how long it had been going on for and how/when they would resolve it? He couldnt even explain why none of the other reps I had contacted knew of this. He has informed me that i am to wait for a text to let me know what is happening with resolving the issue- has anyone else been told this?

Hi
Like Burge advised even if you have a full signal as long as you are connected to Wi-Fi the W-Fi Calling will still work.
It's only if the Wi-Fi signal is 1 bar that the Wi-Fi Calling will drop out.
There was a provisioning issue but there was a fix put in place on Tuesday. So everything should be working fine now!
If you are still having issues it needs to go to level 2 tech to get a ticket raised.
Let me know how you get on.
are you having an issue with Wi-Fi Calling/
Thanks.

Why must I turn off wifi calling for continuity to work?

I find it extremely frustrating that I have to choose between either the continuity features (dialing/receiving calls from iPad/mac, handoff) and WiFi calling on Tmobile. Both were features that were advertised heavily, while there was no mention that they wouldnt work together. Besides- wouldnt it be easier to handoff calls if they are over WiFi and there is no cell network involved?
*rant

I also want to use WiFi calling because the T-Mobile signal in my home area isn't strong. I also really like the Continuity feature that lets me leave my phone "wherever" in the house and catch or make calls from either my iMac, MacBook Pro or iPad (which are typically in different rooms) when the phone isn't at hand.
Not being able to use WiFi Calling and Continuity at the same time is indeed both disappointing and frustrating.
It makes little sense without at least Apple saying why this can't happen simultaneously. Which protocol is being used to "transmit" calls between the iPhone and other devices?
It doesn't make sense when I try to imagine any kind of conflict, since my iPhone is great at using Bluetooth, Cellular and WiFi all at the same time (I can browse the internet using Safari, while on a cellular call via a bluetooth headset). Hopefully it's just a software thing that hasn't been programmed in yet, and will appear with a future update? One can hope!
[EDIT] PS: It may also have something to do with T-Mobile, since they are still the only ones directly supporting the feature... I'm investigating...

EE Wifi Calling - IPhone 5s - Carrier 20.1?

Hello,
I have been trying to enable WiFi Calling on my 5s but despite having the IOS8.3 software installed, for some reason i have carrier 20.1 rather than 19.1 as described in the EE setup instructions. My wifes IPhone 6 is up to date with IOS8.3 but has carrier 19.1 and WiFi Calling is enabled and working.
How do i get back to 19.1?
Will 20.1 be enabled for WiFi Calling ASAP?

Hi
I've double checked and EE's latest carrier settings are definitely 19.1.
If you plug the device in iTunes and do a restore and update via iTunes this should push the correct carrier settings through.

Hope this helps!
Let me know how you get on.
Thanks.

Wifi Calling Galaxy S5

Why can I not get wifi calling on my phone just because I didn't buy it direct from EE? I pay my bill to EE the same as others who are eligible. Both me and my wife get sketchy coverage at home and wifi calling would solve some of the missed call issues we have been having.

Hi,
Only certain EE phones with EE branded firmware are able to use the VOWIFI service. If you don't have EE firmware then you don't get VOWIFI.
Thanks,

Is there any valid reason why Wifi calling is not enabled and we have to wait until mid 2015?

It seems like it shouldn't have anything to do with the carrier since its completely off their network. It is a feature and function of the device. I've been living in a dead zone for over a year and was excited to hear Wifi calling was coming with the iOS 8 update. After updating today I found out that Verizon has no plans to enable a feature that Apple has made available now until mid 2015. According to the CFO Fran Shammo, "We built our voice platform so extensively [that] there was never a need for us to tell our customers, 'Oh, our network is not good enough so you need to go on Wi-Fi to complete your call." I know I'm not alone here in an area not covered by Verizon and as tempting as it is to buy their $250 network extender I'd much rather use a FREE alternative that is available NOW and has NO BEARING ON VERIZON'S SPOTTY NETWORK that I have the misfortune of living in.

Would love to have every carrier offer coverage everywhere. Verizon may be the best nationwide, but they don't cover everywhere. When I travel WiFi calling works great in places with little to no coverage no matter what carrier I was using. I end up using my T-Mobile lines when I travel to those locations.
I find places that don't have Verizon coverage tend to be the same areas that don't have broadband internet which renders wi-fi calling moot. Yes there are areas in my county that have poor or no service. As I aid these places do not have broadband internet either. So what good is wi-fi calling to them?
As far as T-Mobile I'd have to drive 70 miles just to get to a 4G area and over 40 miles to even get to an area that provides T-Mobile edge. Now if I'm using wi-fi for both calling and data then what am I paying T-Mobile for?

Why do we have to choose between wifi calling and continuity?

I live in a low spot, so signal doesn't make it into my house great from my current provider. I'm looking to buy an iPhone 6 switch to T-Mobile because WiFi calling was touted in the iPhone 6 release as this great new feature. But I have also been looking forward to being able to answer calls on my iPad Air, and my wife on her Macbook Air. In fact, we bought the Macbook Air and my wife's iPhone 5S partially because this feature was touted at the announcement of the new features in iOS 8 and Yosemite this summer. Now I'm finding out that we are being forced to choose one of these great features; we cannot have both active. So in my home where signal strength is a problem, I can use WiFi calling, but not continuity. Is this something that will be allowed in a future update? It's extremely frustrating to find out that you can't take advantage of all the features you were told would work on your new $800 device.

When I first joined att I got a brand new $500 phone for $200 just for signing a 2 year agreement. This was a pretty good deal in my opinion. Then t mobile started their cheaper bills but you have to pay full price for a phone thing. They decided to let people make payments to help out a bit. This was also a pretty good deal seeing as how your bill would be that much lower. Now att has the same expensive plans but decided to add t mobiles idea of making us pay the full price of the phone. Oh but we get to make payments so I guess it's okay.
So instead of paying $200 now, we get to pay $600 over 30 months. The worst part is that people seem to love this idea. I haven't heard one person complain about it. Are people that dumb that they actually think this is a better deal? If you wanted to make payments, you'd be better off putting $200 on a credit card and paying the interest for 30 months then paying the full price of the phone.

I don't get any cellular service where I live. Can I make and receive calls through my wifi?

You can use a service like Skype. Download the (free) Skype app from the App Store and see if that meets your needs.
I have no financial or any other interest in Skype. I am a Skype customer on my Mac.
