Woohoo, got the update on my S21 and WiFi calling works great.

In the settings, I am able to set a preference of mobile or wifi too.

Yes great to see it as an option for Spark on my S20FE, doesn't appear to be on my other SIM (Vodafone).

I don't have that option on the S22+. What date is the update?

It's showing on my S22+with Android running up to security for 1/10. It looks like wifi calling is busy a toggle switch but you can push it to go in to the menu with this option. Glad it's an option to be override the setting as we are right on the edge of coverage and it keeps flicking back and forth between wifi and cell networks.

Came with the Android 13 update - 1 Oct Security update. Looks like build date is Nov 3rd?

I see there is also a new WiFi calling quick setting toggle too👌🏽

Found it thanks, I didn't realize there was an a menu if you tapped WiFi calling. I have the same issue sometimes in the downstairs part of our house.

A52s received the Android 13 update this morning, WiFi calling seems to be working fine. Have the option for mobile or WiFi preference, and a nice toggle to enable/disable in the quick settings menu.

Didn't realise Spark WiFi calling doesn't do SMS as well...that's a slight bummer.

A51 hasn't yet received the update.

I was quite surprised to see on Spark's site that my old Galaxy S10e is now supported, and after applying the latest system update the WiFi calling options in available. A bonus for me because my office seems to have been built as a Faraday cage

Yep when it makes a call using WiFi calling I do. Had to set WiFi to preference to test it.

@old3eyes If the handset has any mobile coverage when connected to WiFi calling SMS will still be delivered over mobile network
