Not quite. You don’t seem to be able to do things like set call forwarding.

Haven’t tried in a while so maybe they’ve added it now too.

SparkNZ have posted on Twitter that the WiFi calling launch is soon

 

 

Are you able post that link or a screenshot please? I've searched for this announcement on twitter and via Google but cannot find anything. The latest reference I found was a tweet reply on Jun 17 from SparkNZ saying no confirmed date or schedule. Thanks.

Apart from being a Meta (Facebook) product, requiring you to create account, install client app, etc and not everyone using it.

 

Also Internet-based calling apps are not the same as mobile WiFi calling and not solving the same problems. Very different.

WhatsApp only works to people who are using  it.  You can't call landlines and non WhatsApp people .    VoWiFi is great  for those with bad or no cell service.
