There was this (https://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=39&topicid=272804) glimmer of hope last July... Will just have to keep waiting as anyone who knows anything can't say anything.

That is a bit poor. The largest provider and they don't have wifi calling. I would like to have this but don't really want to have to change to 2 degrees as I had bad experience with 2degrees sometime back of course they may have improved has anyone had any experience with them re Wi-Fi calling

Going by the thread link above it is def in the pipeline but remembering we have Covid which stalled a lot of things last year. Vodafone is meant to have wifi-calling soon (to replace Sure Signal)

@ronw If it is not available on Spark then zero chance Wi-Fi calling on Skinny, Even searching Wi-Fi calling on the Spark site returns zero results

@ronw Wi-Fi calling is rock solid on 2degrees I have used it around the globe, 2degrees coverage including 4G is not what it use to be even 12 months ago! mobile coverage has expanded big time

 

I have used Wi-Fi calling since it launched on 2d what issue/s did you have?

I think that  if / when Spark  / Skinny get it you'll most likely  need to buy a new phone to support it..

That is quite possible. I wonder if there is a list anywhere of what phones support wifi calling. But that would apply to any carrier would it not
