It's something you may see eventually but it's such a backwards concept there isn't really a need for it - unlike the US where their mobile networks are so atrocious.

With the number of people that complain about dropped calls on wifi calling, I dont think I want it.

I'm in a geographically challenging location - over the lip of a hill from our nearest cell tower - so just about anything would be an improvement for me. I have an SMS sitting on my phone which has been sitting for the last hour waiting to send.

I tried getting on the Spark live chat to ask about this but the person on the other end obviously had no idea what I was talking about.

@pbolger clearly you know you live in a coverage blackspot for mobile coverage due to " geographically challenging location " so I am not sure what you are expecting the Spark live chat staff member to do about this?

Were you expecting them to build a cell site for you? This is where VodafoneNZ has an advantage with Sure Signal (Femtocell) Mini low powered cellsite in the house and backhaul over the home broadband

Well since this is a thread about calling over Wi-Fi, I'd wager that the OP was not expecting that!

From reading the post above they are also speaking about low / poor mobile coverage

Yes, but the reason I'm interested in Wi-Fi calling is because it has the potential to improve the bad coverage issue. Not because I want to add an extra layer to my cellular communications.
