Hi,

This is similar to this question: https://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=85&topicid=257132 , but I was just wondering if anyone was aware if you have a Warehouse Mobile Sim with an Oppo AX5, will wifi calling work?

If so, then if you take the phone into a 2degrees store, will they help with that?

It is listed on here ( https://www.2degrees.nz/help/mobile-help/calling-features/phones-compatible-with-volte-and-wifi-calling) as supported, and the phone was bought from the warehouse with a warehouse mobile sim, which it still has in it.

Cheers,

Goosey

I think you will need to go back to the warehouse (maybe you can do this online), and pay a fee to get the mobile unlocked then goto the 2degrees store and get their SIM.

But, pays to talk to them about it first...

@hamistheman Have you tried a 2degrees SIM in the handset and are you sure Warehouse mobile customers can use WiFi calling?

Nothing about WiFi calling on the Warehouse mobile website

You are not a 2degrees customer so customer service comes from Warehouse mobile

I would say 2degrees will not provide support to Warehouse customers. The network may be the same but they are separate operations. There isn't much to help with - it's just a toggle in the mobile settings. If it is not there with a Warehouse SIM card, then it doesn't work.

Ok cool - thanks guys.

FYI, There's no option for it in settings, so I'm assuming its not supported. Thanks for the help!

Cheers,

Got the run around when contacting support desk, but eventually confirmed that warehouse mobile Sim's do NOT support Wi-Fi calling. Just posting in case anyone else is wondering.
