Hi team,

Not going to bs anyone - suresignals is EOL and the service is due to be retired by the end of the year.

If someone wants it - great. Otherwise it’s going into my next ewaste trip.

Pick up only. Auckland New lynn area.

Given that they haven't yet managed to roll out the WiFi calling that was supposed to be here in October, they may have to keep running that service for awhile yet. In which case I'd be interested, with the slight caveat that I have no easy way to get it at the moment.

@neb VodafoneNZ WiFi calling is live and since October and I know people using it and threads here on Geekzone about it

That’s one of the reasons why I’m offering the suresignal before it goes to ewaste… wifi calling is working well for me along with hand off and back again to 4G.

It’s light enough, I could send it if someone really wants it but need to see if the post shop is open.

It's selectively live. On my phone I've got it enabled on the second, non-Vodafone SIM but not on the primary Vodafone SIM.

@neb No it is live! Is your handset on the approved list as listed on the VodafoneNZ site?

Yes, it's a supported Oppo with the latest firmware, and I checked before I got it to make sure it was OK for WiFi calling.

Edited to add: Just checked again and it's still listed as "in development, months away". Which is weird since it's been enabled from day 1 on the non-Vodafone SIM.

@Neb So then call VodafoneNZ and log a fault ticket that your phone is not working with WiFi calling

You can't come out with the line WiFi calling is not working cause your number is not attaching to the service

Better check was the handset purchased from VodafoneNZ?

See my previous post, Vodafone are still listing it as "months away" so there's no point logging a fault.

My note 10 still isnt working on it, and its a reasonably modern phone.

We have a lot of customers using sure signals. We even use one in our Ahuriri office for our staff since our fleet phones are with VF.
I really jumped on the sure signals a few years ago, even putting up the outdoor and business ones at some beaches that lacked cellphone coverage hosting them and providing backhaul at no cost to vodafone. Anytime a customer called in the last 8 years and asked about cellphone repeaters, we sold them a sure signal.

I dont see wifi calling as a viable alternative until vodafone get most of the "in development" list on the actively working and compatible list.
They should have at least considered a 3 month crossover that started when their list was comparable to 2degrees.

So our plan is at the beginning of december to send out an email to our customers advising them to switch to 2degrees.

Unless of course there is some extension to the shutdown announced then I dont see any other way.

You might want to read the call quality mega thread first to make sure it's not out of the frying pan into the fire.

Can anyone involved with the Vodafone process provide some insight as to why it works out-of-the-box for Spark and Skinny but seems to be some tremendously ponderous manual process for Vodafone? Just wondering what the difference is.

Guys. This is a FS thread. Please don’t hijack it. There is a whole other thread for that.
