Three UK Finally Enables Embedded WiFi Calling for Android and iOS

Monday, Jan 30th, 2017 (4:43 pm) - Score 3,169

Mobile operator Three UK has today announced that embedded WiFi Calling is finally available for Android and iOS users, which means you can make voice calls or send texts over WiFi from your device and without needing a third-party app. Useful if you don’t have a Mobile signal.

The feature has been on Three UK’s roadmap for a long time, but they’ve been slow to get it working properly. Meanwhile rivals Vodafone and EE have had a working solution since 2015. Never the less iOS users from the 5c upwards simply need to ensure that they’re running the latest software (v10.2+) and after that the feature should be listed under Settings > Phone > WiFi Calling.

By comparison Android users can only use the feature if they have a compatible device with the latest firmware installed, which should activate it automatically. At present the official list of compatible devices is rather limited and includes the LG G5, Samsung S6, Samsung S6 edge. The Samsung S7 and S7 edge will also be compatible from mid-February 2017.

UPDATE:

We note that the Android part of this feature was already put live towards the end of last year, although iOS has now followed and hence the official announcement.
