Hi all, I’m usually more of a reader than a poster but I thought I’d give it a go (lol).
I’m currently on out in Turkey with both phones on EE (iPhone 14 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S23) and they’ve connected to the Turkcell network. However when I got to my hotel on Monday, I realised that on my S23, I had WiFi Calling from EE which was strange as my iPhone was still showing Turkcell. I tried calling someone and the call rang as normal without the spend cap warning. I did check my VPN (which was set to UK) in case and it is wasn’t on…
Screenshot from my Samsung S23… Showing EE WiFi Calling icon and VodaTR (esim)
Screenshot for comparison from my iPhone. Local Sim VodaTR showing WiFi Calling but my EE sim still showing Turkcell.
Now I’m not aware if WiFi Calling abroad was available from EE as it hasn’t appeared since on iPhone or if I was just being lucky. I’ll keep you posted on that front.
But it’s strange that UK providers don’t offer WiFi Calling abroad (as some abroad providers like PLAY in Poland do… and would save some on roaming costs).
Any ideas what has happened? Or am I just being daft.
