as the title says.

Wifi-calling gets my vote for a feature request.

Indeed @RajivD

It would be nice.

Alas, folks here have been asking for that for a LOOOONG time.

If you want to formally request it, ask the Customer Support Agents to forward your request:

Watch for their response in your Community private mailbox which will be indicated by a number on the small envelope icon to the left of your Community avatar, or tap your Avatar down in Messages.

I just switched from Freedom Mobile to Public Mobile, noticed the signal bars at home and work is only about 1-2 bars when Freedom had about 3+ bars. Wifi calling would definitely help in my situation. 🙂

@RajivD I agree! I feel like Public Mobile should introduce this just so that they can keep up with the competition!

I vote no. the system has gotten worse since the everclear change. there's a thing called TextNow and fongo

I agree wifi-calling should be added. I miss it when I had it with Bell and used wifi-calling in my basement with no issues.

Thanks

Yeah definitely I'd like answering calls from my basement

Nice try @RajivD

but you need to write to PM and let them know what you want. A request on the forum would not go anywhere

(but I doubt it will come 🙂 )

Re: Lets get on the WiFi-Calling bandwagon folks.

RajivD — Mon, 11 Dec 2023 02:56:20 GMT

Well I did send them a note. Don’t think I heard from them yet. It’s funny that I am being so optimistic as to think that this will be our Christmas present from PM this year. Fingers crossed 🙂

Yes please!!!

Wifi calling would be amazing. Surely Public Mobile has it on the road map. Videotrons expansion and MVNOs are going to force the expansion of features and competitive pricing.

Joorrddan — Fri, 15 Dec 2023 22:51:08 GMT

100% agree!

My wife and I joined PM at the start of November. She already switched away, because we need wifi calling in our house. My kids and I may switch away as well.

Re: Lets get on the WiFi-Calling bandwagon folks.

Please get Wi-Fi Calling on the Public Mobile Network. It would be a welcome addition.

Thank you!

I think there's two main barriers to VoWiFi which prevent Telus (or any other major operator) from providing it.

1) They can't monetize it, because

2) They can't properly secure, control, audit, monitor, or track it.

I think this is an amazing idea! Used to have it with Virgin Plus and it worked amazing for large buildings or IKEA! Hope Public Mobile adopts this next year as one of their goals! It would bring a lot of attention to Public Mobile as the "Cheap Plans, Same Functions" Provider. I was with them in 2021 for a little bit and it sucked that they didn't have Voice Over LTE, but glad they got that settled out!

Surprised that Public doesn’t have Wi-Fi Calling feature implemented

Re: Lets get on the WiFi-Calling bandwagon folks.

G_Cristian — Sat, 23 Dec 2023 23:16:56 GMT

It's EverSafe. At any rate, there is TextNow and Fongo but don't forget that as far as OTP goes i) some banks and service providers refuse to send OTP to VOIP numbers and ii) even for the ones that they send, most Short Code SMSs do not arrive anyway, so for Public Mobile to not offer roaming outside of US and at the same time not offer WiFi Calling is not a good thing.

Rogers+Fido offer WiFi Calling, why not Telus+Public Mobile?
