VoWifi / Text plan

neo911 — Tue, 04 Jan 2022 19:56:05 GMT

Hi,

I had couple of more questions in continuation to my earlier post about porting to PM

- Does PM allow Voice over Wifi ? Voice over LTE?

- In the 90 day plan adding text or no text has no effect on the final price. It seems PM is offering global text option for free currently. The discount amount increases so that the text plan becomes free. Is this correct or am I interpreting it incorrectly ?

Please clarify

Cheers !

- No voice over Wi-Fi. For Voice over LTE, not at the moment. I believe whenever Telus implements this, we should get that feature.

- Yes, that's right, no brainer to not have global texting since its free and gives you discount.

Feel free to continue asking Qs in this same thread. No need to make another one for different Qs.

Actually @NDesai Telus does have some limited VoLTE in BC and Alberta, and only with the LG G4 and Samsung S6, with the latest software updates installed: http://www.telus.com/en/bc/support/article/how-to-use-volte. Hopefully they will roll it out to more geographic areas and handsets eventually. On the other hand, I don't know if we've had confimation that PM customers will get access to the feature. I believe I heard only post-paid Telus (and maybe Koodo?) subscribers can access it and not their pre-paid, so that may leave us out by default.

After manually updating my Galaxy S6 to the latest PG2 firmware, I now see HD Calling when talking to certain people. I am trying to determine if that is VoLTE or some other technology. I'm pretty sure it only shows when talking to people on Telus network including other Public Mobile users.
