Wifi calling

I referred pubic mobile to my friends. Some of them asked about wi-fi calling, and they believe wifi calling feature is very important. Unfortunately, public mobile doesn't support wifi calling at the moment. Is anyone know if PM has a schedule to add wifi calling feature?

@Shawn434

PM is a tier 3 providers and like all the other tier 3 providers, they likely won't have Wifi Calling feature. Sorry about that

Thanks, Softech. This is such an unfortunate. It may keep lot of potential users away from PM.

It's good to have hope, @Shawn434

Awhile back, we never imagined they'd enable VoLTE, however they are slowly doing that.

So i figure wi-fi calling may be in line for consideration ... just not likely anytime soon. 😐

@HALIMACS I think VoLTE is different from Wifi Calling. VoLTE will be a needed feature as PM is preparing the sunset for 3G network. Wifi Calling is a "nice to have" feature only. I hightly doubt it is even on the plan.

Wait ... so PM is planning for something that might happen by 2030? 😂

The world according to sheytoon : 3G will not be shut down by 2025 - Community (publicmobile.ca)

@HALIMACS even 2030 is not that far away for wireless industry, they cannot just turn the switch off. You see all tier 3 providers are rollling out VoLTE slowly.

@HALIMACS It's also a dependency for US roaming. They seemed to hurry up with it shortly after the US shut down their 3G networks.
