Wi-Fi Calling

MadDog927 — Sun, 29 Jun 2025 02:01:16 GMT

I received an offer yesterday to increase my data plan from 60Gb to 80Gb for an additional $6/mo. I would RATHER have Wi-Fi calling for an additional $5/mo. Is there anything preventing Public Mobile from offering this service, given that it doesn't require additional mobile data overhead or cell towers? Telus and Koodo both already offer this feature.

No main Tier 3 providers has Wifi calling at the moment. If you need it, you will have to check with Tier 2 providers like Koodo

Hey @MadDog927

You're right. Having WiFi calling would actually be a wise thing for Public Mobile to do. It would take a lot of stresses off the Telus network. But alas, Public Mobile is a barebones service. The idea or concept of Public Mobile is to keep costs low as possible for customers. Maybe one day in the far far future. 🙂

I thought that I would miss WiFi calling but it surprisingly hasn’t been an issue despite the marginal cellular signal at home as I watch the cruise ships sailing by on their way to Alaska
