Feature Request - WiFi Calling

[smp999]

Hi. I know PM does not offer WiFi calling, so this is just another avenue to let them know this is a highly requested feature

Even better if it could be used outside Cda/US.  Setting up WiFi calling for use outside of Cda would have to be way easier and cheaper than trying to get agreements with service providers in each country.

 But even if it was just for use within Canada, that would be such a leap. A year ago there was no way we thought we would have VoLTE and unlimited data plans, so here's hoping......

HI @Typhon 

if you are using 50GB or more, you don't have to. you can even turn on data at home  🙂

I think you missed my point - "wonder why I am paying for my mobile plan." Ofcourse if I was paying for 50GB of data I wouldn't bother with WIFI - I have dropped my plan down to the $15 plan just so I won't lose my phone number.

I sometimes wonder why I am paying for my mobile plan. Just about all the time I use WIFI for  iMessage, emails and face time to do shopping. banking, searches  etc. and also to keep in touch with family in Europe. Also the other day I watched almost an entire movie over a hospitals free WIFI while waiting to see a doctor while in the emergency waiting room. ( It turned out that we were all waiting for hours because there wasn't a doctor on duty- they should have at least advised us of this  -- but no they just kept us waiting.)

@wetcoaster- Hear hear. Telus doesn't seem to want to participate in the concept of pure BYOD though. They seem more interested in rolling back to the dark ages of controlling the devices on their network using their own proprietary methods of filtering out those devices they don't want. Not BYOD.

HI @wetcoaster 

i agree the VoLTE whitelist should be gone

[wetcoaster]

My first priority on the wish list would be that they are scrapping the stupid device white list for VoLTE (and, if it's showing up eventually, VoWiFi, of course). White listing makes no sense for a pure BYOD provider - if your phone is VoLTE capable, let it use VoLTE. No matter what brand and model.

HI @smp999 

i think only Tier 2 or 1 carriers have that

but you can submit a ticket with Agent and let them know there is a demand:
