Can't find WiFi calling on new Xiaomi A2

MurphyM11

I bought an Xiaomi A2 and I can figure out how to put on WiFi calling - I've tried the call settings - advanced settings but not showing up.
With Eir🙈

Anyone set this up on the A2?

Are you on an eir plan, recent, that supports it?

Hi thanks I'll have a look at that now - hope it'll work.
The A2 was working great with Vodafone but changed to Eir for the WiFi calling as reception isn't the best in house. Hope I haven't wasted lots of money on the A2 that now won't work with the WiFi calling


My husbands iphone picks up the WiFi calling perfect

To the best of my knowledge Eir wifi calling is only available on Eir purchased handsets namely Apple and Samsung, possibly a few other manufacturers are included but definitely not your brand.

No mention of xiaomi devices, and since they are not available from network providers here, it is doubtful they will be added to support list. (Coming to Three soon)

Hi
I enquired with Eir before buying the phone and they said once the phone has WiFi calling abilities it doesn't need to be one of their phones

VOLTE is standard and works almost universally, VOWIFI is a bit of a mess.

Eir told me a different story, only certain phones are supported. I have a HTC 10 from Eir. The phone itself does support WiFi calling but Eir have it disabled in the firmware. Was over and back to them when WiFi calling was launched and there is no way around it.
