GoMo WiFi calling

RoflHarris

Just got an email from GoMo saying WiFi calling now available for all.

Enabled it on a OnePlus 6 and Poco f1. I had to enable it using some backend workarounds on both phones to make the option visible in settings. It's enabled but not actually working on either phone. Asks me to turn off airplane mode or if that's off tells me I have no phone signal.

Prob a specific phone issue. Anybody got it working on another Android?

Works fine on a Samsung for me

Working on OnePlus 9 for me.

It's up and running for me on a Redmi K30pro running xiaomi.eu miui 12. I had to enable the WiFi calling option via the dialler code *#*#869434#*#* Once you dial, you'll get a small notification saying “Vowifi carrier check was disabled.

Then into SIM settings to switch it on and select mobile/WiFi preference.

I have a Oneplus6 handset - how did you enable the option? The *#*#869434#*#* mentioned above did nothing for me.

Thanks, just did it on Redmi 9.

Also just got the Gomo email letting me know it was available.

Glad that the dialler code helped get ye all sorted folks. Reminds me of my days as an O2 guru 😁

For the OnePlus, I haven't ever used them but a few options.

Open your dialler, enter *#8000# and see if it lists "vowifi" as available.

If it doesn't show? The steps on the following may help get it sorted.

I also got the email a few days ago. OnePlus 7T but cannot enable it. The *#800# brings me to a different screen than in that article, just logs, no Function Switch.

When I go to Display>Status Bar>Icon manager I can see VoLTE and WiFi Calling switched on to appear in the status bar but they don't appear there.

Like the other OnePlus user *#*#869434#*#* does nothing for me.

OS Oxygen 11.0.7.1.HD65BA

Anyone got any suggestions?

Thanks.

I've had WiFi calling enabled for a while now on my Redmi. But still haven't managed to make a call through WiFi.

Have tuned aeroplane mode on and connected to WiFi, but when I try make a call, I get the following message

"Turn off areoplane mode or connect to a wireless network to make a call"

Has anybody been able to set-up WiFi calling on a Huawei Y7 Prime 2018 ?

VoLTE does not show in the settings.

I wish Google would stop being particular about what networks can use things like WiFi Calling on Pixels. Not having 5G doesn't bother me but WiFi calling would be very handy.

Anyone know how to do this on a Moto G7 Plus? Can't seem to find the option. Maybe it's not possible...

It's been like that since last year, very weird given the large Google operation here.

Have you been able to get this working? Have enabled Wifi calling using code about but unable to make calls

Berberis

Had forgotten all about it untill we seeing your post.

Tried it just now and still not working

Wife's phone is a Samsung Galaxy S6 with Android 7 but the option to turn on Wifi Calling is not visible anywhere.

Anyone met this problem and found a solution?

Does wifi calling work on all new Samsung phones?

May want to turn off WiFi calling on some Google and Samsung models until this is patched.

Did you figure out how to get from the List of Logs to the screen that shows Function Switch?

I have a similar problem on a OnePlus 6.

I gave in and bought a new cheap (€100) phone with wifi calling function, popped in the SIM and changed from VoLTE to Wifi Calling and all good.

Pity, but the facility was needed.

Update: VoWifi (Wifi calling) is great. After a couple of weeks use it is a pleasure to have full coverage for calls. No negatives as far as I can tell.

It was worth buying a compatible phone just to get this function.

Any list of compatible phones?

The following applies to GoMo but is probably true for other mobile networks as well:

One thing to watch is that when you are abroad WiFi Calling routes calls back to Ireland on IP network and then emerges on the phone network as a call from Ireland so instead of a free roaming call within your bundle you may be charged for an international call from Ireland. Best to switch off WiFi calling when going abroad.

I bought a "Ulefone Note 13P" because it was advertised as having Wifi Calling. Even if it had turned out to be not compatible I would not have been too upset as it cost about €83.

I have not seen a list of VoWifi compatible phones.

I have no doubt there are better phones available at the price but we are very happy with this one.

WiFi calling not working on a redmi 13 pro on Gomo. Phone won't ring when connected to WiFi. Worked on old redmi note 10. Any ideas why?

Thanks

All I can think of is to double check that VoLTE/WiFi Calling is enabled in the phone settings.

I've a Pixel 6 Pro and turned WiFi calling on a week or so ago, was working fine. Then this morning I went to connect to my work VPN and there is 2FA on that process where you get a phone call and have to confirm you're connecting... the phone just never rang. Tried it 2-3 times and nothing, then turned the WiFi off and it worked fine. I'm just leaving it off now, I don't really need it where I live. Might be something up with WiFi calling in general today though.
