Hi anyone got WiFi calling enabled with Vodafone UK? I don't see the option in my phone app > Settings...?
O2 is the only provider in the UK to offer WifiCalling. I'm on Vodafone and they are hardly cutting edge with their rollout of new technology. Searching on their forums there's no mention of it, so I don't think you'll be making the most of it any time soon. :(

Their support website https://support.vodafone.co.uk/Using-our-network/Wi-Fi-Calling/67269365/How-do-I-set-up-Wi-Fi-Calling-on-an-Android-phone.htm lists XZ1 Compact as compatible they support it, but as usual their "Live chat" "support" is useless. I've Texted CALLING to 97888, and got a confirmation text and an OTA provsioning text, rebooted the phone but still don't see it listed as a option in the Phone > Settings > Calls menu

Is it a vodafone firmware build on the phone?
Apparently there are some updated APN settings for getting the wificalling working

Thanks,

Interestingly, the process I followed did send an over the air provisioning update but not with those settings

I added a new set of APN settings matching those in that post, but I still don't see Wifi Calling in Phone > Settings > Calls.

I just see the attached:

The Vodafone forums mention missing WifiCalling button and the resolution is that it has to be pushed to your phone as an update by someone on the Vodafone tech support team.
More support calls to the worst support call provider.
