So either EE have decided that PAYG is getting WifiCalling or the article is pretty badly written. Plenty of mentions of PAYG prices and the phones getting WiFiCalling in the summer.

The Harrier and Harrier Mini change all that. The phones, manufactured by BenQ for EE, are absolutely at the affordable end of the market. The Harrier Mini is the smaller of the two – though its 4.7-inch screen is the same as the iPhone 6, so this is not a small phone, really – costs £99.99 on pay-as-you-go or free on 4G tariffs as low as £16.99 a month.

The larger phone costs £199 on pay-as-you-go and is also well-specced for the price, including a full HD 5.2-inch display and 13-megapixel rear snapper. Both handsets run the latest version of Android software, Lollipop and the design, though not sumptuous, looks far from cheap.

If you’re desperate to get wi-fi calling, note that though the phones go on sale next Tuesday, the feature will go live in the summer when an update is delivered to the handsets.

I don't know why it's not across the board anyway.
Why restrict it to contract?
It's a great way to get users to stay.

Or they get awkward by only enabling WiFi calling for users of those specific phones, whereas if you want it on that iPhone or S6 you'll need a contract
