Vodafone Wifi Calling
Vodafone launched Wifi Calling today but i assume iPhone 6 customers need to wait until next week so we get a carrier update from Apple?

They said rolling out over the next few weeks. I think some articles reported it as if it were available today.

Shame it is contract only but no different from EE in that respect.
I guess it will give us a good hint to which phones will be VoLTE, that's if Vodafone actually publish a list of WiFi calling phones. Which other Vodafone markets offer WiFi calling? I know most now offer VoLTE but I've never seen much about WiFi calling. |

I'd say none. In fact how many networks outside the US other than EE do it (without an app)? There can't be many.
I wonder how responsible WiFi calling is for the VoLTE delay. I wish VoLTE came first though like with At&t and Verizon, but it isn't to be. |

Only reason T-Mobile and Sprint WiFi Calling for years was because of Verizon and AT&T having literally all the low band spectrum and they simply couldn't compete so it allowed them to ensure there users got a reliable signal at home.
If I remember right T-Mobile even offer a special router for WiFi Calling. But as you say there hasn't been a lot of networks in Europe that have launched WiFI Calling I know SwissCom has. |

According to the Vodafone website this is only going to be available on the new iPhone 6S and 6S Plus. Hoping that's just initially.... Quote:

Surprised that they can even limit it just to the 6S and 6S+ would of thought the Apple Carrier update would go out to all devices at same time.

Three's version out for a couple of years is available to all 3 customers. Strictly does not work abroad when in a 3 at home country, but I found it worked via a vpn.
