The mast I passed today that was offline for work didn't show up on the status checker.

I'm happily using VoLTE on 800 on 3, but according to their list nowhere within 120 miles of me has it officially. I can certainly pick up EE on 800 here but I have neither a SIM or an approved phone to test. |

Another thing page says. VoLTE to VoLTE calls will have to international dialling tone like WiFi Calling. I thought they would of been able to change this by now.

I wonder if that is definitive, or similar to 3's "list of cities" for anything 4G.

EE 4G to cover 95% of the UK landmass by 2020 and bring customer service back to UK
EE is aiming to bring 4G to 95% of the UK landmass by 2020 (government's target for operators is to provide voice and text coverage to only 90% of UK landmass by the end of 2017) as well as relocating its customer services to the UK and Ireland.
http://ee.co.uk/our-company/newsroom...ge_to_95_of_UK Article states 4G Calling (VoLTE) will be rolled out everywhere by July. |

Good news to read this I wonder when the rollout is complete in July 2016 will it then have the power turn up?Can we expect any kind of announcement on 800MHz this summer? Thanks Baz |

4000 sites with 800MHz by 2020. Presume much of Scotland will consist of that.

I saw on a news article today that BT had rolled out fibre to the Scilly Isles.... I immediately thought it wouldn't be long before we rolled out 4G there as the area has always been 2G only. Didn't realise we'd be that on the ball to be switching it on today!

I'm surprised EE has 4G only areas as per that press release, that means people without VoLTE capable phone can't make calls in those areas?

It will ultimately be restricted to VOLTE (4G voice) capable devices only. |

Because it will be 4G 800mhz which will travel further than 1800mhz 2G and 2100mhz 3G.
It will ultimately be restricted to VOLTE (4G voice) capable devices only. Three's app is just a rebadged app from a company providing solutions to anyone that wants it. By 2020, there won't likely be that many people with a phone that doesn't have VoLTE support natively OR couldn't run an app that routes calls over 4G. |

There's nothing to say EE couldn't offer an equivalent to inTouch for existing phone users if it wanted to. In fact, it would make sense to do just that (but before anyone wonders if I know something, I am purely speculating off my own back here).

Further to this question and this mornings announcement, is 800 available on pay and go? I'm using a pay and go sim to try out the network before jumping ship. One question was answered this morning regarding VoLTE only being avaliable on pay monthly or business, would one assume this applies to 800 too?

You will need VoLTE to make any kind of call over 4G, whatever the frequency. So if VoLTE is not allowed on PAYG then 800 will only be for data and the phone will drop to 2/3G for calls as it does with 1800 4G. 800 might not even work at all, someone who actually knows what they are talking about will confirm.
