EE added then removed some info from the 4G Calling page:
With 4G Calling (also known as VoLTE). Sounds simple, but you’d be surprised how few mobile providers will let you do this. The big benefit is your internet doesn’t slow down on a call. On hands free and using Google Maps? As part of our ongoing roll out of 4G Calling across the EE 4G Network, further to the locations previously enabled we’ve now extended the service to a large number of additional areas across the UK. As we continue with the roll out in the coming weeks you may notice more locations where 4G Calling becomes available. Northern Ireland (where all 4G sites have been 4G Calling enabled), Aberdeenshire, Berkshire, Blackpool, Bournemouth, Cambridgeshire, Cheshire, Cumbria, Derbyshire, Devon, Dorset, Essex, Greater Manchester, Hampshire, Kent, Lancashire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Oxfordshire, Sussex, West Midlands and Yorkshire. Some of the key cities and towns that now benefit from 4G Calling are: Aberdeen Chippenham Hull Newport Windsor Banbury Chester Ipswich Nottingham Wolverhampton Belfast Coventry Kettering Poole Worcester Birmingham Crewe Kidderminster Plymouth Worthing Blackburn Darlington Leeds Reading Wrexham Blackpool Derby Lincoln Redditch York Bolton Dundee Liverpool Salisbury Boston Dunfermline London Scunthorpe Bournemouth Edinburgh Londonderry Sheffield Brighton Glasgow Lowestoft Slough Bristol Grantham Maidenhead Stratford Upon Avon Caernarfon Halifax Manchester Sunderland Cambridge Hatfield Middlesbrough Swansea Cardiff Hereford Newbury Swindon Carlisle Huddersfield Newcastle Warwick |

Went hiking yesterday up Mam Tor and the peaks nearby, was surprised to get a decent 4G signal and speediest of around 23Mb/s not sure if it was 1800 or 800 and didn't think to check at the time.
Back on topic, I've always been always surprised that Orange covered Edale (2G only) but didn't cover the A57. Hopefully they will put some more masts up to fill in the large no-signal areas along there. |

May well have been working a long time before in places. EE waits until a certain percentage of a town/city is done before declaring it.

Well... Something seems to be up in Higham Ferrers, Northamptonshire!
3G seems quite weak today. 2G seems to be a bit weak as well, and EDGE instead of GPRS. I wonder, could we now be getting 4G? |

I've tried to use the search tool on this forum but it seems to be broken - does anyone know if you can buy a sim free Sony Xperia Z5 and use EE wifi calling on it?

It's dead easy to change ROMs on Xperia phones though. Download the FTF, use flashtools, job done.
Won't even lose any data. |

As I expected... From EE just a few minutes ago: Quote:
Hi [beans0ntoast]. Good news! Next week, superfast 4GEE is coming to [my location]. Whilst this is happening you may notice a short interruption to your normal service in your area. We'll aim to complete work within a day and when we are done you'll see the 4G icon on your phone. I'll keep you posted of the outcome, and speeds I get when my mast has been done! |

From EE just a few minutes ago: Seems like I am getting official 4G coverage on EE soon. I was (and still am) getting 4G from EE, from a neighboring mast, but it looks like our mast is good to go. I'll keep you posted of the outcome, and speeds I get when my mast has been done! |

Have any yellow pins been on your mast location on the status checker recently?

Checked the status checker and it said that there are no known issues in my area... Maybe it hasn't come up though...
I know that something is happening though as I got a text from EE! |

Not gonna start a new thread for this, but does anyone know what makes an international ringing tone happen?
I'm asking in this thread because I think someone said a while ago that it happens when you call someone who's on EE WifiCalling? (Is the ringing tone dependant on the receiver or the callers phone..?) I rang my friend the other day who was on 800MHz 4G on Three, and it was international. I still don't really understand what ever makes an international ringing tone happen actually, because even when a friend is abroad it's sometimes the normal tone and sometimes international!? Sorry for so many Qs

A LOT of yellow pins (at least 50) in the north west (Liverpool/Manchester) on Status Checker with work commencing until 7am tomorrow.
http://imgur.com/0Dk5gHH I wonder what they are doing? |

My wife has lost Wi-Fi calling on her 6P (I'm currently using my own EE SIM in another device).
Nothing has changed on my router, so wonder if this is an issue anyone else has suffered? |

It seems like EE's appetite to offer larger data allowances might be increasing...
I have a data SIM that I picked up on a special offer earlier this year - £15 for 25GB on a 30 day contract. I use it as my primary broadband connection and usually get through at least another 20GB in add-ons each month, so the total bill is usually £45+. I got a text today offering to upgrade me to 64GB for £28 a month, albeit on a 12 month contract. Sounded like a bloody bargain to me, so called in and went for it. I actually got it for £25.20 a month, as I was lucky enough to get one of those brilliant CS guys you sometimes get who just make the whole process so much better (and he applied an extra 10% loyalty discount... )£25.20 for 64GB - I'm happy with that!

I've suffered it a lot on my iPhone 6 since they've started testing VoLTE in my area and switched on VoLTE Wifi handover. My fix is to put the phone into Airplane Mode and then switch on Wifi until Wifi Calling turrns on and then turn off Airplane Mode. Not sure if this will work on the 6P.
To be honest, it isn't a problem at home given near perfect 3G/4G coverage, but it's useful out and about (and on the Underground). She wouldn't think to check it was working, and nor would most people I expect. |

Yellow pins everywhere in the UK on the Status Checker at the moment.
EDIT: And they're gone! |
