BEWARE!!! Cell C WIFI calling a total scam! First of all I had to buy a special phone from Cell C supposedly capable of Cell C WIFI calling. Then you are supposed to buy airtime and convert it to a WIFI calling bundle which was supposedly done by the Cell C Cape Gate Staff. Needless to say none of this worked and within a week the airtime was depleted as the WIFI bundle never worked. Four days later after spending yet again hours at the Cell C Cape Gate shop and hours trying to get answers or action from the Cell C helpdesk we still have no answers or service. What a scam and a total waste of time and money! Please share this with everyone so that they can be warned not to fall for this scam!!!!
 
But it works for me and a few other people that I know. So how is it a scam?

Works for plenty of people so not a scam.

3 questions
- does your phone support wifi calling?
-is it on the list of phones supported by Cell C for wifi calling?
- were you connected to wifi ?
 
No, you must have a Wi-Fi Calling enabled cellphone to benefit from Wi-Fi Calling. Visit the Wi-Fi Handsets (make this a link) section to view the list of cellphones that support Wi-Fi Calling on Cell C.

Hahahaha make this a link xD

You don't have to buy WiFi calling bundle to use this feature. It will depleted from your airtime if no bundle is loaded.

Everything was working except one things. You need to activate WiFi calling on your account first. How did you activate WiFi calling?

Hi [email protected]

Does your device support Wi-Fi calling?

Please visit our website to check which devices support Wi-Fi calling.

There are no additional charges to use Wi-Fi Calling. You use your current plan and are charged according to your current rates when you make a call or send an SMS over a Wi-Fi network. If you have inclusive value or free value on your current plan, they will be used first. You need to be connected to a Wi-Fi network for the service to work.
