I'm guessing you don't know what wifi calling is.

I have it on my iPhone X, You have to call them and ask them to activate VoLTE for you. You also have to enable it in your phone settings, thats when it will start working.

and just to confirm, you will also get SMS over this?

SMS's do come through when I'm on wifi calling yes...

One thing that doesn't work for me (when I only have wifi and no mobile signal at all) is ussd codes.

Bought a prepaid sim this weekend to test this out, however only LTE is active not VoLTE.
The wifi calling option is there but when enabled does nothing.

If only they had data prices in comparison to MTN or Axxess then I would have ported my main number over already.

Doubtful. SMS is a subset of GSM if I'm not mistaken

SMS most definitely works on Wi-Fi calling.

Interesting phrasing lol.

But yeah, googled it - seems LTE supports SMS like functionality.

For lack of a better word.

I didn't know it included SMS until one day when I was on airplane mode with Wi-Fi an SMS came through.

Vodafone is a strange case, they haven’t activated SMS on WiFiCalling yet, though from what I’ve heard it could be done soon. EE and Three both have it working for calls and texts.

Can't activate wifi calling at all never mind sms

Doesn't really matter I never call from that phone anyway (lol irony)

They’ve also got a ridiculously small selection of approved devices, and even the tariff plays a part as certain tariffs aren’t included either, (last time I checked).

It’s typical Vodafone customer dis-service .
