The reason i switched is my previous operator never managed to get wifi calling to work even thought they said is should. And as far as i can tell (please tell if you know otherwise) 1P Mobile are the only MNVO to offer wifi calling and VoLTE (RWE say they will soon)In most cases with these if your handset supports it then you'll get it, most obvious exception to this appears to be Sky Mobile where if your handset is not on their supported list then you won't get it - even when your handset would support it.0 -
It's all very well changing to a network that piggybacks another. The trouble is that you might not get all the features of a full network.
e.g. You can't use the 5-digit text numbers on Plusnet Mobile0
