Its not clear what this is. No idea why you need a box. Normally its just switched on where the phone is capable of connecting via wifi. If you contact them about this please share the reply.

This sounds like the box that plugs into your router and emulates a low power cell to give coverage around your home. I thought that the major networks had just about done away with this hardware as it was not cost effective. I'm not sure if this would actually be available if one asked. The app that appears on the same page seems to be the Joyn app which can be used to account management.

Next weekend I'll put my RWG SIM in a modern phone which I know will work on WiFi calling with Three and have a play.

I'd say it's likely that this is a hangover page (which hasn't been updated properly) from when RWG was running on Three, as it had a FreedomPop style app back then, rather than the Joyn thingy it has now.

Not as yet, no. Mother EE is being a bit tardy enabling it for MVNOs who aren't Utility Warehouse and 1p Mobile. EE supports the VOLTE icon in the status bar though (some don't) so whenever it is enabled and available it'll show there.

Any update on this? Does WiFi calling work. To me at the moment it appears not.
