    Totally irrelevant, but I can confirm that Lebara(Vodafone) do support WiFiCalling on my cheapish and cheerful Poco (Xiaomi)phones.
    Is this something that recently started working? 

    Lebara weren't offering WiFiCalling as recently as January.

    It's not often I am right, but I'm wrong again!
    You are perfectly correct, they don't.

    Though as of today you are now correct  ;)

    Lebara have just announced that they have begun a rollout of Wi-FiCalling and VoLTE.

    I too have a MotoG62 on Lebara. I bought a Lebara SIM  after seeing it on MSE. I rang and asked  specififically if Lebarra supported WIFi calling on Moto g^2 s and was told YES. (it was working fine on BT)
    It now tuns out that only certain phones are supported on Vodaphone and the G60s IS NOT SUPPORTED.
    I too recently had the above email from Lebara re WiFi calling and VoLTE - BUT IT IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE FOR G60S
    i Wrote to MSE to ensure they clarified their recommendation for Lebara but nothing has happened.

    Lebaras list of supported phones IS NOT even the same as Vodaphones.
    And Vodaphone say it will only work if you buy the phone from them.

    I shall be leaving Lebara / Vodaphone once I find a suitable replacenement service

    As I said before - BUYER BEWARE.

    This is a symptom of the customisable nature of the android operating system.

    Which mobile device do you have?

  • Moto G60s wifi calling compatibility update.
    Have returned both my Lebara / Vodaphone SIMS and  purchased O2 SIMS after they confirmed WiFi was enabled.
    Installed the SIMS and guess what - No WiFi calling. Rang O2 who confirmed it was an extra - but agreed to enable it on both SIMS rather than me return the SIMS. Now happiy all up and running.

    The O2 SIMS via MSE were significantly cheaper than O2 direct - their 50Gb EU coverage SIM only was not even listed
    Pretty good for £12 a month
    Thank you Mr Lewis!

    It's normal that you have to contact O2 to enable Wi-Fi calling. 

    I went into my local shop for mine to be set up but did my wife's by calling their helpline. 

    In both instances it was up and running in around 10 minutes.
