Have RWG enabled VOLTE and WiFi Calling?

For the first time ever I find my RWG phone is getting a signal at my home today and can make and receive calls.  Previously it has not been able to do that.

So i wonder if they have enabled VOLTE and WiFi calling as they have been saying they will for some time.  Their website still says it is not available yet.

anyone else with an RWG SIM able to confirm or deny this?

    Well something has changed very recently.  It used to be that the only EE signal I could receive at home was band 20, which is the one used for VOLTE and that band was not available if you did not have VOLTE and wifi calling in your package, as used to be the case with RWG.

    Further tests today says I can make and receive calls even with wifi calling disabled.  Network Info tells me I am making those calls on band 20.

    So my guess is band 20 is now included in the RWG coverage which hopefully also means this is in preparation for VOLTE and wifi calling to be enabled?

    Whatever it is, my RWG phone now works at home so that is a big step forwards.
