Hi, if I buy a Samsung Galaxy A53 5G from Amazon, will it work with WiFi calling on O2, or do I have to buy it direct from O2 to get the correct firmware?

O2 stopped putting custom firmware on the phones they sell in 2018 or thereabouts - so you should be ok, @Arcall.

The models in here are not exactly current, either, so you might need to dig a bit here on O2 or forum websites: https://www.o2.co.uk/help/network-coverage-and-international/wifi-and-4g-calling

The article above does mention O2 specific firmware, now I read it more closely - check a couple of sources to be sure - I see on the forum that most Samsung models with the regular firmware versions work fine on O2: https://www.o2.co.uk/connectivity/wifi-and-4g-calling

Yes it will work.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Currently using:
Pixel 7a (O2 & Lyca), One Plus 6 (Sfr), iPhone 12 Pro Max (Vodafone)
