Enable Wi-Fi calling on Galaxy A6 using a PAYG sim only

Fastship — Sat, 23 Nov 2024 09:42:34 GMT

I am in "deadspot" with no signal but I have fiber internet. I want to enable Wi Fi calling. Wi-Fi is enabled on my device and connects to my Sky Router just fine.

My phone connects to my hub and works well but not for calling in or out bound nor can I receive texts. My O2 wants to send me a verification code to log in which of course, I can't receive.

Searching forums the only solution I find is that O2 need to activate Wi Fi calling on my account but I can't log in as I can't get the verification code. A customer services numbe. 202 is given but it doesn't work (no signal?).

I am not sure that is accurate. Several posts on these forums dispute that.

From the O2 website:

You should, however, check that your device is running O2 firmware. This is the software that makes your handset turn on and off – and, sometimes, there will be different versions for the same device. WiFi and 4G Calling only work on Android devices using O2 firmware.

How do I enable 4G and Wifi Calling on my device

First, you'll need to add Wifi and 4G Calling to your account. It's quick and easy to do too.

For personal customers, please sign into My O2 and go to Device Details. From there, tap Wifi and 4G Calling – this is where you'll be able to add these features to your account.

It's 100% accurate, as I'm sure other long term members will verify

You can have it on a SIM only contract (that's my set up) but not a SIM classed as PAYG, such as a rolling plan.

What plan are you on?
