Why doesn't Wifi calling include SMS and MMS messages?

[Loony22]

exactly that, wifi is great but i have such low signal indoors that sometimes cant even send a text message.

You could try sending messages over wifi using apps such as FB messenger WhatsApp or Viber

We have asked why O2 have chosen not to include sms like other networks have but not had a response as yet.
@Martin-O2 any update on this please?

Only EE and Three allow SMS over wifi I believe.

Vodafone don't at present, but allow Wifi calling when over seas

o2 are using just calling at present and making sure it's right,  but you can use Wifi calling when overseas.

i was hoping that o2 wifi calling and SMS would replace the TU go app all together.

They are still going to keep TU as another option

Mate, you can't use it overseas accotding to their help pages.

Can I use Wifi and 4G Calling to make calls abroad?

No, but you can use O2 Travel to make cheaper calls while you’re abroad. If you’re an O2 Business customer you can use O2 Travel in Europe or our Rest Of World 24 Hour Pass to stay connected while you’re away.

Sorry @MI5

its auto correct. 

Yep you CAN NOT use wifi and 4G calling when overseas.

you can use Wifi and 4G calling from the UK where possible to call overseas. But you will be charged the standard rate for calling which ever country your calling
