Is it just the EE and Three that supports WiFi calling on my good ol' iPhone 5C?

 

I am thinking of moving from EE to O2 PAYG. WiFi calling is the only thing that is making me think twice. neutral

 

If O2 doesn't support WiFi calling on iPhone 5C running iOS 10.3.3, what are my options in cold dead spots around my office? worried

 

More info
EE seemlessly switches to EE WiFiCall as soon as I enter the glass doors.  zipper_mouth

No sorry, it's not supported.
Only those listed here https://www.o2.co.uk/connectivity/wifi-and-4g-calling
There's nothing else offered for PAYG either I'm afraid.

Ah thanks.

All three O2, EE and Three have terrible reception at my work place. Havn't given Vodafone a try yet.

Can anyone explain why O2 can't support the iPhone 5s on WiFi calling as other networks (like EE, Three) support it okay.  I don't want 4G calling - just WiFi calling to cope with the poor in home coverage of O2 where I live.

Probably best to ask that of @Chris_K
