IPhone 6 WiFi Calling

[Anonymous]

I noticed that Apple said that WiFi calling in the UK would be supported by EE. Anyone know if that is an exclusive deal, or can we expect O2 to offer the same in due course? Given the appalling reception for O2 I get in our house this would be a great feature.

Yeah but both in my name and on the same account.

Have you tried TuGo on the iPhone?

No, not recently.
It was tried when it first came out but it didn't work so deleted it.
The reports on here are enough to convince me that it's still no better.

I'm sure it isn't,  it's been given up on by the developers and with Apple's restrictions it will never function the same as android. I'm presuming you had the exact same problems we see on here time and again.

iPhone ha smajor privacy issues (bugs).  Reported over 2 years ago, 100% (not intermittent) bug.   Reprocduced and acknowledged by O2 and still not fixed.  I think they gave up TuGo development a long time ago.

They are very very behind the game of they are only at the point of doing market research on WiFi Calling.  Trouble is the O2 have for quite some time now been "very behind the game" technologically wise.  To you can appreciat why 3 what to buy their customers.  But I read the other day that the regulator is talking rather negatively about the purchase of O2 http://www.theguardian.com/business/2015/oct/07/ofcom-chief-expresses-concern-over-potential-o2-and-....  If the merger does not go ahead, O2 will have to really pull their fingers out big time if they are to stay around.

I'm still prevaricating about switching to EE.  If they were staying as EE then I'd already have switched for the WiFi Calling (given how un-reliable O2 seem, that O2 don't even have any idea about what they are or are not even doing ... and when a company gets like that it is going down the toilet.  Good employees realise and leave, bad employees don't realise or can't do the workforce talents plummet ...)

Anyway, BT are something of a disaster of a company so with EE becoming part of BT I have reservations.  But, given the lack of anything like any progress (with anything technology wise) from O2 I am coming round to EE/BT.

Yes, all the same issues.

Having to enter PIN to unlock screen before answering quickly enough was by far the worse one though.

My wife has EE WiFi calling and it is infinitely better than TuGo. O2, wake up and smell the daisies! Bin TuGo and adopt solid usable technology from Apple. Next week, do you think that's doable??

Doubt it but they have been talking about it a lot.. Some of our members like @jonsie never have a problem with TuGo but he has android phones. TuGo is not very clever with iPhones

it is in the pipeline for next year according to this article http://www.techweekeurope.co.uk/networks/broadband/o2-4g-spectrum-coverage-175194
