Why is wifi calling not available on Pay as You Go? The O2 mobile network is currently down in our area.

Good question, and O2 is not the only network to impose that restriction, @rpiMike 

https://www.o2.co.uk/help/network-coverage-and-international/wifi-and-4g-calling - down in the FAQ section:

I guess you could move to the cheapest SIM-Only contract and get it, handset permitting, for not much more than the 10/month cheapest PAYG?

Probably because the ARPU on PAYG is so low, that there is no return on investment.

Average revenue per unit.

In English, it means O2 don't make enough off PAYG.

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.
