Along with VoLTE (Voice over LTE), Wi-Fi Calling is here to upgrade the humble phone call. As the name suggests, it lets you make and receive calls over Wi-Fi, as well as sending and receiving texts over it. That could be handy if you’re somewhere with little or no mobile signal, such as the London Underground, a place which notably has free Wi-Fi available in stations – although parts of that do now have mobile signal too.
EE, Vodafone, O2 and Three each offer Wi-Fi Calling in some form, as do most MVNOs (Mobile Virtual Network Operators), but it’s not available on all networks or on all phones.
Read on for a rundown of which networks offer Wi-Fi Calling and each network’s approach to it. Note though that in all cases Wi-Fi Calling may not work if you haven't bought your phone directly from the network in question.

1pMobile
1pMobile offers Wi-Fi Calling across its plans, and while it doesn’t have a dedicated Wi-Fi Calling support page, we’d expect it will work with most modern handsets.
Asda Mobile
Asda Mobile was later to offer Wi-Fi Calling than most networks but it does now, and this should work an any and all phones that are capable of supporting Wi-Fi calling, meaning most recent Android phones and iPhones, and many older ones as well.
To use it, you’ll just have to enable Wi-Fi Calling on your phone’s settings screen, though note that new Asda Mobile customers will have to wait seven days before it’s available to them.
To find out more about Wi-Fi Calling on Asda Mobile, head here.
EE
EE also offers Wi-Fi Calling, with no separate apps or accounts involved, so calls and texts will come through via your standard dialler and SMS apps, they’ll just use Wi-Fi to do so if you’re connected to a Wi-Fi network.
EE’s Wi-Fi Calling service is available to all customers with a “compatible device,” which presumably just means any phone that is capable of supporting Wi-Fi Calling, which almost all modern smartphones are. However, you can check out EE’s device guides for confirmation of whether a phone will offer Wi-Fi Calling on its network or not.
Find out more about EE Wi-Fi Calling here.
Giffgaff
Giffgaff is very late to the Wi-Fi Calling party, but as of October 2024 it has finished rolling out support for this feature.
It’s available on iPhones from the iPhone XS onwards, Samsung Galaxy S phones from the Galaxy S21 onwards, and many other handsets.
For more information, check out Giffgaff’s Wi-Fi Calling page here.
Honest Mobile
Honest Mobile also supports Wi-Fi Calling, and you can get it on many phones from the iPhone 6 onwards, the Samsung Galaxy S20 onwards, and various Google, Honor, Huawei, Motorola, Nokia, and TCL handsets.
For a full list and other Wi-Fi Calling information, head here.
iD Mobile
iD Mobile was one of the first MVNOs to offer Wi-Fi Calling and you’re getting true, app-free Wi-Fi Calling with it.
It’s not available for all phones, but it is available for a lot, including the iPhone 15 range, iPhone 14 range, iPhone 13 range, iPhone 12 range, iPhone 11 range, iPhone 5S, iPhone SE (3rd Gen), iPhone SE, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus, iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone X, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR and a selection of Android handsets, such as the Samsung Galaxy S24 range, Samsung Galaxy S23 range, Samsung Galaxy S21 range, Galaxy Note 20, Google Pixel 5, Pixel 4 range, Galaxy S10, Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus, Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus, Sony Xperia 1, Xperia 1 II, and Huawei P40 Pro, among others.

Lebara
Lebara supports Wi-Fi Calling but notes that you’ll be notified once it’s enabled on your phone after joining the network.
Then – assuming you have a compatible smartphone, which most modern ones are – you just need to turn on the Wi-Fi Calling toggle in its settings screen.
Lebara doesn’t keep a list of which phones work with Wi-Fi Calling, but it’s likely to be the same selection as Vodafone (detailed further down) as it uses that network’s infrastructure.
To learn more about Wi-Fi Calling on Lebara, head here.
Lyca Mobile
Lyca Mobile hasn’t officially confirmed support for Wi-Fi Calling, but a number of customers report that it works for them, so it may well do so for you as well. That said, if you want to be confident that Wi-Fi Calling will work for you, we’d suggest trying one of the other networks on this page instead.
O2
O2 was the last major network to launch a Wi-Fi Calling service, and the network claims that this works on all the 4G and 5G devices that it now stocks.
If you have a supported handset with the latest software then Wi-Fi Calling will be a toggle that you can enable on your phone’s settings screen. After that it will work automatically whenever you’re on a Wi-Fi network. Note also that some Android devices need to be using O2 firmware in order for Wi-Fi Calling to work.
Find out more about O2 Wi-Fi Calling here.
Sky Mobile
Sky Mobile is one of the more recent networks to offer Wi-Fi Calling and currently it works on many but not all handsets. At the time of writing you need an iPhone 6 or later with iOS 12.3 or above, or one of a number of Android handsets, including but not limited to a Samsung Galaxy S8 or later, Galaxy Note 10, Galaxy Note 10 Plus, Galaxy Z Fold 2, Sony Xperia 1, Xperia 5, Xperia 10, Huawei P30 or Huawei P30 Pro.
To guarantee it will work you’ll also need to have got your handset from Sky Mobile. You can find out more about Sky Mobile Wi-Fi Calling here.
Smarty
Smarty was later to switch on Wi-Fi Calling than many networks, but it offers the service now, and as with most it’s app-free. To make it work, you just need to ensure you have the latest software on your phone, then in most cases you’ll need to enable Wi-Fi Calling on your phone’s settings screen.
However, as with other networks it isn’t compatible with all phones here. Compatible phones include the iPhone 6 onwards, the Samsung Galaxy S24 range, the OnePlus 10 Pro, and a number of other handsets.
Find out more about Smarty Wi-Fi Calling here.
Spusu
With Spusu, you can access Wi-Fi Calling on numerous handsets, including iPhones from the iPhone XS onwards, Samsung smartphones from 2020 and later, and a number of Xiaomi, OnePlus, Oppo, Realme, and Motorola devices.
For a full list and Spusu-specific Wi-Fi Calling support, head here.
Talkmobile
All Talkmobile customers have access to Wi-Fi Calling, as long as they have a compatible device, with the selection of compatible devices likely being the same as on Vodafone, since this network is owned by Vodafone.
Note however that you must be on Android 12 or higher or iOS 15.4.1 or higher. Then, you can just enable the Wi-Fi Calling toggle on your phone’s settings screen.
To find out more about Wi-Fi Calling on Talkmobile, head to the network’s help page and type ‘Wi-Fi Calling’ into the search box.
Tesco Mobile
Tesco Mobile was one of the last MVNOs to activate Wi-Fi Calling, but it’s available now.
To guarantee Wi-Fi Calling will work, you’ll need to be a Pay Monthly customer with a device bought from Tesco Mobile, and only select devices are guaranteed to support it, with the current selection including the Samsung Galaxy S24 line, the iPhone 16 line, and a number of other phones.
To find the full list and for more details about Wi-Fi Calling on Tesco Mobile, head here.
Three
Three also offers true, app-free Wi-Fi Calling for calls and texts.
On most modern phones it should work automatically, and it’s available on the majority of recent devices if you’re with Three, though as with a lot of other networks it may not always work if you didn’t purchase your phone from Three.
Find out more about which devices support Three Wi-Fi Calling here.
Vodafone
Vodafone’s Wi-Fi Calling service is similar to most others, in that it works seamlessly without the need for a separate app. You simply need to have a compatible handset and eligible plan (which most plans are) and then to enable Wi-Fi Calling in the phone’s settings. Once that’s done, you’ll be able to make and receive calls as normal, but over Wi-Fi when available.
Vodafone Wi-Fi Calling is available on the iPhone 6S through to the iPhone 14 range, the Samsung Galaxy S22 line and many earlier models, and many other devices. It’s likely that it’s also available on more recent Samsung and Apple phones, and that the network’s list just hasn’t been updated.
iPhones should work with Vodafone’s Wi-Fi Calling wherever you buy them from, but Android devices in most cases won’t work with it if bought from another network.
Find out more about Vodafone Wi-Fi Calling here.
VOXI
VOXI supports Wi-Fi Calling on all the same phones as Vodafone, meaning the likes of the iPhone 14 range, the Samsung Galaxy S22 range, and many other devices.
You’ll also need to make sure you have the latest software on your phone and that Wi-Fi Calling is enabled on the settings screen, then it should just work automatically while you’re connected to a Wi-Fi network.
See which phones are compatible with VOXI Wi-Fi Calling here.
