When will we be able to make Wi-Fi calls on the iPhone through Orange?

During the weekend those from Orange they launched the feature 4G call for iPhone, so that now the customers of the mobile phone operator can enjoy the option of making phone calls through the 4G network, while Vodafone and Telekom do not have such benefits for the time being.

I told you which iPhone is compatible with Orange's 4G call, and then the discussion went to the function Wi-Fi calling which can be activated in users' subscriptions and cards starting from Saturday, but the option to activate from iOS is not available to any user.

The explanation for the lack of completion Wi-Fi call activation for iPhone in Orange it's very simple: iOS doesn't have support for now. Although we can activate the Wi-Fi call service in the Orange servers, iOS does not have the necessary settings to allow us to use the technology in the operator's network.

The people from Orange told me that the launch of the Wi-Fi call function for the iPhone is a joint project that they are doing together with Apple, Orange doing its part, so now it remains for the iOS to be updated so that it knows how to allow us to use this function.

Basically, the ball is now in the field to those from Apple, so we have to be patient until they consider that the system can be launched, but in the meantime you can activate Wi-Fi calling for the iPhone in Orange, so that when the system is launched, you can use it direct.

Unfortunately, I can't tell you how long it will take until the Wi-Fi call function is officially launched by Orange and for the iPhone, so we have to be patient.

  1. Da, dar pentru fiecare operator trebuie facute niste setari in iOS ca sa sfie telefonul cum sa foloseasca Wi-Fi calling. Asa cum ai setari pentru MMS, internet, etc, ai si astea petnru Wi-Fi calling.

  2. E mai complicata relatia dintre un operator si un iPhone. Apple controleaza foarte multe aspecte ale modului in care sunt oferite serviciile GSM pentru iPhone sau iPad.

  3. Eeeh ce sa zic, apple e ocupata cu rezolvarea rahaturilor din ios si nu are timp de aceste “nimicuri”. Oricum eu nu activez nimic daca asta inseamna renuntarea la posibilitatea de a alege intre 2g/3g/4g

  4. VoWiFi este implementat in ios inca de la versiunea 8.3. Orange trebuie sa faca disponibil inca un carrier update pentru a activa wifi calling. Treaba asta nu prea are legatura cu Apple…

  5. Noul carrier update nu v-a incurcat cum arata numerele de telefon cand primiti apeluri?
    Nu mai este de forma +40(7xx)yyy yyy acum este +407xxyyyyyy fara paranteze, fara spatii.
    Nimeni nu a observat asta?
