iOS 8.3 brings support for EE’s Wi-Fi calling on recent iPhone models
For those of you rocking an iPhone 5c or later on UK carrier EE’s network, today’s iOS 8.3 update has brought support for the carrier’s recently-launched Wi-Fi calling feature.
An EE community manager confirmed that the recently-released iOS 8.3 update includes support for the carrier’s Wi-Fi calling feature on iPhone models ranging from the iPhone 5c up to the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. To enable Wi-Fi calling, you simply navigate to the Wi-Fi Calling option in the Setting menu where you’ll be presented with an option to turn the feature on. After enabling it, EE notes that it may take up to a day for Wi-Fi calling to be fully enabled on your device.
If you’re unfamiliar with Wi-Fi calling, it enables you to overcome poor cellular reception by using a Wi-Fi connection to place a call instead. EE just launched its Wi-Fi calling a few days ago, but it is currently limited to just a few specific devices.
