I have a Thai sim (AIS) enabled for WiFi calling so I can call Thailand from anywhere in the world. If I have WiFi using my Thai plan minutes.  
is there any reason ID mobile cannot do this, so I can call UK on WiFi calling from abroad, instead I just can use WiFi calling when inside the uk under poor phone signal conditions.  
Any comments ??

    Hi ​@Smilerid,

     

    Thanks for your question.

     

    At the moment, iD Mobile Wi-Fi Calling is intended for use in the UK. If you're in a country that's not included in iD Mobile's roaming destinations, such as Thailand, iD Mobile services won't work there unless you've purchased the appropriate roaming data add-on or have enough bill cap available for any applicable charges.

     

    As things stand, iD Mobile doesn't support using Wi-Fi Calling abroad in the same way that some overseas providers, such as AIS, do.

     

    We appreciate the feedback though, and it's certainly something we'd be happy to pass on.

     

    Regards,

    Hi Gemma, thanks for the the reply.

    International Wifi Calling would be an enormously cheap feature to add and would be a excellent  emergency calling option to call home from anywhere on your UK call plan. 

    Maybe something for the future….

    Cheers Paul

    Hi ​@Smilerid,

     

    Thanks for taking the time to share your suggestion.

     

    We can certainly see how International WiFi Calling could be a useful feature, especially as an emergency option when travelling abroad.

     

    We'll be sure to pass your feedback on to the relevant team for consideration. While we can't guarantee if or when it might be introduced, we really do appreciate you taking the time to let us know what you'd like to see in the future.

     

    Thanks again!

     

    Regards,

    If you need to call UK numbers over WiFi while abroad, another option is WorldDial.app.

    I built it for exactly this kind of situation. You can call normal UK landline and mobile numbers directly from your browser over WiFi, without relying on your mobile provider's WiFi Calling support.

    Full disclosure, I'm the founder. Your first minute is free, so you can try it without topping up first.
