WiFi Calling requested for Moto G7+

Thank you for your reply Mohammed. So from what you say, WiFi Calling is solely a marketing tool to encourage users to purchase/upgrade to iD Mobile supplied devices. As we are all aware mobile signal reception (regardless of the 99% population coverage claimed by many providers) is patchy in many areas. In the house where I live I can move from room to room & I can be in other buildings around my local area and the network signal disappears leading to missed calls and SMS. Therefore WiFi Calling should be a basic Network Provider service available to any device that is capable of WiFi Calling, such as the G7+ Further, that Network Providers are able to limit WiFi Calling to specific devices (those devices vary from  network to network) indicates that it is the Network Provider limiting access to WiFi Calling. In this day and age of “connect to anything anywhere” this is not good enough!

WiFi Calling requested for Moto G7+

@Gregor  I’m afraid I disagree. My G7+ was purchased SIM FREE and therefore bears no network specific firmware. Please explain why my G7+ showed that WiFi Calling was active when a three or four year old EE SIM (originally obtained for signal reception testing in a Moto G3) was placed in my G7+? Also Mohammed quoted “End of Line product”. This reason does not hold water either as iPhones as old as 5S are supported. You can’t get much more End of Line than that lol. This is a matter of the Network Provider not flicking the required switch so that when the Network identifies my G7+ sending an network access request to iD Mobile, it allows WiFi Calling if needed. We are becoming more and more aware of the ability of communications providers to interrogate our devices (cookies and all manner of tracking, fingerprinting, web beacons etc.). Something I have known of a few years now through experience and research. I repeat that WiFi Calling is solely a marketing tool to encourage users to pu

WiFi Calling requested for Moto G7+

@Gregor I am not here to argue either, I also feel that you are antagonistic in implying that I am upset lol. I am merely stating my case as I believe it with the facts at my disposal. Thank you for quoting what worked for you in your instance having bought a REFURBISHED phone which you then seemingly ROOTED to enable you to install custom ROM’s. You have failed to address the points that I specifically made. My phone was purchased brand new, has the latest updates as far as software goes. It is NOT rooted. Once again I state that an EE SIM installed in my G7+ gives the option of WiFi Calling. Therefore a device which shows WiFi Calling available on one network will work on any network provided that the NETWORK PROVIDER allows it and the device is capable. I state again that iD Mobile only allow WiFi Calling for devices that they supply. To any other users that may view this thread please note the issue is not solved as Gregor mentioned in another users thread. False information should

WiFi Calling requested for Moto G7+

The fundamental point I make (again) is that a device (Moto G7+) which is capable of WiFi calling, and does so on one network (EE) with no change in any software on the device, but not another network (idmobile), proves that access to WiFi calling is a NETWORK PROVIDER controlled optionMost likely the network restricts access to WiFi calling where the device is identified from it's number/IMEI, as being on a database of restricted devices. In the case of idmobile, they provide WiFi calling, BUT only on devices that they sell.If the phones that network providers sell which allow WiFi calling were the ONLY phones capable of WiFi calling, then different network providers would all be selling an identical WiFi calling capable range of phones. They don't!You fail to disprove any of that, preferring to indicate your alleged knowledge of how to bypass Network Provider restrictions by rooting/flashing/hacking/replacing part of, or all of the OEM software on a refurbished WiFi capable device in
