Wifi Preferred Option
EE are the only provider to allow you to modify the setting on the device, all others prevent you from changing it (some hide it). I guess they don’t want their servers getting hit with to much traffic due to people choosing to use Wifi calling over 2G, 3G or VoLTE.
Yes. I have a dual SIM Samsung A70 and a smarty and EE sim in it. wifi preferred is an option for EE and not for Smarty. If I swap the sims around the capability follows the sim.
It's clearly a network issue and due to the often terrible indoor signal I constantly miss calls on the smarty sim due to it flicking between wifi and network constantly.
The EE sim just works flawlessly.
Getting someone at smarty to acknowledge this and heavens the thought get it fixed is a near pointless task as it will never happen.
I suppose best to use a real network for things that matter.
I'd guess SMARTY would need to invest time and money into getting device profiles/settings updated to allow/support the use of a Wi-Fi Calling preferred option on their network.
Maybe this is a reason why EE plans are generally more expensive than SMARTY's.
Not much money since RWG which are far smaller than smarty but also on the 3 network do it just fine.
And they are cheaper.
It's lack of interest / concern about user experience.BlueSmarties Not sure how they are cheaper with unlimited at £45 per month.
