WiFi Calling

JoeA — Mon, 12 May 2025 16:22:33 GMT

Hi, trying to reduce my elderly Mother’s phone bill, she currently has broadband and landline with international calling as added extra as she speaks to her family in Italy most days, I’m thinking of switching her over to full fibre that comes without a landline and is currently much cheaper than what she’s currently paying, my question is can she use her mobile phone to make calls to her family in Italy, to both mobile and landline phones using WiFi Calling? Her brother is much older than her and doesn’t have WhatsApp but has a landline and mobile. Thanks in advance

wifi calling is still part of the mobile contract. So it depends on what your mother's mobile provider charges for international calls ?

@JoeA

Does she currently use WiFi calling? If she does it'll continue to work on Full Fibre. Note that Full Fibre doesn't work during power cuts unless you have backup power for the ONT and router.

Is your mothers landline phone number important to her? If so, you might need to look at VOIP as well.

Have you checked the cost of calls to Italy from a mobile? I'm with Spusu. They give you 500 minutes/month to EU countries on all their packages after which Italy is 10p/minute, with the option to set a spending cap for extra usage. https://www.spusu.co.uk/plans. They piggy back on tha EE network. Just check that the phone is on the supported list. https://www.spusu.co.uk/vowifi
