Who else thinks Fizz should add Wi-Fi calling? Would you use it?
Wi-Fi calling can be a game-changer, especially in areas with weak mobile signals. It’d be amazing if Fizz introduced this feature! Imagine crystal-clear calls even in basements or rural areas, as long as you're connected to Wi-Fi. What do you think? Would you find it useful, or is it not a big deal for you?

I realy hope they will add Wi-Fi calling! I contacted the support to ask last month. They said that they are thinking about adding this feature in a few months.

Hi @Ciroxa
This subject was long discussed in the forum, for sure the WiFi calling will be great, and since the VoLTE backend is available, we can expect to have the Wifi calling too.

From the messenger support. Its in french but I included the taduction since its the english side of the forum.
Thanks for that question.
Fizz does not have for this technology for the momment. Nevertheless, we are considering
to use it in the coming months.
We will keep you informed
As soon as everything is in order2 -
I mostly asked because someone else was told by the support team that Wi-Fi calling might be coming. I also find it weird that's why I asked to kinda confirm it.

I believe that they will be implemented since VoWiFi uses the same infrastructure as VoLTE.

I hope Fizz takes notice of this highly anticipated Wi-Fi calling feature and turns our wish into a reality!

Yes that would be awesome! Also mobiles compagnies that has Wi-Fi calling and that are under the Quebecor umbrella are known to not restrict Wi-Fi calling. By that what I mean is that most mobile compagnie restrict Wi-Fi calling to calls made in Canada but the other Quebecor compagnies allow you to also use Wi-Fi calling when abroad but you can only call to Canada. So you could be in England and call a canadien number using Wi-Fi calling. Since fizz is own by Quebecor I'm pretty sure they wont restrict Wi-Fi calling eighter that would be awesome!!

Would be interesting to have this option !

Yes this is a good feature.

I am obviously in the minority here :-)
I rarely, maybe once a year if that, make a voice call over the phone network. Any audio convos I have are with apps that use data.
If I needed to call an actual phone number where the Fizz signal was not good enough but wifi was available, I would use an app for that as well (Skype among others).
I do understand how valuable it would be in an emergency tho for rural customers
CheersBrad

Most carriers are planning to remove 3G connectivity some time in 2025 so it would be nice to have.
Parts of my home will drop calls if I go there so it would be a good addition.

That would be fantastic! This is my second month with Fizz - their support team's so wonderful and professional, not to mention their unique business model. With the Wifi calling feature, I'll have more reasons to stay. 😍😍🤩

In 99% of cases, the support team is unaware of new features and will not share any information about them. Fizz's history has shown that they only share information about new features when they are officially available.

With VoLTE already in the mix, it's like they’re just waiting for the green light to make it happen. Can’t wait to see it all come together!

Other providers has already had it on their network for a while, and since Fizz uses the same network, it will hopefully not require a lot of work to turn it on for Fizz. Most of the other carriers, even discount carriers, already have it.

It is prohibited to name another telecommunications company.

Sounds like Fizz is catching up fast! Hopefully, they’ll flip the switch soon and get it rolling without too much hassle! Fingers crossed for a smooth upgrade! 🙌

You're not alone, Brad! A lot of people are shifting to app-based calls these days. But you're right—Wi-Fi calling could be a lifesaver in areas with poor signal, especially for emergencies. Cheers to being prepared for all situations

That would definitely be a great addition! Wi-Fi calling could solve that issue and ensure you don’t miss important calls when you're at home

I posed this question last May, and I've noticed other members inquired about VoWiFi as far back as 2020. It seems Fizz's infrastructure has yet to be upgraded, I would wonder the rocket science behind it. Despite their assurances that "it will be rolled out in the coming months," we are still left waiting. It appears that opting for a economical service = No fancy stuff.

Unfortunately, Fizz is not the fastest at introducing new features. Limited resources I guess…
