But does EE pay for the bill for the WiFi use? I don't think so and to say there is 98% coverage when they include wifi in the mix is false advertising!

The thread you'd replied to was coming on for 2years old and was quite outdated.

WiFi-calling is now EE's preferred solution for indoor coverage issues and that's replicated across all operators. 98% population coverage is a rather outdated figure.

Hi @Tmd_63 @bristolian 

The updated  coverage figures are: 

EE's mobile coverage in the UK reaches:

• Population: 99% of the UK population
• Landmass: 88% of the UK's landmass
• England: 94% of England
• Northern Ireland: 89% of Northern Ireland
• Scotland: 87% of Scotland
• Wales 86% of Wales

Thanks

@Tmd_63 : No, but how you source the WiFi for use by WiFi Calling is down to you & your situation. It could be the Broadband in your home which you'll be already paying for or a WiFi hotspot in a café, hotel, bus or train which is often free as you partake of their core services or occasionally needs to be paid for.

I must not use any outside source due to security issues Any external source of WiFi that is not secured via a 3rd party VPN is dangerous and open to theft!

the figure of 88% UK Landmass would be correct as there is not WiFi over a larger area.

I'm not sure what point you're actually making here, or whether you realised you've replied to a post from September 2024!

Why would EE forum keep an old post and not lock it to stop further posts? Unless it is open. The issue I have is that I lose all signal when I go outside and now the app refuses to connect unless I use my own internet and NOT EE's but EE does not pay for the use of our WiFi? I have to pay for my internet but EE gets it free??

@Tmd_63   to put it in simple terms.

I'm not sure whether you're taking issue with WiFi-calling or the myEE app, I'll presume the former.

WiFi-calling is provided as an inclusive service within your subscription, and EE maintain the core network elements required - 100% national indoor coverage is not likely to ever happen, so VoWiFi is provided as a mitigation.

The data usage is extremely minimal compared with other uses, but if you'd rather not allow the WiFi-calling service to use your broadband, you're free to disable it. You would have to accept the loss of indoor coverage that may result.
