Wifi calling
« on: August 04, 2018, 05:31:44 pm »
Hi guys, first post. I have a nasty feeling that this has been done a hundred times already, but I couldn't find it on the forum. Here goes...

I'm in an area with no cellular signal, but I have a nice new Planet Computers Gemini and a BT wifi router. According to BT, I can use 'wifi callling' to enable incoming calls to my cellphone number to be routed to wifi and thus to my Gemini.

But, in order to do that, I have to enable wifi calling, and I can't find how to do that on the Gemini's Android implementation. Can anyone help?

Best, NP.

Can't answer directly but perhaps a with a bit more info others can...

It's an international forum,  "BT" = British Telecom? (although you say "cellphone" rather than "mobile" so perhaps not  ) or Bluetooth or ....

In the UK this was possible on EE (network operator) but only on phones with their firmware   You might need an app from BT?  sounds like more of a question for google...

I'm also very much interested in Wifi calling, here with Telekom (T-Mobile) in Germany. As I read, this should be a standard feature since Android 5.x, but the providers always list only a few popular models as compatible (Iphones, Samsung, the usual).

To be specific: I am not talking about a special app from your telco provider, I do mean standard Wifi calling that one is supposed to find in Android settings (possibly only if a SIM with a supported network is active? My current provider does not offer Wifi calling. Before I switch, I would like to know if the Gemini supports it. I fail to see a reason why it should not, given it is an Android software feature. But you never know …
