I used to be able to make calls from my Macbook Pro to non-IOS contacts via FaceTime audio calls. Now I can only contact folks with Apple phones but not others. I checked online and it says to enable "Wi-fi calling" under Settings->Phone (see below) - but it does not appear on my iPhone!

Apple Support says some providers block this feature. Is this true? IF yes then I'm leaving Maxis

You mean this?

Only Digi and Umobile have this feature..

Maxshit never has it ...

TQ for confirmation... i know where to go now ;-)

Welcome to Digi you mean?

Never heard of maxis has this function...

yup

Also they don't even have a volte in their massive network

celcom don't hv this function too

Yeah exactly.

Why need wifi call if ur plan got unlimited calls? Or it doesnt?

Maybe if no network coverage, can use wifi?

Avoid yellow man u will get more coverage

Im using Yellow Man in Labuan, pretty good. But Celcom is bad for me.

Is WiFi and Volte calls better quality than normal voice calls? I would imagine everyone on Maxis OnePlan not worrying about phone calls, unless of course they are to overseas numbers.

to be honest its better than normal voice calls. i tried YES VOLTE and quite impressed with the audio quality.

yeah bro. different area different speed. We use whats best in our area.

Oh OK. Never tried thus far.

Yea bro, yellow man not serve everybody the same way Pick nicely to avoid 2 years for regrets.

Experienced that during iPhone 4, ha ha... Anyways, heard they have improved since.

Dont make that happen again 2 years is long.

Ya, I did buy a prepaid to try and it wasn't great

Yea, I used to do that too, before i sign Maxis contract smart step, before we proceed.

Except that I tend to eventually misplace all these prepaid sim cards I bought for testing, haha...

I just change the plan from Digi to Maxis for testing. Then I find it is good, so I sign the contrAct with Maxis

Used Digi Wifi Calling and VoLtE.Its a game changer as don't have to worry about reception anymore

I can never get good coverage from DiGi at my housing area so it's not an option for me.

thats where Digi Wifi Calling helps, it doesn't matter what your reception is outside, it redirect all your calls via wifi.

Ah Ok. Thanks for the info, will try it sometime.

Is this VoLTE available for both Digi postpaid and Prepaid plans?

Actually it is not really like this, if the mobile signal is moderate or strong, it might change to normal cellular mode.

This is quite annoying, because if my iPhone 6s Plus is near to windows side, it might change to cellular mode, but when I'm inside the living room where there is no mobile signal, then sometimes it failed to change to wifi calling, and get no signal at all.

Does the call drops during the switch though?

Yes, it did

Maxis has higher quality call even without Wi-Fi calling.

Ya, expected.

Yeah, which is why I've never considered switching telcos even though they are expensive. Actually when you come to think of it, they aren't that expensive these days given the amout of data quota they provide. When I first subscribed to MOP128, it used to have only 3GB data

Maxis does not even have VoLTE until now. What a shame.

For frequent traveler ...love me, having wifi calling is superb. When i am overseas and connected to a fast enough wifi, i can make calls to family and business partners as if i never left the country, and receive them, without thisse roaming charges. Save a lot of money.

Im on umobile, with the free data roaming, seems the deal.

Sad that maxis don't have both volte and wifi calling.

I just use FaceTime or WhatsApp voice calls when overseas. Works enough for me.

how's the quality if compared to WhatsApp audio/facetime audio?

both using internet as medium

actually whatsapp voice quality can be crappy sometimes, and people normally prefer to use normal call.

Well so far when I'm on a strong WiFi signal, it's pretty OK, but of course it's not gonna be as good as a normal call, for sure

Your good wifi connection only contributes 50% of the good quality call, the other end must also have good internet connection too.

Why whatsapp audio is not as good as normal call because it does not have quality assurance, unlike normal call, whatsapp internet packet is not prioritize and does not have QOS control, so it is not perform good if internet line is congested, mobile calls such as VoLTE/Wifi calling can still have good quality even though the line is pretty congested.

let say I'm using umobile, when i turn on airplane mode but i connected to a wifi, did i still get call by other ppl? when i use wifi calling from oversea to call back to malaysia and charge normal rate?

Yes, you will still get call by other ppl as long as you are connected to wifi even it is on airplane mode (that is what I do now as it saves battery a lot)

When you are on wifi calling, your calls will be regarded as calling from Malaysia regardless where you are in the world

Being using Digi Wifi Calling for so many years. Last time I am always complaining for their poor signal before Digi introduce wifi calling.

Now my home is getting better even inside the basement floor. My home is using Unifi, because my home wifi connections are fast, excellent and stable.

Last time I have problems on receiving sms especially requesting TAC during bank online transfer. But now with wifi calling got no more sms reception delaying.

Using dtac WiFi Calling, it is useful

Just hate why Maxis doesn’t roll out VOLTE or WiFi Calling

Maxis will be launching VoLTE "sometime" in 2020.

That doesn't work even though it allows you to switch VOLTE on, maxis need to support it

Is there a reason maxis still hasn’t enabled this feature yet in 2020
Just moved from digi to maxis and noticed no more wifi calling ☹️

Maxis and celcom don’t have WiFi calling at the moment, for that, you’ll need to ask maxis... maybe because they want you to pay for roaming instead of using WiFi calling overseas


So far only maxis haven’t enabled VOLTE, celcom already have VOLTE(carrier setting is required)

It seems with iOS 15.2, wifi calling option is now avail for maxis

Good to see that!

but does it work ?

Wow you bring back the old post from year 2018. I still can see my last post at above since August 13 2019.

Last time my house area has poor coverage of slow connection by Digi but recently I was found that Digi at my house area suddenly speedup til around 140mbps. My house is using unifi 500mbps. That's why I always keep my phone connected to wifi and set this wifi calling option always enabled.

This option is quite useful especially for those who are living in poor 4G coverage area. Even if you want to talk by phone calls, the voice is more clear and stable. No more putus-putus or robot sound.

Send SMS or receive SMS also have no issue. Even sometimes my phone is showing "No Service" due to poor signal. I still can receive calls and SMSs by enabled the Wifi Calling option.

how we know it is working? i enabled it as well after update to iOS 15.2, maxis carrier profile now 49.0

simple, turn on airplane mode on your iPhone. if you still can make call, congratulate! Wifi Calling is working.

MAXIS is proud of their network coverage

How does this work? Like Skype, Viber, Whatsapp call?

Maxis VoWiFi is up now
