So I just got back from Singapore, and found that DiGi WiFi Calling is enabled in Singapore. Made some calls back to KL, and my roaming minutes were unaffected.

Is WiFi Calling enabled in any other countries? I was in a couple of other countries earlier this month, but WiFi Calling didn't appear elsewhere... maybe it's a new change?

Yes I guess so. The WiFi calling has been there since the 11.3 was released.

I am using it in Taiwan too.

If there are any changes, they're fairly new... When I was in Thailand in April, no WiFi Calling while roaming yet. Spent April with my DiGi SIM in a non-WiFi Calling phone, spent this month in a bunch of non ASEAN countries and had no WiFi Calling either.

Just trying to figure out if it's an ASEAN only rollout (could be up to two months old) or if it's worldwide (but very recent).

On Sunday, my phone was in the house all day with aeroplane mode on but with WiFi on also.

The VoWiFi feature on my Huawei phone meant I could still make/receive calls/SMS without the cellular signal on.  This has proved to be a great battery saver as I can leave the phone on WiFi-only mode.

Interesting... didn't realize they've started to roll out the feature for other phones. Coincides with VoWiFi overseas as well maybe...

DiGi WiFi Calling seems to be working overseas now. So far, it's appeared on my phone in SG, HK, JP (and it works). Test it in other countries soon tongue.gif

It eats into your local minutes when you are on WiFi Calling is it ? So if you are on unlimited plan, you don't have to pay roaming fee when making or accepting calls overseas ?

I believe so... In addition, making IDD calls from overseas if you have an IDD addon (like the free 60 minutes that you get with DiGi Family) is taken from your IDD addon minutes... so wherever you are with WiFi calling, you can call the IDD countries like you would in Malaysia. Hopefully WiFi calling is enabled worldwide... would be really useful (and cost effective).

Looks like WiFi Calling is working everywhere now... Been travelling a bit and it’s active in every country so far. Saves a bit of money on calls to/from KL, besides being able to make IDD calls to supported countries from the IDD bundle from my existing minutes without roaming charges.
