Be Aware : Wifi Calling CANNOT be prioritized.

So, even in 2023, I need to return my S23 Ultra because Telus disable the Wifi calling priority . 

Instead I have only the option to prioritize the mobile network. 

I live in Montreal and Telus has 0 coverage in my area. And the moment I get near a window, the cellphone signal pickup and kickme out of the Wifi Calling. So calls stops, and won't reconnect automatically on Wifi Calling ! 

I spoke with 3 tech, and one of them the call cut because of this !

 

Only option : toggle airplane mode, Sure on a 1900$ cell phone and on a complete plan. 

The tech told me : this is to unload our server .  OK, but it makes the whole wifi calling idea useless.

 

Look, I'm a dataceter designer (MEP) and Quebec electricity cost is so low that you can afford more servers, call me, I'll hook you up.

      Wrong. 

      Engineer from Telus confirm this , and do a simple google search.

       

      To prove my point I took time to stop a Videotron shop and the option ''magically appeared'' on my Telus phone by a simple SIM swap . 

       

  • UPDATE of the day 

    BTW to let you know, airplane mode does NOT work , here why : 

     

    • go put the trash out, few meters from my home, airplane mode, get back in the house, wifi calling WON’T reconnect automatically , missed a call. 
    • get the kid from school, forgot to toggle back off airplane mode, : missed a client call. 

    This is bs, ‘’ we we have wifi calling, but the way we implement it defeat the whole purpose’’ 

    welcome in the future - with a 1900$ device
