mbudget wifi calling / Samsung S7
Hello everyone,
I thought the topic had already been discussed here, but unfortunately I couldn’t find it.
We absolutely need wifi calling because the reception at our house is very poor. We were about to switch to another provider that supports wifi calling. Today, however, I came across information on the mbudget site that WIFI calling is supported in the subscription models. (see below).
Now I’ve tried everything on my cell phone and the option (on Samsung it’s probably called WLAN calls) doesn’t appear. I’ve already contacted customer service, but they don’t see a problem and say it’s not their fault and I should contact Samsung. We have the Samsung Galaxy S7 model with Android 8.0 (Oreo).
The option should be found under Settings -> Connections -> Additional connection settings - WLAN calls. Unfortunately, it ends after the “VPN” entry. I googled a lot and it turns out that the function is available with this cell phone model from Android 7 onwards.
My guess was that the SIM card didn’t support this and that a new one was needed, but the lady on the phone said no. Otherwise, the WLAN for data works without any problems.
Ev, does anyone have an idea?
Oh well, WIFI calling works at home (my business cell phone iPhone 6S, Swisscom business subscription).

The Voice over LTE (VoLTE) and WiFi calling technologies are available with the M-Budget Mobile subscription. However, this service is not available for M-Budget prepaid numbers.
In principle, no device settings are necessary for VoLTE technology, which enables telephony in the 4G network and improves the quality of calls.
WiFi calling must first be activated manually in the device’s menu. WiFi calling is then managed by the device itself.
If after enabling WiFi Calling you notice that you are having more interruptions during your calls than before, we recommend that you disable this feature.
WiFi Calling calls are billed as calls from the mobile network. WiFi calling is currently only available in Switzerland.

If the option does not appear on the phone, it is likely that your device does not support this feature.
