        To make calls over Wi-Fi, eligible TPG Mobile customers need:

        • To make sure your phone is running the latest software;
        • 4G Voice & Data (VoLTE) turned on in your phone settings;
        • Wi-Fi Calling turned on in your phone settings;
        • Wi-Fi turned on in your phone settings; and
        • To be connected to a Wi-Fi network.
          Note: Public Wi-Fi networks may not work with Wi-Fi Calling as they may have firewalls that restrict access to Wi-Fi Calling.

        When you’re on a Wi-Fi call, you'll see a Wi-Fi call icon next to the Wi-Fi signal bar on your phone screen.

        My device isn't listed. When will Wi-Fi Calling be available?

        All devices listed above have been tested with the Wi-Fi Calling technology to ensure the best possible experience. As we progress, more devices will be tested and become Wi-Fi Calling compatible.

        We’ll update our compatible device list as more devices become available.

        Earlier models of devices listed in our compatible device list will not be made Wi-Fi Calling compatible.

         

        Using Wi-Fi Calling

        Where can I make Wi-Fi Calls from?

        As long as VoLTE & Wi-Fi Calling is turned on in your phone settings and your phone is connected to Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Calling will be used automatically whenever your phone has limited iiNet Mobile coverage.

        I'm in an area with iiNet Mobile coverage. Will I be able to make a Wi-Fi Call?

        If iiNet Mobile coverage is available, you'd need to turn on Airplane Mode and connect to Wi-Fi to force Wi-Fi Calling to be used instead.

        Is there any change to the way I make or receive calls on my phone using Wi-Fi Calling?

        There's no change to the way you make calls over Wi-Fi Calling to another mobile phone.

        However, Wi-Fi Calls to a landline phone need you to enter the area code (e.g. "02 9000 1234" instead of just "9000 1234"), even if you're in the sate state or territory.

        Can I call emergency services with Wi-Fi Calling?

        No. Special numbers that connect based on location services like 000 emergency services or 1300/1800 numbers may not connect to the correct location over Wi-Fi Calling, or may not connect at all. We recommend turning off Wi-Fi Calling before calling 000 emergency services or 1300/1800 numbers.

        What happens to calls when I enter or leave Wi-Fi coverage?

        If you leave Wi-Fi coverage during a Wi-Fi Call, the call will seamlessly transition to the iiNet Mobile network, provided coverage is available. If iiNet Mobile coverage is not available, then the call will be disconnected.

        Can I use Wi-Fi calling while International Roaming?

        No, Wi-Fi Calling is not available outside Australia.

        What internet speed is needed for Wi-Fi Calling to work?

        Wi-Fi Calling only needs a speed of 100-120kbps. However, internet services with high latency (i.e. delays sending data from one point to another) such as Satellite broadband may reduce your call quality.

        Can I use Wi-Fi Calling on a VPN?

        Yes. Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) will work as long as they don’t have a firewall that restricts access to Wi-Fi Calling.

         

        Additional information

        Are there extra charges for Wi-Fi Calling?

        There are no additional fees for Wi-Fi Calling. All calls and SMS/MMS are charged at the standard rates for your iiNet mobile plan.

        Does Wi-Fi Calling use data?

        Yes, Wi-Fi Calling uses data over the Wi-Fi connection, which will affect the data allowance for that internet service (if applicable) or be charged based on the agreement with the internet service provider for the Wi-Fi network.

        Wi-Fi Calling does not affect your iiNet mobile data allowance.

        Is Wi-Fi Calling secure?

        Yes. Wi-Fi Calling uses the same authentication as a call over our mobile network. Our current supported devices enable a secured connection that will ensure all calls and text messages are encrypted.

        Can I differentiate between Wi-Fi calls and standard calls on my bill?

        Yes. The call record on your bill will state ‘Over Wi-Fi’. Calls made over Wi-Fi will be displayed in AEST/AEDST time.

        Will emergency calls work while using Wi-Fi Calling?

        Yes. However, if you’re on a Wi-Fi connection, emergency services may not know your location. If possible, we recommended switching off Wi-Fi Calling in your device settings, connecting to any available Australian mobile network, and dialling the emergency number (000 or 112) again.

         

        Terms and Conditions

        To use Wi-Fi Calling, you need an active iiNet prepaid mobile plan, a compatible mobile phone, have 4G voice calls (VoLTE) enabled, have Wi-Fi Calling settings turned on, and access to a Wi-Fi connection. You can turn off Wi-Fi Calling through your mobile phone settings.

        There are no additional fees to use Wi-Fi Calling, however, you will be charged your normal plan rates to make calls or send messages (TXT or PXT) using Wi-Fi Calling (the same way you are charged to make calls, TXT or PXT on the mobile network). Your use of Wi-Fi will count towards your internet use, so you may incur charges from your internet service provider. Calls or TXTs using Wi-Fi Calling will appear on your usage history as “Over Wi-Fi” and the time the call or TXT was made may default to AEST/AEDT.

        You cannot use Wi-Fi Calling while roaming overseas. You may not be able to use Wi-Fi Calling on some public or corporate Wi-Fi networks. You may not receive National Emergency Warning System (NEWS) TXT warnings when you are using Wi-Fi Calling.

        While you can make calls to emergency services using Wi-Fi Calling if there is no mobile coverage available, we recommend you make 000 or 112 calls using a mobile network if possible as this will provide a more accurate location to emergency services.
