vodafone wificall cannot send sms

[pocpot]

Just got my new iPhone 6s today. Needed wifi calling...the area I live in get no signal at all. So phoned voda got wifi calling all set up. Great stuff......

So im able to make a call. Problem is none of my sms messages will send. I cannot find any info on the Internet nor anyone who has had the same problem.

I've gone upstairs and leant out the window, turned off wifi calling, sms sends fine.

Anyone had the same problem / found a solution?

Cheers

Sorry, but you said you could see no benefit in trying out another network for free as you were completely satisfied with the service you receive on Vodafone.

Myself and others have pointed out several aspects of the Vodafone coverage that are inferior to other networks that you seem to dismiss.  Yet, you seem to agree about Cornwall.  

Your comment about poulation density is exactly correct, yet that does not stop other networks, EE in particular, from having an excellent service in these areas, like Cornwall.

The whole point of a mobile network is to allow people to communicate when they are mobile, and that does not nesessarily mean being in urban areas.

There is no doubt in my mind that outside urban areas, Vodafone falls way below the standard set by EE.

Take the train from Paddington to Truro and see how you get on with your ability to conduct business over Vodafone's 3G network.  Then, for the journey back, get a freee EE sim and try doing the same.  I'm pretty sure that then you won't be feeling quite so smug about Vodafone's coverage.

By the way, the journey is probably around 300 miles, so you will be experiencing the difficulties over quite a chunk of the country.

 I'm dismissing them in the same way that you are dismissing the fact that I have good service pretty much everywhere I go and while I haven't been to Cornwall in a while I do travel a lot and not just in and around London where I live and work. Those areas would include Wiltshire and Bristol as well as Scotland and the Midlands.

Different companies make different investment decisions. For instance, there is no cable TV and broadband where I live. I live in a densly populated area of Essex in a town with tens of thousands of people.

Some things are an opinion, and some things are facts, but if you want to shut your eyes to facts, then that's fine by me.  Take my train challenge and see if you feel the same.

Regarding the comparison with cable TV, that has no relevance to the discussion here, but you are right, different companies do make different investment decisions, and Vodafone has made the deicsion not to invest in a nationwide 3G/4G network to the same extent that other networks, e.g. EE, have.

[jeffkinn]

It's funny how your views are facts whereas mine are opinions based on shut eyes.

Have a good evening.

[igmackenzie]

It is a fact that EE has better 3G/4G coverage of the UK than Vodafone outside of urban areas.

That's all I am saying.

If you want to dispute that, then go ahead.

[jeffkinn]

Please point out where I have disputed that idea. 

[igmackenzie]

I didn't say you had disputed it, I was asking if you wanted to dispute it!

Anyway, this is becoming all rather petty, so let's just stop now.

Voda at their best. Now started charging me for a free service that's included as part of my contract. I take my hat off to you. You find new ways each month to ##~## me off.....here goes yet again another phone call.

[pocpot]

I've found voda to give fairly good coverage in areas I commute and work daily compared to ee probably better. However as soon as my contract ends voda will not see me for dust. Absolute inferior customer support, Bill wrong every month, another call to a foreign call centre that do and understand naff all. I'm still about 150 out of pocket which I'm owed and Every month a promise to credit my account which never happens. Sick of the useless amateur company to the back teeth. I will always back any other network and discourage voda to anyone that dares promote the sack of poo they provide, even if their coverage ain't the same.

The IMS status show that it's only Voice enabled.  I hope Vodafone will implement this soon  I missed being able to text using underground wifi
