Buying from 3rd party seller & wi fi calling

[coopertrooper80]

Hi,

I am looking to buy a Google Pixel 5 and take out a new contract. Due to signal issues at home I must have wi fi calling.

I am looking to purchase a brand new phone from either mobiles.co.uk or carphonewarehouse. 

Can anyone tell me for certain if Wi Fi calling will work as the phone is not being bought from Vodaphone directly?

Thanks,

Mike.

Hi @coopertrooper80 

Google phones do not have any Vodafone branding or software, the same way as iphones, the Google Pixel 5G is on the link as being supported for WiFi calling with SMS here: WiFi Calling 

There is also a previous thread here where it is working:

Is Vodafone the best choice for you? If you have signal issues at home have you checked out other networks? VoWiFi isn't always that reliable.

I purchased a Google Pixel 5 from Carphone warehouse and it worked perfectly.
