Wifi calling - Text messages

[machare]

Does Vodafone Wifi calling allow text messages to be sent and received?  If not when will it be enabled?

Being able to receive text messages has become very important as many banks send codes to a mobile which have to be entered to login to their web sites.

No unfortunately @machare 

There hasn't been any official information from Vodafone that they will add it at a later date.

Thank you for the prompt reply.  That is a pity especially as other operators do allow it.

It appears that with Apples iOS 14.3 update released yesterday, text messages can now be sent over WiFi calling. The change may have happened for other phones as well.

Is that definitely SMS messages, or are you using iMessage or another RCS format?

SMS, it says IMS Status: Voice and SMS.

In airplane mode, I can send and receive  SMS ano my Android phone. No imessage or RCS.

Definitely SMS. Received a text message from a company today whilst phone was in airplane mode with WiFi calling enabled. Also the iPhone menu shows SMS being supported now.

As of yesterday I now appear to be receiving SMS over WiFi as well. My suresignal died, no SMS over WiFi and no possible replacement and when I rang they said that SMS over WiFi was "happening soon". And then, yesterday, it appears
