We should point out that O2 UK are in a similar boat to Vodafone and the last update we had from them was toward the end on 2019, in which the operator said via Twitter that вЂњ we hope to see it available in 2020.вЂќ WeвЂ™re still waiting. In fairness we know that adding SMS to WiFi Calling is very complex to implement and requires a lot of testing, which might help to explain why Vodafone have been slow to implement it.

вЂњWeвЂ™re aiming to have SMS over WiFi available for both Android and iOS devices by the end of the year.вЂќ banks, VodafoneвЂ™s own account system etc.) and a lot of those donвЂ™t work with alternatives like WhatsApp or AppleвЂ™s iMessage (many people still donвЂ™t use those platforms in general).ДЄ Vodafone Spokesperson told .uk: Many services use SMS as part of two-factor authentication (e.g. Until now this wasnвЂ™t such a concern, since VodafoneвЂ™s customers could just take a Sure Signal device, but the withdrawal of that before Wi-Fi Calling can do SMS is causing concern. Three UK and EE), although Vodafone still hasnвЂ™t added this feature and thatвЂ™s despite saying in 2018 it would be coming вЂњ soonвЂќ (they repeated this again last year too). The Wi-Fi Calling feature can also work for SMS messages and indeed it does on some other operators (e.g. Unfortunately Vodafone decided to stop selling Sure Signal on 30th April 2020 and instead promoted use of a similar service called Wi-Fi Calling (VoWiFi), which has been available for several years and enables consumers to harness their home WiFi connection in order to make calls. Such devices have been useful for people who live in locations with either a weak indoor mobile signal or no signal at all. Sure Signal (v3) is a small device that plugs into a fixed line broadband ISP network (minimum connection speed required is 1Mbps), which enables it to harness your home internet connection in order to boost an indoor 3Gmobile signal using the 2100MHz band. The latter still doesnвЂ™t support the ability to send and receive text (SMS) messages (itвЂ™s been listed as coming вЂњ soon вЂќ since 2018). Mobile operator Vodafone вЂ™s recent decision to stop selling their femtocell based Sure Signal 3G router on 30th April 2020, while instead encouraging use of Wi-Fi Calling, has one significant flaw. I am a loyal Vodafone customer and I would like Sure Signal to be resurrected, or a decent alternative provided that will enable me to receive a decent mobile signal at home. I also find itВ unacceptable that I am only able to make calls by Wi-Fi calling - Wi-Fi is of course a separate service which IВ also have to pay for. It simply isn't good enough to withdraw a service and force your customers onto a new service which doesn't meet basic requirements, and the fact that I cannot increase my online security because of Vodafone's failure to provide me with a mobile signal is even more distressing. Whilst this is fine for making calls, it means I cannot send or receive texts, a service I am paying for.В Because I can't get texts, I cannot use two factor authentication on numerous websites.

That system failed shortly after I upgraded my phone and agreed to a new contract, and I have since been told that Sure Signal no longer exists and I have to use WiFi calling instead. The mostВ frustrating is calling the helpline, only to be toldВ I'm going to be sent a text message which I canВ click to get more help! Which of courseВ I can'tВ receive! It was fine when I had a Sure Signal.

I have been on to Vodafone about this multiple times. I also cannot receive or send text messages.

I also have a recently deceased Sure Signal, meaning I get no Vodafone signal at all in the house now.
