British carrier Three has seeded a carrier settings update—version 27.1—that enables native Wi-Fi calling on iPhones.

three-wifi-calling
Three previously required iPhone customers to use its free Three inTouch app for Wi-Fi calling, but the carrier settings update released on Friday introduces system-level support for Wi-Fi calls and texts under Settings > Phone > Wi-Fi Calling.

We know that sometimes you can't get signal when you're indoors, but that shouldn't mean that you have to go off the grid. With Three inTouch Wi-Fi Calling, you can call and text whenever you're on Wi-Fi in the UK, even if there’s no mobile signal.

Three joins EE and Vodafone among carriers in the U.K. with native support for Wi-Fi calling on iPhones.

Shame it changes the tiny little '3' in the corner to 'Three Wifi Call'

Assume this is not showing for anyone else on 10.3 beta?
Ive not found a way to enable it on 10.3 yet either, if anyone finds a way to do it let us know!

One of the reasons I left Three for EE is because they had Wi-Fi calling built in, whereas Three used a crappy app that meant conversations were often disjointed between the app and the messages.app

This is a good step. I still won't switch back to Three though - EE has 4G in far more places, and faster speed too.

I'm surprised o2 haven't got this yet, considering they were THE iPhone network originally.

Are Wifi minutes included in your allowance or are they unlimited/reduced? (I have an unlimited call contract so it wouldn't affect me - I'm just curious)
