I’m also seeing an update prompt on Vidéotron.
I was at Videotron 24.0 before the update… But still at 24.0 after the update.
EastLink has updated as well.
On Rogers, enabling Wi-Fi calling no long displays Rogers Wi-Fi as carrier text.
It still does for me.
Still showing for Fido
Go into airplane mode for a few seconds and come back out. It’ll reconnect back to WiFi calling.
Shows Rogers Wi-Fi for me with the 24.2 update
24.2 update which comes right after iOS 9.3.2 fix issues with Wi-Fi calling.
iOS 9.3.1 has issue with wifi hotspot that required portal login ( imagine Starbucks wifi login page), same issue also affect wi-fi calling on rogers and fido. Some customers unable to automatically connect to wi-fi calling network and have to manually switch on/off the wi-fi calling option
I’ve had a few people saying my voice cuts out in the last couple of days. This is when I’ve been on Virgin WiFi at home. Hope this update helps, but it could have just been my internet connection.
Side note: even though my BYOD plan is not explicitly listed as being compatible with Virgin’s WiFi calling, last month it suddenly became an option on my iPhone and I’ve used it with no billing issues.
I’m on Virgin and my 6s Plus still has 24.1
