How to use Wi-Fi Calling
Where can I make Wi-Fi Calls from?
As long as VoLTE & Wi-Fi Calling is turned on in your phone settings and your phone is connected to Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Calling will be used automatically whenever your phone has limited TPG Mobile coverage.
I'm in an area with TPG Mobile coverage. Will I be able to make a Wi-Fi Call?
If TPG Mobile coverage is available, you'd need to turn on Airplane Mode and connect to Wi-Fi to force Wi-Fi Calling to be used instead.
Is there any change to the way I make calls using Wi-Fi Calling?
There's no change to the way you make calls over Wi-Fi Calling to another mobile phone.
However, Wi-Fi Calls to a landline phone need you to enter the area code (e.g. "02 9000 1234" instead of just "9000 1234"), even if you're in the sate state or territory.
Can I call emergency services with Wi-Fi Calling?
No. Special numbers that connect based on location services like 000 emergency services or 1300/1800 numbers may not connect to the correct location over Wi-Fi Calling, or may not connect at all. We recommend turning off Wi-Fi Calling before calling 000 emergency services or 1300/1800 numbers.
What happens to calls when I leave Wi-Fi coverage?
If you leave Wi-Fi coverage during a Wi-Fi Call, the call will seamlessly transition to the TPG Mobile network, provided coverage is available. If TPG Mobile coverage is not available, then the call will be disconnected.
Can I use Wi-Fi Calling while International Roaming?
No, Wi-Fi Calling is not available outside Australia.
What internet speed is needed for Wi-Fi Calling to work?
Wi-Fi Calling only needs a speed of 100-120kbps. However, internet services with high latency (i.e. delays sending data from one point to another) such as Satellite broadband may reduce your call quality.
Can I use Wi-Fi Calling on a VPN?
Yes. Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) will work as long as they don’t have a firewall that restricts access to Wi-Fi Calling.
Additional information
Are there extra charges for Wi-Fi Calling?
There are no additional fees for Wi-Fi Calling. All calls and SMS/MMS are charged at the standard rates for your TPG mobile plan.
Does Wi-Fi Calling use data?
Yes, Wi-Fi Calling uses data over the Wi-Fi connection, which will affect the data allowance for that internet service (if applicable) or be charged based on the agreement with the internet service provider for the Wi-Fi network.
Wi-Fi Calling does not affect your TPG mobile data allowance.
Is Wi-Fi Calling secure?
Yes. Wi-Fi Calling uses the same authentication as a call over our mobile network. Our current supported devices enable a secured connection that will ensure all calls and text messages are encrypted.
Can I differentiate between Wi-Fi calls and standard calls on my bill?
Yes. The call record on your bill will state ‘Over Wi-Fi’. Calls made over Wi-Fi will be displayed in AEST/AEDST time.
Terms and Conditions
To use Wi-Fi Calling, you need an active TPG prepaid mobile plan, a compatible mobile phone, have 4G voice calls (VoLTE) enabled, have Wi-Fi Calling settings turned on, and access to a Wi-Fi connection. You can turn off Wi-Fi Calling through your mobile phone settings.
There are no additional fees to use Wi-Fi Calling, however, you will be charged your normal plan rates to make calls or send messages (TXT or PXT) using Wi-Fi Calling (the same way you are charged to make calls, TXT or PXT on the mobile network). Your use of Wi-Fi will count towards your internet use, so you may incur charges from your internet service provider. Calls or TXTs using Wi-Fi Calling will appear on your usage history as “Over Wi-Fi” and the time the call or TXT was made may default to AEST/AEDT.
You cannot use Wi-Fi Calling while roaming overseas. You may not be able to use Wi-Fi Calling on some public or corporate Wi-Fi networks. You may not receive National Emergency Warning System (NEWS) TXT warnings when you are using Wi-Fi Calling.
While you can make calls to emergency services using Wi-Fi Calling if there is no mobile coverage available, we recommend you make 000 or 112 calls using a mobile network if possible as this will provide a more accurate location to emergency services.
