As per my previous discussion around the MVNO's who offer Wifi calling HERE. I thought I'd list together some of them who offer VoLTE
What is VoLTE?
VoLTE stands for Voice over Long-Term Evolution or Voice over LTE. VoLTE offers the possibility to voice call via the LTE/4G* mobile network.
Previously, 4G was limited to surfing the Internet. When it came to calls, your phone would automatically switch to 3G or 2G. You may recall a few seconds of delay before the recipient's phone rang. Thanks to VoLTE, that delay is gone.
On a 2G or 3G network, calls and data are separated and cannot work simultaneously. For example, during a phone call on a 2G network, any incoming text messages at that moment will only arrive after you’ve terminated your phone call. On a 4G LTE network, both calls and data work in unison, meaning that a text message will arrive instantly even during a call.
*The terms 4G and LTE refer to the same technology and can be used interchangeably.
Let me know if I've missed any please

sorted byI won't even go to the topic of state of roads here..
when someone calls phone, internet connection gone and zoom interview drops
I'm mainly in two locations one has good reception on one network, the other on another. I want to use a single number.
Thanks
They also don't have a minimum monthly top up. So you can either pay 1p per minute, 1p per text, 1p per megabyte - OR pick a monthly bundle. Some of their bundles include:
1GB, Unlimited minutes and texts £5
4GB, Unlimited minutes and texts £7.50
25GB, Unlimited minutes and texts £10
50GB, Unlimited minutes and texts £15
200GB, Unlimited minutes and texts £20
Additionally for very light users, they have a £36 bundle that lasts the entire year with a monthly allowance of 250MB plus unlimited minutes and texts.
Everything will work in the same way that you are used to with EE. Customer service is still UK Based. Even the voicemail is the same number with the same EE voicemail system and voice for example. You wouldn't know you weren't still with EE directly so well worth switching over.
