Vodafone blocking Wifi calling for non-VF customers?

[AQ123]

I recently got Vodafone Cable Internet and it seems like Vodafone blocks Wifi calling? I have a non-Vodafone SIM, but Wifi calling seems to work on all other Wifi networks but when I connect to my home wifi (Vodafone), the Wifi calling doesn't work. Can someone confirm whether Vodafone is blocking Wifi calling for non-Vodafone SIMs and whether there's a way to have it activated?

Hello AQ123,

what exactly kind of modem do you use? We are only aware of restrictions with a Technicolor modem.

I'm using the cable modem that VF provided. It's Vodafone Station (CGA4233DE).

Reading the rest of the forum, it seems like this is a known issue to VF and further news was promised by VF on this topic by the end of March. Has there been any update on this from VF?

It also seems like it's a firewall issue. Wifi calling seems to work when firewall is turned off. Can not be a difficult fix really as VF needs to allow Wifi calling data (a couple of UDP ports) to pass through the router.

Can some moderator help out here?

Hello AQ123,

the CGA4233DE is the Technicolor. The limitations are known and will be fixed with the next stable update.

When is the next stable update expected?

Hi AQ123,

this is unfortunately not yet foreseeable at the moment.

If this is available, it will automatically be installed on your router.

Best regards, Martin

VF deployed a fix yesterday to fix the issues with my modem for guest wifi. Wifi calling has also started working after that fix.
