I did say "on phones that support it and mobile
Â*networks that support it when "

previously my phone was on Tesco (O2 mvno) and I couldn't even enable
wifi calling, now it's on Virgin (EE mvno) and I can enable it, but it
still won't work as virgin don't support it.


I forgot to say that AFAIK in the UK only EE/BT ID moble O2 Sky and
vodafone support it on plan, amd only 3 Mobile on PAYG and plan.

has a lot more info



When the signal drops the phone will open UDP connections to ports
500 and 4500


Also IP protocol 50 (ESP, neither TCP or UDP) those are the same three
connections that femtocells use to create IPSEC tunnels back to the
provider.


It would be strange if they used different...
