You presumed  that 3 mobile were the pioneers of this in the UK ,and  i pointed out 02 supplied  a wifi  service before 3 . So it would make both 3 and ee the followers.

However just to put the record straight EE announced their service shortly before 3.

In fact, Orange have been offering this service for years, via UMA. I was using this over 3 years ago on a Nokia 6301 that supports the technology and still use that phone today.

I don't think you can really compare the O2 TuGo and Three In-Touch apps with EE's upcoming WiFi calling because while Three & O2 use a separate app to provide their service, the EE WiFi calling is going to be integrated with the system dialler, making it transparent in use.

Also while EE might be the first to use this particular "WiFi calling" technology, it was indeed Orange who were first in the UK to provide an equivalent service as Korny88 correctly pointed out. I used to use UMA on an LG Optimus 1 back in late 2010. The call quality wasn't particularly good though, let's hope EE's service is better!
