Text over wifi ?

I have recently moved to a rural location and my mobile signal is very hit and miss, there are days when I get a poor signal and days when I get none at all. This is not a big issue for me as my friends can use a landline or WhatsApp.

However when I wish to use PayPal they send a text and sods law states this will be at a time I have no signal. Is there a way around this? My internet is provided by vodaphone and my mobile is with virgin. The phone is a pixel 4a.

Virgin do text Via WiFif you have Wifi Calling switched on both in your account and on your phone. However  it may be limited to certain phones. I've not seen which ones are included in the text side of things.

Thanks for the reply. It sounds like I would have to have both internet and mobile from virgin for this to be switched on.

No. Wifi Calling works with any Internet provider.

I was in a hospital recently, big building sapping signal. Connected to the hospital free WiFi to make a call
