You can use SIP devices or a SIP VoIP app on your phone once you've registered an extension number. More details to come closer to the event.
Β 
== WiFi Calling ==
We have done some work on the WiFi network to enable access for WiFi calling to UK providers, previously this hasn't worked as the IP range we use appears to the carrier as being in Germany and most then block WiFi Calling, However we have solved this, WiFi calling should just work normally the same way as it does at home from any of the camp WiFi networks.
Β 
Please direct questions about WiFi Calling to the POC via the Infodesk.
