Problems using cell phones over WiFi
Hello Rebyroo, cell over WiFi generally will not work well on satellite due to the high latency (ping). There is no remedy for the latency because the satellite is so far up in space.
Whether WiFi calling will or won't work with HughesNet, or any other satellite ISP, is irrelevant, as HughesNet does not support it. If people can get it to work, that's fine, but there is absolutely no guarantee that it will work, nor are the reps or techs required to help people to get it to work, nor answer any technical questions about it, as again, HughesNet does not support WiFi calling.
Secondly, regardless of upload speed, the major issue with WiFi calling is latency. Blame physics, not HughesNet.
As you know, HughesNet offers their own VOIP service.
You might want to think about branching out if your entire social life is tied to your ability to make cell calls over WiFi.

Your high and mighty response to a previous poster:
Was that really necessary? I suggest a litte more maturity when posting on this community.

Someone who doesn't cotton to nonsense.
GabeU, a month ago I specifically asked Hughes about wi-fi calling and was told by a Hughesnet employee that upgrading my service to Gen5 would be a PERFECT thing to do if I was looking for that feature. I get that you have figured out that such is not the case, as I have as well.. But acting like a trol when folks are dissapointed in being the 7% of America that doesn't get good cell service doen't make you look wise...it makes you look like a, well, trol.
Feel free to critisize my spelling, grammer of what ever scratches your itch.
But TRY to be nice. I know it's hard, but try.

Try looking at the context of the post, and my reply to it, instead of just assuming my reply is because someone is disappointed that something isn't working.
