Yer - that's the problem, the list is out of date.
For example, under Samsung S series it says "S8 or later". From that you'd assume that S9, S10, S20 & S21 would all work - however it would appear these only work if you buy the handset directly from Sky.
There is a little bit in their FAQ about buying the handset from elsewhere and the answer is "Insert your Sky Mobile SIM and try it......." (paraphrase).

I cannot comment on other phones but the A70 i've had for two years supports wifi calling on Sky without issues. It was bought direct from Three.

Yer - that is just it.
As far as Sky are concerned the only way to guarantee that Wi-Fi calling will work is to buy your handset directly from them.
If you ask about anything newer than an S8 (Samsung Android) and a handset not bought from them, their standard, script and only response is "Please follow the instructions on enabling Wi-Fi calling. If this works you'll have Wi-Fi calling enabled on your phone. If not, we are unable to offer any further support".

So you're 100% reliant on others who have tested a non Sky purchased handset etc.

It may turn out to be a moot point for me anyway - I went through the process of leaving EE online (to see what the penalty would be to leave now - just out of interested). I received a call from EE customer service the next day saying that "they don't appear on the website, but I can get you a 12 month SIM-Only deal and it will be competitive with your quotes from elsewhere" - we'll see how true that is in about three weeks time.

I'm on holiday in Mallorca at the moment and O have 100gb data with Vodafone. I can still use it all for now but unlimited plans are capped at 25gb. Hope this doesn't change as I come here a lot.

Might be me finally moving from EE.
It's nearly £100 a month for our two phones. And we barely use anything other than Data.
I travel for work (well, used to, and maybe will again) and been looking for a reason to move away. Each time I went to move away, they "slashed" the prices, and then somehow I never saved any actual money..

I have been sim only for a while now. I only changed my plan to get in before the Roaming change and also it put me from 4G to a 5G plan (for future), gave me double the data (160GB) and lowered my bill to £14/month... Mental not to.
