Wi-Fi Calling Not Working On iPhone? Here's The Fix!

  • Опубліковано 30 чер 2024
  • Two #Apple experts explain what to do when Wi-Fi Calling is not working on your #iPhone. Wi-Fi #Calling is a feature that lets you make phone calls using a Wi-Fi network rather than the minutes on your cell phone plan.
    First, make sure your iPhone is connected to Wi-Fi. You can’t use Wi-Fi Calling without a Wi-Fi connection!
    Next, go to the Cellular Settings and make sure Wi-Fi Calling is turned on. If you don’t see an option to turn on Wi-Fi Calling, it’s probably not included with your cell phone plan!
    If you still can’t get Wi-Fi Calling to work, eject your iPhone’s SIM card. This will force your iPhone to disconnect and reconnect to your carrier’s network.
    The last troubleshooting step you can take is to reset your iPhone’s network settings. This erases all of the Cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and VPN settings on your iPhone.
    Contact your carrier if the problem persists, or find a new cell phone plan that includes Wi-Fi Calling with the UpPhone cell phone comparison tool! (www.upphone.com/compare-cell-...)

      A Cast try this. I was told this by a T-Mobile tech. Go to settings, cellular, cellular data options and turn off the LTE. Then try making calls. I have the 11 Pro max and it was driving me nuts for months. It worked like a charm. It forces the iPhone to use WiFi calling. Just remember to turn LTE on when you leave the house. See my post on here I posted today about this. Let me know if it works for you.

  • @jersey8231
    @jersey8231 2 роки тому

    I've always been able to enable Wi-Fi calling on my iPhone 8 and it connects but it would never actually make or receive calls using my home network unless I turned off LTE in the settings. With the latest update it takes away the ability to turn off LTE so I now turn on airplane mode when I am home and as long as I'm connected to my network it forces the phone to use the Wi-Fi for calling. I just have to remember to turn off airplane mode when I am not at home. I get poor reception at home using the cell phone reception, I get much better reception with the Wi-Fi calling.

      @@toddlevick6016 Yes I've been doing the same turning off LTE when I've been home but the latest update 15.4.1 on my iPhone 8 removed the "Voice & Data" setting so there doesn't seem to be a way to turn off LTE anymore. So I guess from now on when I return home I will just put my phone into airplane mode and with Wi-Fi turned on the phone should be forced to use Wi-Fi calling.
