One of the best things about Wi-Fi is being able to make a call when cellular service is limited. But it can be frustrating if you cannot use Wi-Fi calling on your iPhone given several reasons. Good news? Whatever the issue might be, it can be fixed in a few easy-to-follow steps. So, just be patient and follow the solutions step by step!
Fixing Wi-Fi Calling On iPhone:
So, to use Wi-Fi calling on iPhone, see what issue you might be facing out of the listed below. And then fix as directed in the lines below:
Is Your iPhone Connected To Wi-Fi?
The first thing comes first. The basic thing many users usually forget is not checking whether their iPhone is connected to a Wi-Fi or not. You can check the Wi-Fi connectivity status by going to Settings > Wi-Fi on your iPhone. If you see a tick mark next to the connected network, that means Wi-Fi is connected. A quick way to check if the connection is working is to open a browser and visit any website. Go to the next fix, if it is working just fine.
Is Wi-Fi Calling Turned On?
In case your Wi-Fi calling is turned off, you cannot make calls using Wi-Fi. So, in order to turn it on:
