Oct 8, 2015 11:39 AM in response to gabefromprincetonby mjf36,I contacted AT&T about this and they told me they do NOT support the Wi-Fi calling on iPhone 5, 5c, and 5s. I read somewhere else that this is because they are only supporting on their phones that use VoLTE (Voice over LTE). I think this is complete and total ******** since other carriers are supporting it. AT&T has the best coverage in my area and but with this I am really considering jumping ****. It's just unacceptable.

Make a call with Wi-Fi Calling
With Wi-Fi Calling, you can place a phone call in an area with little or no cellular coverage. Learn how to make a voice call using Wi-Fi Calling.
To place a Wi-Fi call, you need an iPhone on one of these carriers:
- Canada: Bell, Rogers
- Hong Kong: 3, SmarTone
- United Kingdom: EE, Vodafone
- United States: AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile
iPhone 5c and later are capable of Wi-Fi Calling. Check with your carrier on which models are supported.

That's because VoLTE is an integral part of making WiFi calling work on their network. Don't like it? Too bad. Go whine to AT&T about it. It works just fine for anyone with a VoLTE capable device.
You have a 5s. No one ever said it would ever be able to use WiFi calling on AT&T. If you're that upset about it, then cancel your AT&T service and go sign up with a carrier that will give you the features you want on the phone you have... assuming you can actually find one.
