Phone calls coming through while in Airplane mode

I have a 6S...lately, I've received phone calls while the phone is in Airplane mode. How is that possible?

I do have Wi-fi calling on, but shouldn't the Airplane mode take precedence? Should I take off Wi-fi calling when I need silence? Seems like a pain to keep taking off wi-fi calling since I need it to get service in my home.

iPhone 6, iOS 12

No. This is how Wi-Fi Calling is supposed to work. If you want silence, enable a Do Not Disturb Mode with "Silence" set to always, so you won't receive calls even without Airplane Mode.
