I’ve been trying to help my wife get this annoying notification to stop popping up. Hitting cancel and enable doesn’t do anything. Going into settings and turning off calls from the iPhone doesn’t work. Power cycling and resetting the network connection doesn’t work. The only way that works is to turn on airplane mode, which is stupid.
That gave me a thought. On the iPhone, go to Settings>Phone>Calls on Other Devices. Is that turned on? If so, is the iPad selected. If so, try turning that off.
Did you just activate the cellular on this iPad? It almost sounds like you have the wrong kind of SIM for the iPad, like it is a phone SIM and not a data only SIM. It is especially strange since your iPad does not have a phone number.
The only thing I find close to that in Apple documents is when I searched the second error screen you sent about joining a network. Wi-Fi Calling & Privacy - Apple Support It is just a privacy statement about wi-fi calling. I don't have a cellular iPad, so there is no way for me to test anything with that, but I don't recall ever seeing anything like that here before. You may be better off reaching out to Apple Support on this one. Sorry I couldn't help any further.
Wi-Fi Calling
You can use your phone number to make and receive calls directly on this iPad using Wi-Fi or cellular data.
Not now/ turn on
NOTHING works. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
A secondary message comes up stating:
upgrade to WiFi calling?
When you join a network, information about the country where the network connection is made may be sent to your carrier for details like billing. For short code calls, the city will be sent for call routing purposes. You can change this in settings.
cancel/enable
once I select either option, the original message immediately pops up.
Apparently airplane mode doesn’t work either. iOS is such a POS
What kind of wi-fi calling notification are you referring to. Can you better explain the issue?
A new message popped up
WiFi calling
to allow WiFi calling on this account, contact iPad
We don’t have any cellular plan on the iPad. I think it has to do with her phone communicating with her iPad.
Thanks for trying to help Chris. I’ll probably reach out to Apple like you suggested.
Just tried it and it appears to work. Thanks man!
You're welcome.
WiFi calling notification never goes away
