WiFi calling

i am new to iPhones and have a 11pro.

I moved somewhere that my service carrier does not get service so I cannot use my data but I do have WiFi and was told to turn my WiFi calling on. But in order for it to work I need to update my emergency address, all the forums I’ve read have said to go to settings and then WiFi calling and there should be a button that says “update emergency address” and mine does not have that button anywhere!

i am curious if the new iPhones have hidden that somewhere?? I’ve literally been through every setting option searching for the problem! I was even on the phone with my carrier for 3 hours and 3 levels of tech support! And no one could tell me what the issue was!!!

my husband has an android phone on the same carrier as I have and his works just fine! As well as my mother in law who also has an android.

i have also gone into a service zone where when I tried enabling WiFi calling it did give me a page that I can update my address on but when I do and hit continue it just proceeds to turn the setting back off! then when I am back home connected to WiFi I don’t even get that pop up page that lets me write an address.

someone please help I need to make calls!

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 13

Your carrier needs to support Wi-Fi calling.


If your carrier supports Wi-Fi calling, enable Wi-Fi calling in settings.

Settings > Cellular > Wi-Fi Calling > etc...


You’ll then get whatever additional steps required by your caller.


If that doesn’t work and if enabling that doesn’t prompt you for your location info as would be expected, stop back here and ask.


Here’s what AT&T states—and there are more detailed instructions at that website:


The sequence described at the following AT&T link should work with most iPhones and most carriers:
