Wi-Fi Calling On Apple Watch Series 3 (Cellular)

I can’t get the Wi-Fi calling option to appear on the Apple Watch App -> Phone.


Things I’ve checked:

  1. My l cellular provider in the USA is T-Mobile. They support Wi-Fi calling.
  2. I successfully have Wi-Fi calling enabled on my iPhone 8 as well as “calls on other devices”


Thoughts?

Make calls over Wi-Fi

If your cellular carrier offers Wi-Fi calling, you can use your Apple Watch to make and receive calls over Wi-Fi instead of the cellular network—even when your paired iPhone isn’t with you or is turned off. Your Apple Watch just has to be within range of a Wi-Fi network that your iPhone has connected to in the past.

To see if your carrier offers Wi-Fi calling, see the Apple Support article Make a call with Wi-Fi calling, and enable Wi-Fi calling on your iPhone.

  1. On your iPhone, go to Settings > Phone, tap Wi-Fi Calling, then turn on both Wi-Fi Calling on This iPhone and Add Wi-Fi Calling For Other Devices.
  2. Open the Phone app  on your Apple Watch.
  3. Choose a contact, then tap .
  4. Select the phone number or FaceTime address you want to call.

Note: You can make emergency calls over Wi-Fi, but when possible, use your iPhone over a cellular connection instead—your location information is more accurate. Make sure your emergency address is up to date—on your iPhone, go to Settings > Phone > Wi-Fi Calling, then tap Update Emergency Address. If emergency services can’t locate you, they go to your emergency address.
