How many Apple devices you have? For WiFi calling to work, you need more than one Apple Device. iPad, Mac or multiple iPhones.

  1. Preferably all devices need to be on the same Apple ID
  2. If your carrier supports Wi-Fi Calling on iCloud-connected devices, you can also make and receive Wi-Fi calls on other devices.

Call Receiving...

Say, when you receive a call on your iPhone you can attend the same call on iPad /Mac or another iPhone.

In the recent call history, you will see the "call attended on the other device" remarks.


Call Making....

You make calls to anyone using a Mac or iPad and this will use the iPhone's cellular network to place the call if they are on the same WiFi.

That is not correct. You can have only one iPhone and still have Wi-Fi calling on that one phone. If you have multiple devices you can also have Wi-Fi calling on the other devices as long as one device in the group is an iPhone, but other devices are not necessary for Wi-Fi calling on a primary or only iPhone.

The area where I am residing has very poor cellular coverage. The WiFi calling should enable me to make and receive calls seamlessly.


But I literally run to the balcony to receive calls, even today. If I am not on the balcony the other person cannot hear my voice.


Nevertheless, I take your words for it.


Thanks for pitching in and correcting my knowledge, Lawrence Finch. You are always very helpful!
