i have two sim on my phone. when there is a wifi i can make wifi calling with either.
is there a way to use wifi calling when there is no wifi(suppose i am in a rural area and only one carrier is covered and another is not.)
ios 15.0
iphone 13
One of the requirements of making a call through Wi-Fi calling is that the iPhone must have a Wi-Fi connection. This Wi-Fi connection is required for carrier to make an authentication and then continue with making and receiving calls through that Wi-Fi connection, This means that if you do not have a Wi-Fi Network or your iPhone is not connected to a Wi-Fi Network then Wi-Fi Calling feature cannot be used.
The other question then pops up is whether one phone number can use another phone numbers Cellular connection to use for Wi-Fi calling. The answer is still a NO.
Can you use a HotSpot connection for Wi-Fi calling? Answer is YES, however, it cannot be from a HotSpot created by the same device that makes the Wi-Fi calling phone call. In other words, your iPhone would have to be connected to a HotSpot created by another separate device.

it would be nice though. Since one of my number from a different country which has no roaming but i can use it with wifiCalling only when there is wifi around.
Outside the home when there is no wifi but my other line has internet connection.
I believe Apple guys can make this happen sometime soon.
wifi calling over second line
