Enfore WiFi Calling over Cellular data

Hi,

as stated here already (Dual SIM: Setting Wifi calling on one, Wi… - Apple Community), I'm currently traveling.

Right now, I use the solution suggested there: For my home subscription, I selected an incompatible network forcing my phone to use WiFi Calling over Cellular data using my local subscription while traveling.

Doing so, I can text/call with my home subscription without roaming fees, which is really convenient.

Is there any way to actually natively disable cellular signal for my home line completly and forcing it to use WiFi Calling over cellular data instead? I feel like selecting an incompatible network is draining my battery and this is not the nicest way doing it.

And - if not - could that be suggested to be implemented?

All the best,

Kevin

There are two ways:

Turn off Roaming in Settings/Cellular
Put the phone in Airplane mode, then turn on Wi-Fi while in Airplane mode

Ohhhh, I may messed something a little bit up:

I'm talking about WiFi Calling over cellular data. So, I have no WiFi at all. But since the phone has no reception for my home subscription, instead of WiFi it uses my secondary/travel phone line and it's cellular data to still be able to call/text [based on the WiFi Calling technology, but over cellular data].

There is no such thing.
