iOS 17.4, can't enable wi-fi calling

Hello,


So basically after the iOS 17.4 update, I noticed I can't turn on voice-over wi-fi, it was turned on before the 17.4 update and it switched to off automatically after the 17.4 update and I am unable to turn it on. I asked my cellular supplier to help me solve the problem but they can't do anything.

UPDATE, this procedure helped in my case, after contacting with carrier support they recommended to:


  • turn on "airplane mode" in your phone
  • turn off phone for more than 5 minutes
  • turn on phone
  • turn off "airplane mode"


now "wi-fi calling" can be enabled without problem :)

Well, my understanding is different. Apple provided update which has been not tested with carriers in my country (one of big 4).

Phone and network were working fine. Now there is a problem. In my country Apple support is not even available on Sundays 😂. So I will resolve this problem tomorrow changing my device to other manufacturer. This is very easy. As I mentioned, my SIM card and linked services are working fine on Samsung. So there is no problem with wifi calling on their side. If problem is related to Apple’s update which means that carriers needs to make changes on their side….something it’s not right then. Thank you for all comments.

Hello Katana-San,


one more detail/check done.

I just tested my SIM card on iPhone 6s with older iOS version. Here wifi calling is working fine. So again, this is telling me ghat my two new devices are not working with wifi calling only because of the iOS 17.4 update.

Due to my work location, this functionality is crucial for me. And I was simply cutted from it without any warning. Is latest update work fine for you…thats great. As I wrote before, 17.4 has many changes related to EU users only. Maybe you are not affected by these changes.

Thank you.
