Wi-Fi Calling is not working on my iPhone running iOS 18.6 Since 18.3 WiFi Calling was off and on. Now with 18.5 and 18.6 WiFi calling is dead! I went to Reddit and checked also, people are complaining they have the same issue. We live in a remote area and no one has service here, so we rely on wifi calling. Never had an issue until 18.3.

How to diagnose Wi-Fi calling problems on iPhone 13 Pro? In my home, I lose calls while sitting next to my phone. In my phone Settings/Cellular Network selection flip-flops between Wi-Fi Calling and Freedom Mobile. Wi-Fi signal strength is strong. Connection to the internet is via Fibre fed ISP's modem. The modem is connected to TP-Link AX23 router (and RE705X range mesh extender). All home devices are connected to the TP-Link, most wirelessly. Wi-Fi calling gives the same issue whether connected wirelessly to the modem, or to the TP-Link. IPhone software is always updated. Any pointers will be appreciated. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Wi-Fi Calling is totally controlled by your carrier. There are no settings or adjustments for this on an iPhone.....because this is a carrier feature.

Not sure what to suggest. What does your carrier say? If you get an answer like....."it must be your iPhone".....the new hire you are speaking to is making stuff up. Ask to speak to a senior support person who knows what they are talking about.
