Hello jonfromelgin,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.


If you want to use Wi-Fi calling on an iPhone, it needs to be at least an iPhone 5s running iOS 8. Your iPhone 5 does not support Wi-Fi calling.



Wi-Fi calling is available for T-Mobile in the United States. You need an iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, iPhone 6, or iPhone 6 Plus. Your device needs to be using iOS 8 and have a Wi-Fi Internet connection.
