Why doesn't SIRI make calls on AT&T WiFi iPhone 6s ?
SIRI does NOT recognize AT&T WiFi in order to make phone calls. This occurs with both push-button, and "Hey, SIRI" modes.
1. AT&T WiFi works PERFECTLY with keypad and/or Contact dial phone calls. BTW: WiFi calls are very clear, and seem to have fewer dropout problems compared to cellular (just my experience).
2. SIRI works PERFECTLY to make calls on Cellular.
3. Something blocks SIRI from connecting to AT&T WiFi. SIRI either tries AT&T WiFi, gets bounced, or doesn't recognize it as a viable option. SIRI then goes to Cellular, which there is nothing to connect to. Or, SIRI simply defaults to Cellular immediately, ignoring AT&T WiFi all together.
4. Regardless, when Cellular is not available, but AT&T WiFi is, SIRI tells you: "...there's no service right now. Please try your phone call again when you have a better cellular connection."
I am experiencing this at my home, on a solid "n" WiFi network. Absolutely zero problems using iPhone 6s WiFi for email, Safari, or other online connection.
First noticed this with iOS 9.1 a month ago. It continues with 9.2.
Apparently this is NOT a known issue with Apple Support (online and in-store Genius folks). Worked with online support today, and did a full reset and restore. No change. Went to local Apple Store, where they suggested either a reset of the wireless, or complete wipe of the phone, then do setup from scratch as if a brand new iPhone 6s. Since I KNOW there is NOTHING wrong with the 6s wireless networking, and I wasn't eager to start all over, I passed on both options. My wife's iPhone 6s has EXACTLY the same problem. iOS upgrades to each respective 6s are done through different Macs, each currently running El Capitan 10.11.2.
The Genius at the store hinted that because of the very specific, and repeatable problem, occurring in different devices, that this "could" be software issue that has not happened enough to cause a blip on Apple's radar.
Any ideas?
