How do I get WiFi calling to work on Apple Watch?

Well, I had thought of that. However, I don't think that is supposed to be the case, I think there is supposed to be an option there, I say that because of the "Remove a device" section of the above mentioned help URL where it says:

If you don't want to use Wi-Fi Calling from one of your devices, you can remove it:

1. On your iPhone, go to Settings > Phone > Calls on Other devices.
2. In the list of devices, turn off Wi-Fi Calling for the device that you want to remove.

To turn off Wi-Fi Calling on your Apple Watch, go to the Watch App on your iPhone, tap My Watch, tap Phone, then turn off Wi-Fi Calling.

I have highlighted the relevant line, where it specifically says that in "My Watch" under "Phone" there should be toggle for WiFi Calling, and it is missing. Of course, I want mine turned on, but that line says there should be a toggle, doesn't it? I'm going to try to do a backup and full reset of both phone and watch as entirely new devices, and see if that helps.

Thank you for the link. However I have tried the steps provided in the help article more than once, that links back to the article that was already linked. Still I do not see any option to turn on WiFi calling on the watch and it is working perfectly on everything else.

I agree, and I'm perfectly OK with the idea that it comes from the phone, that makes perfect sense. However, when I actually attempt to use WiFi calling it does not work (where as on the phone or on the Mac it does work). Since I know the WiFi Network is compatible with WiFi Calling (other devices work) I can only conclude that somehow it is not working on the watch for some reason.

Right now I'm still in the process of configuring the watch as an entirely new watch (it was an upgrade from a non LTE compatible device) and then I hope it works from there.

So, I confirmed with Sprint that my phone and watch are both provisioned for WiFi Calling. Then, I unpaired the watch from the phone / wiped it out. Next I wiped out the phone back to factory defaults. I then set up the phone as a new phone (not restoring from backup) and the same to the watch (new watch, not restoring from backup).

Same issue. The Apple Watch still sill not do WiFi Calling, if it does not have a cell signal (as it does not where I work), it cannot make phone calls. The phone can, but the watch cannot. This is very frustrating.

Have you tried WiFi calling somewhere with open wifi, such as a Starbucks? I wonder if there could be something on your work network preventing the feature from working correctly.

I had that thought too. I tried on my home network, I even tried it with the network firewall temporarily turned off. I tried it at my school, my work, and at a friends house as well. Unfortunately, that didn't solve the problem.

I did try those steps in different variations and even restored the phone and comepletely reset the watch and it’s carrier settings. Still did not help.
