Hi ​@hippyhappy,

 

Thank you for your message.

 

We’re really sorry to hear that you’re unable to make or receive calls when you’re not at home, and we understand how frustrating and disappointing this must be. To help resolve this, please try resetting your network settings, restarting your phone, and removing your SIM card to gently clean it before reinserting it. Once you’ve completed these steps, please check if the issue still persists, and if it does, let us know so we can assist you further.

 

Thanks.

Hi,

this issue is nothing to do with if I’m at home or not, the issue is I can’t make or receive calls when connected to my home WiFi.

I have tried those steps you have suggested and they have not worked

Hi ​@hippyhappy 

 

Thanks for coming back to us and for confirming you’ve already tried the suggested steps.

 

I’m sorry to hear the issue is still happening I understand how frustrating it is not being able to make or receive calls over your home WiFi, especially when you’re relying on it.

Just to clarify, WiFi Calling should work independently of your physical location, as long as you’re connected to a stable WiFi network and the feature is correctly enabled on your device and account.

Since the usual troubleshooting hasn’t resolved it, I’d like to take this a step further. Could you please confirm the following so we can narrow it down:

Is WiFi Calling definitely switched ON in your phone settings?
Does it show “WiFi Calling” on your screen when connected at home?
What make and model of device are you using?

Once I have that, I can escalate this for a deeper network check on your line if needed.

 

Thank you,

Yep WiFi calling switched is on, but does not show on my screen when I’m connected to WiFi, IPhone 15.

 

Regardless of if I’m connected to wifi calling or not, phone calls go straight to voicemail when I’m connected to WiFi
