Issue with WIFI calling at work


I changed to a newer phone a couple of weeks ago (iphone 7 to iphone 12) and have been having problems getting and making calls when at work.  There is very little signal in the building so the phone uses wifi calling when I’m in the office which worked fine before - I’m using the same SIM card as previous.  I have checked when at home and WIFI calling works fine there (put on airplane mode to check) so it is just when on the work WIFI that it does not.  Tried called over Whatsapp at work and this works ok.  Not sure what to try after that - if I cannot get it working I will need to change provider as I cannot  continue with not being able to use phone when in the office.

Hi ​@lreed7619  sorry to hear this. There may be a fix in your settings.

In ‘settings’, ‘phone’ (under iOS 18 its under ‘Apps’, ‘phone’) ‘My Number’ may be blank. Once corrected and phone restarted, the Wi-Fi calling should start working perfectly. Please let us know how you get on.

Thank you for confirming ​@lreed7619 

Does your number show as +44 at the beginning? If not, are you able to amend it to this?

For example +447891234567.

Yes it is and WiFi calling works when in the house just not when at work

OK ​@lreed7619  have you checked this with your work at all? Could it be possible they have restricted the Wi-Fi use?
