I have horrible cell reception where I live, so I rely on wifi calling since Sure Signal went obsolete.

 

I noticed today though, when I went to make a call, that the phone symbol had no wifi symbol on it.

 

Wifi calling is on in settings.

 

I restarted my phone but thats made no difference.

 

Turned wifi calling off then on, no difference.

 

Last update was April 7 according to the system settings.

 

So somehow, wifi calling is there but also not there.

 

What should I do next?

I had the same problem few days ago.  So, wifi calling was working for a while but then stopped working.

 

I fixed it by:

 

  • first, make sure the wifi calling button is on, wifi is on, mobile data is on (but wifi calling may not working at this stage, but the button was on), and airplane mode is off (so your phone is on the mobile network)
  • then turn off wifi calling, wait few seconds
  • turn off wifi, wait few seconds
  • turn air plane mode on, note, your phone is off grid at this stage
  • wait five minutes or more (yes five minutes)
  • turn off airplane mode, wait for your phone is registered on the mobile network again (e.g. the "2degrees" carrier name is showing up), wait a few seconds
  • turn on wifi, wait few seconds
  • turn on wifi calling

it worked for me, I am on 2degrees as well.  But your mileage may vary.

 

One thing I miss being on Skinny was that wifi calling worked well.  2degrees' wifi calling could be a hit and miss sometimes
