Hey guys, so just curious, is there a way to force WiFi calling? My signal sucks in my house but my WiFi is awesome. Supposedly the device will prefer mobile signal if it is strong enough, but you can't physically choose WiFi calling to be default.
If anyone knows anything, let me know. I'm on EE.
when at home if you want wifi calling to kick in instead of celluar, do the following but it is a pain to remember to do it each time
Turn on Airplane mode
Turn on Wifi
Turn on Bluetooth (if you use bluetooth)
when you leave house, just turn off airplane mode
You can set it to prefer WiFi instead of mobile network, I don't know if it really works, my p20 pro is choosing WiFi always, even if both of signals are 100%

have wifi calling enabled, but if I don't want it to keep switching to cellular while at home, i have to switch to airplane mode, then re-enable both wifi and bluetooth. it then works, but have to remember to keep switching
you may not see wifi calling in the notification area, but when you make a call you will get the wifi notice showing

does it say wifi calling?
Has your provider allowed wifi calling on the device?
Also make sure you have enabled the option in the network settings and check under the default dialer wifi calling is enabled

Goto Settings
Goto Wireless & networks
Goto Call settings
Under Sim 1 there is a setting called Wi-Fi calling and it should say enabled, if not choose it then enable feature
You can also get to this from the default dialler by choosing settings

I think that's your problem, O2 do not support wifi calling on the device, both Three UK and EE do, not sure about VF either

do you still have the 3 sim? if not are you able to get one for testing?
I've attached screenshot showing the wifi calling option on the phone with Three sim installed
Call carrier support / Check firewall
I had to call vodafone. After some time they decided to disable wifi calling feature for my account for a couple of minutes and re-enabled it. That worked for me. My phone instantly logged into wifi calling again.
Also make sure that outbound connections to port 500/4500 are not being blocked by any firewall/router.
How do you set Wifi to be preferred instead of cellular?
Not a question, but an FYI.
I bought the dual sim version (CLT-L29) of the Huawei P20 Pro in the UK, from clove.co.uk
FYI (hoping it’s useful to other people): I have tested it with the 3 major networks in the UK, and wi-calling works with all 3, even if the phone is an unlocked dual-sim version, not bought from the networks.
At least where I use it, Vodafone has the best indoors signal. Outdoors, Vodafone and EE are about the same. Three is by far the worst, both indoors and outdoors.
EE: I get no icon about wi-fi calling, neither in stand-by nor during a call, but I am sure wi-fi calling works because I managed to call while in an underground station, where there was wi-fi but not mobile signal.
Three: no icon that wi-fi calling is available, but the small text “wifi” appears when making a wi-fi call.
Vodafone: icons and notifications about wi-fi calling being available come and go multiple times. Sometimes I can get 4 notifications, with the phone vibrating, in 10 minutes. It’s very annoying. I had to go to setting -> apps -> more -> show system processes -> phone -> notifications -> wi-fi calling and disable all the options (display in status bar, etc.) to make sure I don’t get these continuous notifications. However, I tested wifi calling in an underground station, with a wifi connection but no mobile signal, and it worked.
In all 3 cases, I enabled wifi calling opening the dialler -> 3 vertical dots at the bottom right -> Sim 1 (or 2) -> wifi calling
Wifi calling was already enabled by default with EE and Three; with Vodafone, it was tricky: I tried enabling it from the Vodafone website and from the Vodafone android app, but it didn't work. What worked for me was the online chat with Vodafone's support, who enabled it on their end. Odd.
Another thing I noticed is that, on my old Samsung Galaxy s7 edge dual sim, only the sim which connects to the internet could have wifi calling. Here no, both sims can have wifi calling enabled at the same time.
Wait till your on Android 9, i deffo get a Wifi calling on this.
I didn't understand - what did you mean?
hi All
is there any way to force wifi calling preferred i can se wifi calling option and is all working just fine but i would like to have that on in home
i did change mode from -1 to 2 via adb shell settings put global wfc_ims_mode 2 but after reset it goes back to -1
my network EE UK
my sister bought same phone from O2 and she can choose wifi calling preferred under wifi calling option
samsung s10+ smg975f
There's a way to set it on my phone, but I am in the U.S. on AT&T. All I do is turn wifi calling on in the drop down toggle menu on the notification shade when connected to wifi.
I used this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wikimediacom.wifi.calling&hl=en and it surprisingly works on my s10+
On my old Note 8(dual sim), one of my operators allowed the setting and the other did not. I just enabled wifi preferred and swapped my sims.

Looks like wifi calling preferred option in not available for my carrier anymore
I pop in my wife O2 UK sim card and bang I got wifi preferred or mobile preferred under wifi calling toggle but as soon I pop in my sim EE UK is gone so my carrier did something to disable that
I recently purchased the global version of the Mi 9T Pro and I am running stock MIUI Global 10.3.2 with US T-Mobile as my provider. OOTB the phone does not have a WiFi calling option. Since this is useful to me when traveling outside the US or in areas where I have WiFi but poor cell reception, I searched for a way to activate WiFi calling on this phone. I searched the XDA sub forum for the phone, but did not find any relevant threads (so apologies if this has been posted before). I did find a useful thread started by XDA member lightcao in the Xiaomi Mi 9 sub forum:
https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink/topic?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforum%2Exda-developers%2Ecom%2Fshowthread%2Ephp%3Ft%3D3917887&share_tid=3917887&share_fid=3793&share_type=t&link_source=app
Based on the suggestions in this thread and other information, I did the following:
1. Ensured that my T-Mobile account had an e911 address listed.
2. Enabled WiFi calling option using the dialer code provided in the thread and activated WiFi calling under the sim card settings (new option appeared).
3. Updated the T-Mobile APN with the APN types as suggested. At this point WiFi calling worked, but only in airplane mode with WiFi enabled. This was because after enabling WiFi calling, the Network Preferences defaulted to WiFi Only with no apparent option to change it (grayed out).
4. Installed QuickShortcutMaker (sika524) from the Play Store. With this app I could access the Network Preferences setting and change it to WiFi Preferred. Although the grayed out setting in the phone is still showing WiFi Only, phone is now working based on WiFi Preferred and I can see the WiFi calling icon in my notification bar whenever I have a WiFi connection.
Although this is specific to US T-Mobile, in the referenced thread people with other providers and in other countries suggest it is working for them as well, as long as the provider supports WiFi calling. Hope this helps others interested in WiFi calling on their Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro.
I used the same method a while ago in mi9t pro to enable wifi calling on O2 uk network but i didnt need to do all the other stuff i just entred the dialer codes and it started working. I think this is the case with most miui based roms because it was the same with my Mi6.
Hello
I just got this phone and set it up. Its a Global version 13.0.4 SKDMIXM.
I am on TMoblie USA - the phone is working great on LTE and 5G .
I am not able to see the Network preference under wifi calling where is can select Prefered Wifi Calling.
It appears that its running on default Prefered Cellular - because I can only see the VoLTE symbol on top.
Can someone help me in fixing this configuration to select Prefered Wifi Calling ? TIA

Hello, I'm using a 11T Pro Dual SIM India model with India SIM in Slot 1 and TMO SIM in Slot 2.
I have not found the specific setting to make Wifi Calling "Preferred" but, my phone does indicate Vo WiFi even when I have Wifi connected and Mobile Data turned on too once Wifi Calling is enabled as below.
Apparently the Voice Over WiFi Settings (at least here on my phone) only show up for SIM 1, does not show for SIM 2.
Attached are sample screenshots where the Settings are under SIM 1.
Steps to get there-
Settings > SIM cards & mobile networks > Click on SIM 1
All the way down, last Setting is "Wi-Fi Calls" to enable "Make calls using Wi-Fi".
Hope this helps.

Operators can disable this menu if they want to lock you onto Wifi preferred or cellular preferred. Does this only happen with this phone or does it also happen with the SIM in another Android phone?

There's a possibility of TMO-US not supporting WiFi calling on the Xiaomi 11T (Global), perhaps.
Although, I have been using various Unlocked phones (Nokia & Samsung) on TMO-US for the past few years & have practically never had issues with WiFi calling on any. Shall have to test it once I'm back. Won't be for some time.
Is your phone on the latest firmware? Try updating it to check if there's a new update available
which hopefully can solve your issue.
Couple of options to test, in case you have not already tested them-
a) leave WiFi Calling Enabled then disable the VoLTE feature and check if WiFi calling works?
b) disable Mobile Data, WiFi Calling enabled with WiFi connected and check if WiFi Calling works.
c) some users have had to ensure their E911 address is correctly in place on the TMO account too.

I had a working One Plus 6 - so I know TMO has VoWifi - I use it a lot due to poor reception at home .
The current workaround to force VoWIFI is
Turn On Airplane MOde
Turn ON WiFi only
then it works in VOWIFI with out any issues
I know I am missing a menu Item that can toggle this setting . I would prefer having that setting but its not a breaker for now . The phone works with all the Network features of TMO , LTE , 4G , 5G etc . No visual voicemail thats all.
Thanks

Perhaps you might want to give this a try-
Phone Dialer- *#*#86943#*#* VoWiFi carrier check disable
From here- https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/wifi-calling-volte-on-mi-9.3917887/
(or here too https://www.hardreset.info/devices/xiaomi/xiaomi-mi-11/codes/)

Thanks - this code is what got me to where I am now . I think from other articles - the mbn config may require some tweaking - but it refuses to give me access to it when i use *#*#663368378#*#*
Same access issue here too.
Wish you luck.
Pinging to see if there is a soln. in future.
