I used to be able to use Tmo wifi calling on airplane mode before the update. I can't use it now, any fix ?
I have the latest firmware on my T-Mobile edition of the A71 5G:
Check your network preference under Wi-Fi Calling and make sure it's set to "Wi-Fi Preferred"; with that setting I am still able to make calls via Wi-Fi Calling while my phone is in airplane mode.

Is this possible?? My carrier supports wifi calling on other Android devices but pixel 2
Try putting your phone in Airplane mode. Then turn on WiFi and connect while the connection to your carrier remains turned off. Try calling in that state.
If it does not work, sharing which carrier you are using might help you get an answer that resolves your question.

There is a way to "force" wifi calling but it requires pushing ADB commands and forcing settings, however you can set our phones to prefer wifi calling over mobile:
-Open settings
-Search for 'Calling'
-Open Advanced
-Under Wi-Fi calling select Wi-Fi
If you want more specifics than that Google ADB force wi-fi calling.
My provider (O2 Germany) allows WiFi Calling (voice over WiFi) and I have activated it on my P20.
Is there an option to "Prefer WiFi connections when available?"
At home, the mobile networks only work near the windows. Within the flat, mobile calls often get lost so I am glad to finally have a phone that can use the WiFi network.
By default, the phone prefers the mobile network and only switches to WiFi when the mobile network is lost.
Can I set the phone to prefer WiFi and use that when available and only switch to the mobile network when WiFi is out of range?
I have read somewhere that Samsung phones provide such an option, but cannot find it on the Huawei P20 phone.
The only workaround I have found, is to switch on airplane mode and then manually switch on WiFi. That works and I can still make and receive calls that way.
I looked through Developers Options, but could not find any such setting.
Anyone?
I am searching also for that setting. My mobile network signal is to low to live and to high to die......
Would appreciate if that annoying P20 would give me the ability to decide how it should behave....
Thanks on any help!
The only way I found to force WiFi calling is to switch to airplane mode and then switch WiFi on again. Then the phone will remain constantly in WiFi calling mode. You just need to remember to switch off airplane mode when you leave the house.
I just got angry after my post an treated Google.
For the Moment i found a solution, hope that will persist...
If i go to the dual SIM Config Menu there is an option to activate LTE on both SIM Cards. It is, in my German Branded P20, the last option.
When i disable that option as mentioned on the Internet the phone takes 5s and switches automatically and, for the moment, permanent to WiFi Calling...
Crazy. Hope that solves the issue foe me permanent and maybe helps for you also?
I think there is no bigger disadvantage on deactivating the function when WiFi Calling is now working properly
I just received a new firmware update to EML-L29 8.1.0.165(C432) which adds VoLTE and VoWiFi features - I thought we already had those features, but maybe they have improved them. I have not seen any new settings and even with your suggested settings, I am not getting permanent VoWiFi.
Hi Peter,
after some days testing i have to report, that was happy to early...
Just not reliable, also with my "hack", which also caused me some other troubles in regions were i have the issue that the carrier has just build LTE transmitters and no other frequencies.
Also, WiFi Calling works not really reliable on Huawei P20. Annoying!
So we have to hope that Huawei will bring a fix for that....
Wifi calling allows you to make Calls and send SMS when you don't have a Cellular Signal, and while traveling out of the country- as long as you have a Wifi connection.
The OnePlus 6 (and 6T) isn't yet officially supported on the T-Mobile devices list. Link here:

Note: You should already have Wifi calling activated on your account! You may need to log into your account online and activate it. These steps should work on other networks also.

Go into Settings
Sim & Network
Select the SIM
Enable Wifi calling
Set Calling preference to "Wi-Fi preferred"
I got alerted to this the other day when I couldn't make a phone call in a week cellular area but strong working wifi. I have wifi calling enabled, and tried both settings on priority of wifi vs mobil for calling. What I get is "mobile network is not available. Connect to wireless network to make a call"
The mobil provider (Tello) supports wifi calling on all phones.
Any ideas?

The problem on my Pixel 3XL was that my E911 number was not enabled at Tello. That solved it for the Pixel. However, I also have a Nexus 6 running Lineage 18 with Tmobile and that one's wifi calling doesn't work even though E911 is enabled at Tmobile. For now I'm using Google Voice on that one when I'm out of cellular range.
Hi all, will this phone work on Verizon and support Wifi calling, also any fresher roms?

I think it depends on the phone's baseband build. IDK about other ROMs.
When my S10e is in Airplane Mode and then I connect to either of the two Wi-Fi sources in my home, "T-Mobile Wi-Fi calling" replaces the "Airplane Mode" indication at bottom of pull'd down notification shade (versus notification statusbar, which still shows airplane icon). This works about 9 times out of 10, i.e. once in awhile it stays in airplane mode, makes me turn off airplane mode in order to make a call (Tmo's choice, I guess, because I keep Wi-Fi Calling enabled in Settings). But my S10e is running on the latest stock Tmo baseband. IDK about Verison.
