Re: WiFi Calling not working suddenly
I have not, for two reasons (of arguable validity and, possibly, ignorance): WiFi otherwise works on both devicesfine and, indeed, if the Wireless is off and WiFi is on, WiFi Calling works on the devicesfine as well. My decade of experience with Android tells me that "Network Reset" on the device is *very* destructive of things likeall Bluetooth pairings as well as all remembered WiFi networks. The latter, for me, is really a deal breaker. I can't say what this does on iOS as I've never tried it on the iPads I've had for years, nor on the iPhone which I've only had for six months now. Maybe iOS is different. When Igot conned into it several times in my Android life, it fixed nothing. And it broke lots of things. My iPhone, for instance, has 18 BT pairings. That's hours of effort to get those all setup and tested again. There's no way to tell how many WiFi networks iOS knows about. But it's probably not as bad of a situation as my prior Pixel 2 was--it had over 50. Now, I knew for sure that lots of those were overcome by events and would be no loss. But which ones?!? And what of the others?!? If I had reason to know a Network Reset wouldfix this--other reports of people with the same problem solving it this way, say, I'd try it. Just on an off chance a miracle might occur? Life's too short.4Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: WiFi Calling not working suddenly
Several more data points: WiFi Callng to/from our iPads via "Call" not FaceTime is working in/out--so I conclude that the issue is not with T-Mobile WiFiCalling in and of itself. The phones, after being put in Airplane Mode, and then turning WiFi back on, also place and receive T-Mobile WiFi Calling calls. So, it seems as if the phones are not falling over to WiFi Calling when the wireless network is enabled but of insufficient signal strength to use. I should add, FWIW, the Apple Store phones were Carrier Free (unlocked) and brand-new SIMs were ordered from T-Mobile with service.6Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: WiFi Calling not working suddenly
I just used the Ookla Win10 app to test my Internet connection via WiFi. It tested to a server in Honolulu. It is prime time here.

We have two Apple Store iPhones, one a 12, one a 12 Mini. Both have LTE enabled and work with LTE/5G coverage when we are out and about. ISP is Spectrum; our connection typically speed tests at >300 Mbps down and 19-20 Mbps up. It's been rock-solid for other purposesall day, including steaming media. Phones use WiFi for other purposes without problems.We live on the island of Kauai, HI.Router is an ASUS RT-AC68U. All devices have most current non-beta system software. All have been rebooted in the process of troubleshooting this. T-Mobile plan is postpaid unlimited. WiFi Calling is essential for us since we have marginal to no wireless coverage at home. WiFi Calling on T-Mobile has worked reliablysince we switched to T-Mobile in the fall of 2020. Sometime recently, WiFi Calling has stopped working. Both devices show green wireless antenna, "No Service", greywireless antenna, "T-Mobile WiFi Calling", green wireless antenna, "No Service", [rinse and repeat on about a five second cycle]. The phones both installed a "T-Mobile Service Update" several weeks back; at that time, I noticed that my battery was not lasting nearly as long, and the largest consumer was "No Cell Coverage". (63% over the last ten days, none in last 24 hours.) I don't know when WiFi Calling stopped working; I did put on the latest iOS security update several days back. Any advice? Unreliable WiFi Calling (previously on Pixel/Verizon and Pixel/Google Fi) has been the bane of my wireless existence for several years now. I thought six months or so with T-Mobile with reliable WiFi Calling was a good sign. Now, not so much.3KViews0likes10Comentarios
