"Unable to activate Wi-Fi Calling at this time. Please try again later."

[Deepchampagne]

No matter what I try, I'm unable to activate Wi-Fi calling on my Samsung Galaxy S8.  I'm going to setting -> Connections -> Advanced Calling -> Activate WiFi Calling. This is frustrating because I live in an area with poor cell service.

Here's what I've done so far to trouble shoot:

• Restart the phone
• Clear the phone cache
• Enable all Verizon default apps
• Confirmed HD Voice and Video calling is ON.

After all of these, I still just get a message, "Unable to activate Wi-Fi Calling at this time. Please try again later," when trying to activate. Please help.

Where is your WiFi signal coming from?

I'm sorry to learn that you are unable to activate WiFi Calling, Deepchampagne. We are committed to resolving this issue for you.

Have you ever been able to use the WiFi Calling feature at the trouble location?
Are you able to use the WiFi Calling feature in other locations?
What is the ZIP code for the trouble location? I would like to take a look at coverage in that area.

ANSWER:

Settings > Apps > Show System Apps > View: Disabled >> Enable "My Verizon Services"

Make sure HD Voice and Video Calling is on.

Wi-Fi calling does NOT work on unlocked phones. The phone needs to be a Verizon model.

On MOST unlocked phones

Had the same issue following June 6, 2019 update.

Went into Apps/View System Apps/My Verizon Services app, then go into Permissions and enable all of them. That forced the phone to finally prompt me to enable Wifi Calling and that fixed everything.

This didn't work for me, very annoying. Started after the June 6, 2019  update.

Same boat, Galaxy S8+

I was able to get it to work, you have to enable all of the Verizon Services permissions, then Restart the device.
