Wi-Fi calling doesn't work, or requests Airplane mode to be turned off
Derekkaz

Hello,

Currently using the Samsung S8, and in the past the Wi-Fi calling option always worked.  Now, I cannot get it to work, and when I try to make a call in Airplane mode, it states "Turn off Airplane mode to make this call?  Cancel; Turn off".  I have tried turning the option on/off, along with the HD calling option as well.  No such luck.

Derekkaz, 

 

I apologize for the issues you've been experiencing with using Wi-Fi calling. I depend on this function myself and I'll be delighted to get this feature working for you again. Let's gather some more information. Are you having any issues with using data while on Wi-Fi? Are you enabling Wi-Fi calling by following these steps http://spr.ly/6581DlnvZ

Derekkaz,

 

Is your device on the latest Software Update? Have you installed any new Apps lately?

Yes, it has all of the latest updates including the new OS update this

week. I get a message that still states "turn off airplane mode to make

this call?". I checked and Wi-Fi calling is still listed as on.

It still does not work. When I try in airplane mode, it still asks to turn it off to make the call.

I'm eager to get this resolved, Derekkaz. Can you confirm if WiFi Calling works normally when Airplane Mode is OFF?
