Apple reports that Wi-Fi calling is available on the 5c (which I own), if your carrier supports it. However, the option is not available on my Settings > Phone screen. Why doesn't Verizon support Wi-Fi calling on the 5c, when Apple says the functionality is available?

iPhone 5C does not support VoLTE. If you are on wifi calling and leave wifi, your call would drop on the 5C, whereas with 6 or later it will switch seamlessly to VoLTE and keep the calling going if the phone has usable LTE signal. For that reason I doubt Verizon will ever turn on wifi calling for the 5c or 5s

Not on the 5C. Not even the T-Mobile version has it from what I remember. It was for the 5S and higher. The 5 and 5C don't.

Ok, so is Verizon not a supported carrier of this feature?
From Apple: "To use Wi-Fi Calling, you need an iPhone 5c or later on a supported carrier."

Wi-Fi Calling is available on IoS 9.3 at least. So, you would need to update the phone software and then it is either under Cellular or Phone in Settings.

Ah they finally added it. From as long as I remembered anything under the 5S never had the option. Nice to see Apple made more devices support it most of the time they don't.

Thanks! Will it take Verizon some time to send out a Carrier update to support this? I haven't gotten the option to enable WiFi calling.

My sister has the iPhone 6 on a More Everything plan and it works. So, I'm guessing it's More Everything and the new Verizon Plans too.
