Divert all calls: Dial **21*[number]# and press call.

Divert when busy: Dial **67*[number]# and press call.

Divert when no answer: Dial **61*[number]# and press call.

Cancel all diversions: Dial ##002# and press call.

Check voicemail: Hold down the 1 key or dial your voicemail number.

WiFi calling not working — fixes (How to Enable WiFi Calling Android)

A greyed-out option usually means the device or plan doesn't support WiFi calling — check with the network that it's enabled.

Dropped calls when switching between WiFi and mobile are normal during handover — staying on one connection avoids this.

If WiFi call quality is poor, get closer to the router, verify at least 1Mbps upload speed, and try restarting the router.
