A greyed-out option often means unsupported device or plan — the provider can confirm whether it's enabled.

It's normal for calls to drop during WiFi-to-mobile handover; staying on one connection prevents it.

Poor WiFi call quality? Move closer to the router, check upload speed (1Mbps minimum), and restart the router.
