Troubleshooting WiFi calling not working

Greyed out typically indicates unsupported device or plan, or that it hasn't been enabled on the account yet.

Switching between WiFi and mobile mid-call can cause drops — staying on one connection avoids this.

Poor WiFi call quality is often distance from the router or slow upload — verify at least 1Mbps, restarting the router if needed.
