Fixing WiFi calling issues (WiFi Calling Problems Fix)

If greyed out, the device or plan may lack WiFi calling support; the network can confirm whether it's enabled.

Handover between WiFi and mobile can cause dropped calls, which is normal; sticking to one connection prevents it.

Poor quality on WiFi calls: move nearer the router, check upload speed (1Mbps minimum), and restart the router if needed.
