Resolving WiFi calling problems (Voicemail Not Working Fix)

A disabled toggle often means no support from the device or plan, or it's simply not enabled yet on the account.

Calls can drop during WiFi-mobile handover; sticking with one connection type prevents it.

Distance from the router or slow upload usually explains bad WiFi call quality; check speed (1Mbps min) and restart if needed.
