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.

Fixing WiFi calling issues (Android Voicemail Setup)

If it's greyed out, the device or plan likely lacks support — the provider can verify it's switched on.

Handover between WiFi and mobile causing a dropped call is expected; sticking to one connection avoids it.

If quality suffers on WiFi calls, get nearer the router, verify upload speed, and restart it if needed.
