After 11.3 update......

There's no benefit for it if your cellular signal is good.

Not sure I agree with this. I don't get an LTE signal at my house, so Verizon can only carry voice with CDMA. Doing WiFi calling uses the same HD audio as VoLTE on Verizon, so call quality is much, much higher.

It’s showing now as Eir Wifi call in my house

You don't have this option? I'm not sure it would give you what you want anyway. Wifi calling is not supposed to be on all the time anyway. There's no benefit for it if your cellular signal is good.

FWIW I don't have that option either. Wonder if that's something they took out with iOS 11

Im wondering is this only on specific carriers. Im in Ireland and a lot of our technology is behind that of America and we tend to get it years later. we havent even got VOLTE here yet its been rolled out soon. Im guessing this is purely an american feature on certain carriers. My carrier status is showing as Wifi calling in my house

I doubt that it has to do with being technologically behind at all.
By allowing WiFi calling while abroad the carrier basically shoots itself in its own legs and feet.
Roaming costs are still a major income for carriers and it’s only natural they will do everything in their power to keep it that way, especially with the EU already having banned most roaming costs.

Yeah good point

It’s on my phone, iOS 11.3.1. It must be a carrier thing.

 

[samduffy]

It must be. WiFi calling seems to connect as soon as I enter my house but I have 4 bars of signal so if it’s only meant to be coming on when signal is low about 2 bars why am I seeing it. Not that it matters just more curious

 

[Soreloser]

I don’t have that option in settings for some reason

It is under the Cellular settings for some reason.

 

[samduffy]

Not for me haha

Mine sometimes takes a while to show a change in the status bar. If I'm at -102, and it still shows wifi calling, it won't long. It'll change after a few minutes. The cut off from LTE to wifi calling varies it seems. It's usually at about -108. That would be 1 bar or dot. I'm on iOS 10.1.1. So I still get the numeric value. It seems different now, since I reset network settlngs a few days ago. I get wifi calling as high as -104. Odd. But that may change.

 

[samduffy]

Yeah. It’s no major
Deal anyway thanks for the help
