Unable To Activate WIFI Calling at this time: Wi-Fi Calling Not Working on Android?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Wi-Fi Calling (aka Voice over Wi-Fi or VoWiFi) is a built-in feature on most of our\u00a0current smartphones. Wi-Fi Calling lets you make and receive voice calls, texts and video calls over a Wi-Fi network instead of using a cellular network.<\/p>\n

Try using Wi-Fi Calling if your cellular network service is weak or unavailable and Wi-Fi is available.<\/p>\n

Does Wi-Fi Calling use the data on my plan?<\/h3>\n

No. Calls and texts made over Wi-Fi to numbers in the US don’t use our cellular network and don’t count against your mobile plan’s data allowance. However, the Wi-Fi network you’re connecting to may charge an access fee.<\/p>\n

How much data will a Wi-Fi call use?<\/h3>\n

Voice calling uses about 1-5 MB of data. A 1-minute video call typically uses from 6-30 MB of data depending on video resolution. The actual data usage of your voice or video call varies.<\/p>\n

Is Wi-Fi Calling available on my smartphone?<\/h3>\n

Most of our current smartphones have a built-in Wi-Fi Calling feature. To check if your smartphone has the feature either:<\/p>\n

Go to your smartphone’s settings and search for the Wi-Fi Calling feature.<\/p>\n

Visit the how-to simulator for your smartphone to find compatibility.<\/p>\n

What do I need to be able to activate Wi-Fi Calling on my phone?<\/span><\/h2>\n

To activate Wi-Fi Calling:<\/h3>\n

First, your smartphone must be:<\/p>\n

1) Android \u2013 Either connected to the Verizon network or able to access the Internet through a Wi-Fi connection.<\/p>\n

2) iPhone \u2013 Connected to the Verizon network.<\/p>\n

3) Your smartphone must have HD Voice activated (most older Android\u2122 devices list HD Voice under the Advanced Calling setting).<\/p>\n

4) HD Voice is activated by default for our current smartphones. If you have an older smartphone you may need to activate HD Voice manually.<\/p>\n

5) Your smartphone must be able to access the Internet through a Wi-Fi connection.<\/p>\n

6) You must accept the Wi-Fi Calling Terms & Conditions when they are displayed.<\/p>\n

7) You must confirm, update, or enter the US address when it displays (this is where you want emergency personnel to go if you call 911).<\/p>\n

8) iOS smartphones must be connected to the Verizon network in the US and can’t turn on Wi-Fi Calling outside of the US.<\/p>\n
