Is Google Fi wifi calling not working?

What if Google Fi Wi-Fi calling is not working right for you? Don’t panic, there are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the situation. Here are a few reasons things might not be working:

• Your phone isn’t connected to Wi-Fi properly. Verify your connection, as well as check that Wi-Fi calling is actually enabled within the Google Fi app.
• Is this a new line? If you just got Fi and are in the middle of a number transfer, Wi-Fi calling won’t work until the transfer is completely finished.
• Airplane mode might accidentally be turned on. To fix this, just turn it back off. Simple.
• You are using outdated software. Check for updates and apply them if any are found.
• Your phone doesn’t support Wi-Fi calling to begin with. Try searching your phone’s settings for a Wi-Fi option. If nothing shows up at all, the phone likely wasn’t designed to support the feature. For iPhone, go to Settings >General > About, and you should see Wi-Fi calling as an option if available.
