wi fi calling sucks

Hi all,

Has anyone found any tips, tricks, or settings that improve Wi-Fi Calling?

So far I have:

  • Turned off Wi-Fi Assist on iPhone (iOS).
  • Updated to the latest router recommended by the network provider.

Unfortunately, the experience is exactly the same as with my previous router. I had expected Wi-Fi Calling to be more reliable given that it uses relatively little data.

My issue is quite specific: I can hear the other person perfectly, but they often tell me that the first few words I say are cut off, particularly when I start speaking after a pause in the conversation. 

Has anyone experienced this and found a solution?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    Hi MSF,

    Yes — that’s right, I’m using Wi-Fi Calling specifically because in the Home, or near by streets there’s very little mobile signal.  It’s basically unusable on cellular here, so Wi-Fi is the only option. Would be interested if anyone has found a setting or router tweak that helps with that specific delay/cut-off behaviour.

    Thanks 👍
