WIFI Calling Issue

I live in a valley with really poor signal strength, since switching to Smarty a couple of years ago I've had really good call quality using WIFI calling until the last week or so, now I'm now getting constant drop outs and sound robotic. 

I'm using an iPhone 16 with IOS 26.4.2, I have reset all network settings on the phone (which hasn't helped), I have mesh WIFI so signal strength is good and is set to reboot daily. 

Can I set my phone to always use WIFI calling in anyway?

    Thanks for the reply, But what has caused the change? As I said it worked flawlessly for a couple of years.

      Shaun1234​ Is it possible that the phone discovers a signal more often and then tries to use it? If they beefed up the signal, this may work to your detriment (can't believe that I wrote that really !!!! Most people complain about signal being weaker!!)

    Shaun1234​ In short, I don't believe you can because the phone will always choose to default to mobile signal where it can detect one.
