WiFi Calling

Hi, new here, new phone A26 5g.

Seems to have less features than my old A51?

Never had a problem with wifi calling, but this new phone won't show it on the top bar.

Tried every fix, set up etc.

Does it only kick in when there is no phone signal?

Baffled!

Can any one help please?

Thanks

    Thank goodness for your answer. 

    I've been overthinking this and was convinced I had a duff phone!

    Thanks for taking the time to help me.

    Mickyh7 Most welcome! The iPhone is the same - it only shows wifi calling in my home occasionally when signal is not available - we generally do get a good signal and have been able to make our expensive landline a thing of the past.

    Mickyh7  You should only see the option when there is no mobile signal available. The phone will use mobile by default and only switch to wifi calling if necessary (and if permitted in Settings).
