Wifi calling intermittent on iphone 13 ioS 16.5

My wife is experiencing intermittent Wifi calling  on her iphone 13 ioS 16.5. However, on the same home network etc my old iphone 6S+ ioS 15.7.6 experienes no such issues. We use a Smarty data only 4G sim for internet access in the house. We have a TP-link mesh wifi in hte house that we both connect to. All Smarty sims - any idea what the issue might be with my wife's phone? We've tried resestting network connections, re-boots etc.

    Pedro_1699902  A quick consultation with Señor Google suggests that there are problems with iOs 16.5 cutting off wifi.

    Probably will be cured with a further update once enough people have road-tested 16.5 and given free feedback!

    MSF is correct re iOS 16.5 and Wi-Fi issues.

    Download iOS 16.6 which has been available since yesterday and hopefully solves the issue you are experiencing.

      Thanks MSF I did try Senor Google but hadn't included ios 16.5 in the search. At least it's not operator error!

        Pedro_1699902  For one silly moment, I actually thought that you were suggesting that you suspected your wife of being guilty of 'operator error'.

        I rapidly came to my senses and realised that you couldn't POSSIBLY have meant that !!! 😱
