Problem setting up Wifi Calling ion Galaxy S7

[TonyLa]

Hi eForum.

I've had Wifi Calling enabled on my account but the menu item has not appeared under Vibrate in Settings>Apps>Phone. Guy in shop couln't help & gave up. I've tried a power cycle (many times) and a software Update (I have the latest software). 

Anyone have an idea what could be wrong ?

Best regards,

Hi

Im afraid it won't work if supplied by Carphone warehouse. 

See 

http://www.vodafone.co.uk/explore/network/network-improvements/wi-fi-calling/index.htm

To take advantage of Wi-Fi Calling, you need:

A Pay monthly Red or Red Value Bundle, Red+ or Business Premier*

A compatible device:
iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus or iPhone SE

A Samsung Galaxy S6, S6 edge, S7 or S7 edge bought directly from Vodafone at one of our stores, online or by phone through our customer services team

Hi, just wanted to let you know that I got WiFi Calling working on my S7 even though I got it from Carphone Warehouse - I got the following text from Vodafone:

Keep the conversation flowing even where there's no signal. Activate Wi-Fi Calling at no extra charge on your Samsung Galaxy S7 - just text CALLING to 97888 and we'll set it up on your account. You'll then be able to make calls whenever you're connected to Wi-Fi, whether that's at a train station, a country pub or in your home. Find out more at vodafone.co.uk/wificalling Terms apply. To end texts send STOP to 9774

So I texted the number and ticked the WiFi Calling box in the phone settings and it worked!

Have you got it working since last posting in this thread?

TBH I did get it working. After about a week or so, I received an code update to the handset, and I checked for the presence of the menu item after the update/reboot, it had suddenly appeared. I didn't want to make too much of it, in case I wasn't _supposed_ to have it, but it definitely works. 

Best regards,
