RE: Difficulty activating WiFi Calling
Hello Chip, The message that you are receiving, informing you that you don't have the right kind of account, is precisely why I am suggesting that a new SIM card is necessary. I can only speak as to my experience with A T & T Wireless. Simply stated, not all SIMs are created equal. A few years ago, maybe 5 or 6, now that I think about it, I ran into some kind of an activation service problem. After countless attempts, I finally got in contact with a 5th level tech support guy who immediately discovered the solution , said solution being that a new SIM was required. I honestly cannot remember the tech jargon but, effectively, it came down to the serial number or something on the SIM that was flagged in some way that the A T & T network rejected as being not quite right or too old, or something. Anyway, recently, while on a lunch date, a friend of mine had a problem activating her WiFi calling feature. We simply walked over to the A T & T Wireless corporate store and I asked them to swich out her SIM. The tech didn't even ask why. He just did it and, of course, I was able to activate her WiFI calling service, on the spot. That's about all I can say on it as to the why. Of course I cannot guarantee that switching out the SIM will work for you but, doing so won't cost you any money and it's can't hurt anything, right? (smile) This is to say, you have nothing to lose but definitely something to gain.

I too am having this issue, and I'd like to know the why of it before I ask for it. Fyi, I get a web page which tells me that due to my type of account, I cannot use wifi calling; but phone support says there is no account type limitation. Thanks.

I've been grappling back and forth with AT trying to set up WiFi calling and they can't seem to get the code needed for doing this. When I activate WiFi calling, and enable it, I get a message saying that they can't set it up until I call a particular 800 number which I've done. The technician I'm dealing with told me that VoiceOver might be the problem, but I don't think it is, because many of you have set up this feature. Any help will be truly greatly appreciated. Thanks.
