Galaxy S7: Enable/Disable Wi-Fi Calling

Galaxy S7: Enable/Disable Wi-Fi Calling

By Mitch Bartlett 6 Comments

You can place calls from your Samsung Galaxy S7 over an available Wi-Fi network with the Wi-Fi calling feature. The feature is handy if you’re in a place with Wi-Fi and no voice signal. Enable or disable the feature with these steps.

  1. From the Home screen, select “Apps“, then choose “Settings“.
  2. Select “Advanced calling“.
  3. Select “Wi-Fi calling“.
  4. Slide the setting to “On” or “Off” as desired.

When this setting is set to “On”, your phone will automatically place calls over Wi-Fi if it is connected to a Wi-Fi network. You may notice much clearer, high-definition calls if connected to a strong wireless network.

You can also tap “When Roaming” to tell your S7 which network to use when roaming.

FAQ

Why don’t I see this setting?

Not all carriers allow Wi-Fi calling on their phones, so the setting may be removed.

    How do I make the wifi calling notification go away?
    AT&T does not support wifi calling and I have AT&T but I don’t know how to make the notification go away.

    Yeah, I been doing that (wtf’s steps) every time the “Turn on WiFi Calling?” notification appears, which has been every day since maybe a week ago. But the notifications are an ongoing nuisance — I am continuously prompted to turn WiFi Calling on. The question is: How do you turn the “Turn on WiFi Calling?” NOTIFICATIONS off? (Sorry, I haven’t found italics on my keyboard.)

    I have a S7 and continually get a notification to set up wifi calling. I have a AT&T pre paid plan so when I select it it tells me wifi calling is not available. I would like to clear/delete that notification from appearing on my screen but I cannot figure how to do it. Can you help?
