Wi-Fi Calling is an awesome feature some versions of the Samsung Galaxy S9 have that allows you to make calls using the Wi-Fi network instead of the wireless provider’s network. It’s useful where your Wi-Fi signal might be stronger than the wireless signal.
Not all versions of the Galaxy S9 have Wi-Fi calling available as an option. Your wireless provider must allow this feature. You can turn Wi-Fi Calling on with these steps.
Verizon
- Go to “Apps” > “Settings” > “Connections” > “Advanced Calling” > “Activate Wi-Fi Calling“.
- If prompted, enter a valid emergency address that would be useful if you have to place an emergency call.
AT&T, Cricket, MetroPCS, and T-Mobile
- Go to “Apps” > “Settings” > “Connections” > “Wi-Fi Calling” > “On“.
Once enabled, calls will automatically be routed through Wi-Fi when your wireless carrier’s signal is low.

My Galaxy S9 keeps saying, please try to set up wifi calling later, every time I try to turn on wifi calling. No one can seem to figure out how to make it work. I have tried everything I can find and nothing works. Any suggestions?
Martin T Wilson says
Followed your directions on Samsung Galaxy S9 to set up WiFi calling with At&t.
It did not have a way to set the emergency address or turn on WiFi calling.
What did I do wrong?
