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?

No help here
My S9+ had it, but after mandatory you-can’t-stop-this updates after T Mobile bought Metro PCS it is on, the setting no longer has the ability to turn off, and the outgoing microphone does not work on wifi calling

Switched carriers, wifi calling setting is in a different place on my phone. I haven’t found it. I knew where it was before.

I don’t have wifi calling option, been looking for it everywhere, even bixby doesn’t respond to “bixby turn on wifi calling” she says “it is already on” and brings you to wifi which shows that your connected to wifi.

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?
