Here's how to enable Wi-Fi calling priority on most Android devices. The exact steps may vary slightly depending on your phone model and carrier.
General Instructions:
- Open Settings: Go to your phone's main Settings app.
- Network/Connections: Look for an option like "Network & internet", "Connections", or something similar.
- Wi-Fi Calling: Find the "Wi-Fi Calling" section within your network settings.
- Connection Preferences: Tap on "Connection preferences", "Calling preferences" or a similarly named option.
- Choose "Wi-Fi Preferred": Select the option that says "Wi-Fi Preferred", "Call over Wi-Fi", or something similar. This instructs your phone to prioritize Wi-Fi calls when a Wi-Fi network is available.
Notes:
- Not all devices have this option: Some older phones or carrier-specific models may not allow you to change the Wi-Fi calling priority.
- Carrier Variations: Some carriers have different menu structures or naming conventions for the Wi-Fi calling settings. If you get stuck, refer to your carrier's support website or contact their help desk.
