WiFi Calling
From Open Source Ecology
- Tracfone card issues - phone plan died - no cell serice
- Problem - unknowen
- Solution: go into Settings -> System -> Advanced -> Reset Options -> Reset Wifi/Mobile/Bluetooths while checking box for Erase Downloaded SIMs.
- Solution 2: turn off phone, remove SIM Card, leave it off for a couple minutes with phone off, reinsert SIM Card, turn phone on, and turn off Mobile Data (so you are not using mobile data unwittingsly.
- Swipe down, down again, swipe left, and Mobile Data should be turned off.
- You should be good to go.
- But, make WiFi calls - not through data [1]
- On Pixel 2XL, option is Prefer -> Wifi and Data. It does not have an option for wifi only. It does have option for carrier only.
- To fix this - go to phone itself (ie, the cell phone app) -> menu -> settings-> select Calls -> Wifi Calling. On my phone plan, WiFi Calling happens to be disabled.
- Wifi calling - turn it on. Sometimes there are problems with it - see [2]. If your cell phone provider disallows it - you can hack it... Go into Airplane mode. Then turn on your wifi. Connect to network. That's it!
