Forcing WiFi calls

[kmcochran]

Is there any way to force a call to use WiFi versus the cell network? Some nights I'm participating on conference calls and would prefer to have those calls over WiFi since they are long.

Could you put it in airplane mode?

Can I ask why? You get unlimited minutes with fi, it really shouldn't matter.

No, that doesn't work.

One reason is that I get crappy cell service at my house, yet my phone constantly connects to a cell carrier when I make a call, so I'm not even sure if WiFi calling is working. Right now I'm connected to T-Mobile and FiSpy tells me the signal strength is 2147483647dBm and I have no bars, yet my WiFi is showing a signal strength of -70 dBm, so it should choose WiFi, but it doesn't.

The other reason is I'm trying to determine if I can make more calls on WiFi and maybe get a cheaper plan like T-Mo $30/mo. My data usage is low, so it may not really matter.

After you put it in airplane mode and turn wi-fi back on, does calling not work? That's the only way I've found to force wi-fi calling.
