Can the HTC 10 do Wi-Fi calling and if so how do you set it up

Read this, it is possible to make WiFi calls as long as you are connected by a wireless network (wifi), and the sim card from you carrier is in the phone.

It can, I have unlocked htc 10 and AT&T service. Unfortunately AT&T doesn't support Wi-Fi calling for the HTC 10. But you can use apps like hangouts or Skype

AT&T supports very few phones on wifi. Not like Verizon or Tmo.

Works great on my HTC 10 on Verizon. Use it a lot at home as my signal seems to hang around 2 bars and that seems to be the trigger point for wifi calling. very smooth

Agreed. Several time i have had some interference but overall works real well.

Does an icon pop up when it's in use? Also, is there a way to force the phone to use wifi. I'm frequently in an area with poor reception but excellent wifi - but I'm never sure if I'm actually using wifi calling? I have it enabled in my settings. (Verizon).

Never used WiFi calling to be honest, but if you turn of your cell service and are only on WiFi, does it work?

That's an interesting idea. I'll try it next time I'm in that location.

Put in airplane mode and you'll have no cell service. Then make a call, works fine.

Doubtful. This wifi calling via tmobile or verizon just routes you call through the available wifi network. To make a phone call over wifi, but without cell service, you'd need a google voice number.

 

[cbreze]

If you have an active, valid Verizon sim in your phone and turn off your cell service it will go thru wifi. Without a sim, no.

The thing is I thought in Android 6.0.1 the information Wi-Fi calling built in.

The feature needs to be activated by the carrier as far as I understand it. Had it pushed to my S6 by Verizon long after I actually got my S6. Verizon wasn't onboard with this at first. Took them longer to come around to it than some of the other carriers. I think most if not all of the new Verizon phones have this enabled now.
