How to Turn on Wi-Fi Calling on Android

Wi-Fi calling can usually be enabled by going into the Settings of the "Phone" app and toggling it on. However, with some carriers, you have to turn on Wi-Fi calling with their app. We'll share a few examples below.

On Samsung Galaxy devices, go to the default "Phone" app and tap the three-dot icon in the middle right. Select "Settings" and toggle on "Wi-Fi Calling" if it's not already.
