I seem to recall you can force wifi calling.

First you need to turn 'airplane mode' on, then enable the Internet connection through you home network

Hopefully you should still get text messages

Have you tried this to see if wifi calling works?

My Broadband account firewall found in the members centre is set to 'Low' there are no changes required for a plusnet supplied hub

And there's the fix thanks very much

@insussex To assist others who may have this problem could you clarify which part of Dan_the_Van's post do you consider to be the fix?

Putting the phone in Airplane mode, which will work but my Iphone does not have to be in that mode, if WiFi is available WiFi calling is activated.

Or was it changing the setting on the Plusnet Member centre firewall?  This can be the problem because on the higher setting the firewall blocks the data protocol required for WiFi calling to work.

@insussex  Thanks for the reply, it's surprising that you have to use Airplane mode.
