I’ve been facing a frustrating issue with my Android phone where Wi-Fi calling just won’t work. Every time I try to enable it, I get the error message: “Wi-Fi calling provisioning failed”. I’ve tried doing the usual things like restarting my device and toggling the Wi-Fi and airplane modes, but nothing seems to work.
What I’ve Tried
Resetting Network Settings: I went into the settings and reset the network configurations. This usually solves various connection issues, but not this time.
Rechecking Wi-Fi Connection: I made sure my Wi-Fi is stable and connected properly. Other devices are using the same network without issues.
Updating the Device: My phone is fully updated to the latest version of Android, so that shouldn’t be a problem either.
Possible Fixes
I’m hoping to get some advice or find out if anyone else has had a similar experience. I’ve read about a few potential fixes online:
Check Cellular Settings: Making sure that the carrier settings for Wi-Fi calling are correctly enabled.
SIM Card Issues: Some suggest that the problem could be linked to the SIM card itself. Anyone experienced that?
Contacting Carrier: Has anyone had success by reaching out to their mobile provider?
Conclusion
I’d appreciate any insights or suggestions on how to resolve this. Maybe if you’ve experienced the same error, you could share what worked for you? Thanks a bunch in advance!
WiFi calling provisioning can fail for various reasons, such as incorrect carrier settings. Ensure your device settings are updated and compatible with your carrier’s requirements.
Great point, lgarcia! Don’t forget about device compatibility. Older models may not support the latest WiFi calling updates, causing provisioning to fail.
Carrier settings really matter. Go to your settings and check for updates manually. Sometimes, carriers release updates that need to be installed for services like WiFi calling.
I’ve faced this before! Sometimes, just toggling the WiFi calling option can re-establish the connection. Also, check if your phone is connected to the preferred WiFi network.
Does anyone else find that sometimes the issue lies with the app permissions on their device? I had to allow specific permissions before WiFi calling worked!
If all else fails, don’t forget to contact your carrier. They might have specific troubleshooting steps that can help, as they know their systems best.
