Wonder why ATT doesn't offer wifi calling on it's prepaid service. Seems like a no brainer.
 
To turn off cellular calling do you just turn on airplane mode then WiFi?
Yes that is how I use it but you can also just turn off Cellular. I also noticed the favoring of Wi-Fi Calling right after I got AT&T Carrier Update 30.1 that enabled LTE Band 8 for Puerto Rico Disaster recovery using Google's Project Loon as of Oct. 20.

Note: How do I update iPhone carrier settings? Make sure your device is connected to a Wi-Fi or cellular network. Tap Settings > General > About. If an update is available, you'll see an option to update your carrier settings.

How would you turn off cellular just on its own?

Looks like it is this icon -- I thought that was the GPS icon.

Pretty sure that's just cellular data, not all of cellular.

You are correct. At work we're next to a Verizon tower. So I unchecked that and WiFi calling is not turning on so - you're right, that's just cellular data. (At home I'm on wifi-calling cuz of poor cellular so I thought that was activating that, lol).
