iOS 9 Wifi Calling

[Irock619]

Just downloaded iOS 9. I am traveling in Europe right now so I thought I would be able to use wifi to call my family back in the US. I don't see this option available in the settings. I am using an iPhone 5s on AT&T. Am I not able to use this feature while on foreign cellular? Or does the 5s have this feature? Thanks!

I read from other threads that att has not yet enabled wifi calling, they were waiting for approval from the regulators.

• Launch the settings app
• Scroll down and select Phone from the list of options. (You can also search the Settings app for Wi-Fi Calling if you so desire.)
• Select Wi-Fi calling from the top of the list.
• Slide the Wi-Fi calling switch to the On position.

The next few screens will require you to confirm you want to enable Wi-Fi calling, as well as opt-in to the service. The biggest warning is in regard to emergency services. You'll also be asked to verify the address where you plan on primary using Wi-Fi calling, again, for emergency purposes.
If the service isn't available for your device yet, you'll receive an error page explaining as much but not until you're done with the setup process, which is odd.

After activating Wi-Fi calling on my iPhone this morning, it took about an hour for the "Wi-Fi" indicator to show up next to the carrier name atop my device.

As for placing or receiving a call over Wi-Fi, you don't have to do anything different. Your iPhone will handle it for you; just pick up the phone and dial.

The service is not yet active unless you participated in the Beta. He will not be able to activate wifi calling as of right now.

Like I said....I do not have the option in settings.

This makes sense, thanks! Hopefully soon there will be a public release.
