Where is Wi-Fi Calling?

[adminaaah]

I updated to iOS 8 on my T-Mobile iPhone 5 but I don't see the option for Wi-Fi calling anywhere. I mean it's on the 5C and practically 5C and 5 are the same phone but different material so I don't see why Apple wouldn't add it on the 5.
Anyone else facing the same issue?

Did you check to make sure it is enabled (or offered) in settings -> phone -> wifi calls?

Mine drops out sometimes and toggling airplane more brings it back.

I don't even see the option at all??

They are not the same phone…

From the iOS 8 guide
Call over Wi-Fi. (Not available in all areas. iPhone 5c, iPhone 5s, or later.)

Ah, that would explain why I never got it working on my 5. I assumed it wasn't in the beta. Thanks. Still confused why it keeps dropping out for me.

How good is your internet connection/wifi?

Wifi calling toggle doesn't pop up on my phone. I have AT&T

Right now, the option only shows up with T-Mobile and only if you have an iPhone 5c or above. I assume that you also need to confirm that you're running carrier update version 17.1.

Keep in mind that the 5c uses a different baseband than the 5, which can impact cellular network compatibility. But, I would think that shouldn't impact on whether the phone can use wi-fi calling. Either way, T-Mobile has not enabled it for the 5, and I'm not sure if they will.

AT&T has stated they will offer it in 2015

Did you check settings to see whether or not your 5 was actually an iPhone 6.... Or one of the devices that actually supports Wi-Fi calling.

What part of "we're starting with T-Mobile and EE" was confusing to you?

Both devices must be using iOS8, both must be using same iCloudID/AppleID. Both must be on same Wifi. And Handoff must be toggled on. Then a reboot of both devices should get it working.

Very strong. I have an AirPort Extreme and an airport express acting as a relay.

I don't think so but your devices must have Bluetooth LE (4.0). If you have an iPad 2 or a MacBook older than late 2011 (I think was the cutoff) it won't work.
