WiFi Calling Issue

[BriceApp]

I have WiFi calling enabled as I have for number of year on my iPhone, iPad, and Mac. It works on all devices if the iPhone is on the WiFi network. If I turn WiFi off on the iPhone then the iPad and Mac both give the message “WiFi calling, not available on this WiFi network”. I am trying to determine if this is a bug, as it worked during the later beta stages of iOS 26, but hasn’t since then and I am currently on iOS 26.1 and it still gives this message. I am also on AT&T.

In the Cellular settings does "Calls on Other Devices" say "On" or "When Nearby"? If its the latter check the last option under Wifi calling.

Wi-Fi calling is a function of the cellular network so its can be weird at times. "Calls on other devices" requires your iPhone to be on the same Wifi. "Wifi calling on iCloud devices" does not, but you need to make sure that specific feature is on.

Yeah I know this. It says ON, but what is weird is the description text under that says nearby and on WiFi, instead of what it should say is using your iPhone cellular plan or something to that nature. I really think it might be a bug.

I also feel like that setting should not be under FaceTime on the iPad and Mac anymore but under the phone settings on each. Maybe they are in the process of moving settings around, I don’t know.

I will submit a feedback to Apple.

Same exact issue.

I blew away EVERYTHING
- new eSIM
- removed NumberSync for Apple
- disabled WiFi calling for 3 days > re-enabled
- opened case with AT&T Office of the President

No luck.
Like others, worked up until iOS 26.0.
26.1 is broken. Does not work. Period.
