Hi,

I have a new Samsung S20 , updated to be on latest software but i dont see the option to enable 'wifi calling' (like on my S9)

in MyO2 on browser it says its enabled?

any ideas where the setting is on the phone

@Icemanjack

It also needs to be enabled on your account by customer service (regardless of what your MyO2 says), so call them first to check.

Numbers here

You then need to wait 24 hours and reboot your phone to find the settings to turn it on.

Edit:

Open Settings from the home screen.
Tap Connections.
Toggle Wi-Fi Calling to On.

If for whatever reason you don't see the Wi-Fi Calling toggle in the settings, you can enable it from the phone's dialer. Here's how to do so:

Open the dialer from the home screen.
Tap the three vertical dots on the right.
Choose Settings.
Toggle Wi-Fi Calling to On.

i tried the customer support number but appears they are only taking emergency calls for lost /stolen etc and the service disconnected me

is there any alternate contact .. or can in store assist here?

im only having this issue after having upgraded to S20 last week .. my old device a S9 this option was available

trying to enable as i get very poor mobile reception at home

@Icemanjack

You need to contact O2.
All numbers are in this guide
Or 202 from your O2 mobile.
Advice from an O2 Guru to get through:
When you call 202, you will be asked for the reason you are calling.
Stay silent for 15 seconds and you will be taken to the keypad options.
Press 2 for Everything Else
Press 5 for More Options
Press 7 for Anything Else which will put you though to someone.
You can also try saying "Upgrade" or "Fraud" to be connected to an advisor.
