Maybe I just don't understand Wi-Fi calling and how it is supposed to work but I do not think mine is working correctly. I have AT&T and live in a part of the country that has VOLTE or HD LTE or whatever you want to call it. Anyway, on Monday AT&T activated this feature. I turned in on in the settings of my iPhone 6 Plus it didn't turn on immediately but I had read somewhere that it might take time so went on with my life and forgot about it until someone posted here showing what it looked like. So then I started searching Google trying to figure out why mine did not show as working. If I turn on Airplane Mode and then turn wifi back on it will come on and stay on for a while, even after I turn airplane mode off. It then disappears. If I go into cellular and change the data setting to either off or data only, the wifi calling symbol will again appear and remain even after I re-engage voice and data. But after a while it goes away again. I have reset network settings, turned the phone off, done a hard boot, nothing changes. Is this normal and if not, any idea what is wrong and what I can do? Thanks for any thought you can give to this.

I can find wi-fi assist on my iPhone but not wi-fi calling. Is it only available on the iPhone 6's?
No. It's available from 5c onwards.
Here's some information:

Thanks, J.A. It appears I'll have to call my carrier to find out what's going on. According to the info on that link you posted I should have it available but it doesn't even show up on my iPhone. I'll call AT&T on Monday....

According to the info on that link you posted I should have it available but it doesn't even show up on my iPhone. I'll call AT&T on Monday....

Hmmmmm!! According to the info on the link I just visited, iPhones 5c and later with an AT&T carrier are supposed to have it. Isn't a 5s equal to or later than a 5c?
To place a Wi-Fi call, you need an iPhone on one of these carriers:

Ah, so. Then it appears that Apple support knows not whereof they speak (as some famous person once said)....
Thanks, Bear...

Best of luck, my friend...
So I talked to CS at AT&T because I had to set up a new passcode with them. And at least according to the rep I talked to, my wi-fi calling is working as it should and the AT&T wi-fi calling message will only show when I am in range of a wi-fi signal and my cellular signal weakens. I guess I will see.
