Since I live in a rural area I've had a problem with my S23 using WiFi calling at home, and I see a LOT of people here have the same problem. It works . . . sometimes. My provider DOES provide WiFi calling and it worked flawlessly on my Note 10, and when I took it to U.S. Cellular they replaced the eSim where it worked for about a week . . . and then stopped. Since this is the first phone I ever used with an eSim instead of a SIM card, I'm sure that's what's causing it. My WiFi connection works great for everything else except for calling. Has anyone found a solution?

THAT'S IT!!

LOCATION SERVICES MUST BE 'ON'. 

I try to keep mine off typically, including all tracking. I turned location back on and the WiFi calling worked immediately (make sure it's turned on in the Phone app of course). I then turned off location permissions for Samsung Internet, Google, etc to avoid unnecessary tracking and learning. 

My service provider couldn't figure this out for weeks. The latest update made having Location on necessary for WiFi calling.

FINALLY! THANK YOU!!
