Calls Not Coming Through Using Wifi Calling
After a two hour tech chat trying to find out why calls just weren't even ringing through on my Galaxy S22 Ultra, nothing was resolved and no one really had an answer as to what was going on. Tonight, my husband totally missed a call, again, that didn't even ring through on his Galaxy S21FE work phone and he was sitting right next to it. After yet another hour of digging, I found a "Help" article on Xfinity and this is what Step number 2 says:
- To use Wi-Fi Calling, a number of requirements must be satisfied: Use the SIM card that was provided by your operator with your Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra to ensure proper compatibility with all available features or services. You need to be within range of a Wi-Fi network. Click here for instructions to switch on Wi-Fi and search for available Wi-Fi networks. Note: with XFINITY Mobile this service is currently not available.
So, to everyone who has had so many problems with Wifi calling not working, I have no idea how old this article is, they're not ever dated, but it's obviously a known issue and one they still haven't rectified! No surprise there since this has been going on almost a year for us.
The whole article can be found here: https://www.xfinity.com/mobile/support/device-troubleshooting?page=topic/wi-fi/enable-wifi-calling-for-call-and-messages/device/samsung/galaxy-s22-ultra
Turn off the Wifi calling and quit trying to use it, I guess. It won't work. At least not for now.

I am also having this issue. It is exclusive to xfinity - I had ATT DSL before this and wifi calling worked fine.

Im having the same issue on my Google Pixel 6 as you are so its not your phone despite what they are telling you. I've used wifi calling for the last 3 years on this phone when Im at home because I live just outside of my town in a rural farm area. The problem only started when Xfinity "upgraded" my router to the Arris XB7. Any device using the wifi will not have a constant service connection and needs to manually reconnected to use Internet. My laptop now has a 25 ft ethernet cable plugged into it and my tv and PS5 have to be hard wired. This leaves my cell phone hanging with no service when people try to call or text and me having to toggle wifi off and on to connect to the phone service for outgoing calls. There are no internet alternatives and all 3 phone services cant provide data service here because of the mountains around the valley. I cant even get past generic customer service to a real tech because they want me to pay for a tech to check my lines first and refuse to acknowledge the router is the issue. So my solution now is to find a compatible router to buy and [Edited: "Language"] with the $180 year rental charges and the garbage Xfinity streaming tv that no longer has any channels worth mentioning. Im also filing a complaint with both the FTC and FCC so that someday they will classify internet as a utility and force Comcast and the rest to provide a reasonable service. Good luck with your issue and everyone else's here.

Any Xfinity Support Person who knows the answer, please reply.
My wife and I have also had similar problems using our Verizon phones and our Xfinity wireless router since about the start of the year (2024). Last night I was home and tried calling my wife mutiple times to find out when she would be home, and my Google Pixel 6A wasn’t able to connect to the cellular network and kept telling me to enable Wi-Fi Calling, which is enabled on my phone was showing full signal strength on my WiFi. I restarted my phone twice and got the same results, it would not allow me to make or receive phone calls, or send or receive text messages using the Wi-Fi Calling feature which is enabled on my phone. So after restarting me phone the second time I went into the Internet setting on my phone and changed the SSID from the one I have for my house to the Xfinitywifi SSID, and all of a sudden I received 12 text messages from my wife and kids. So what I want to know is why wont my phone connect to my home SSID, but will connect to the Xfinitywifi SSID, or was this just a fluke?
