Enabling WiFi calling

So, I came from Verizon Prepaid … overall, the transition wasn’t bad with activating and moving from an older iPhone to the 14. But — I can’t seem to activate WiFi calling… “Sorry, we ran into a problem with your order. Please call Customer Service at 800-922-0204 from a different phone to complete your order. Close this page to continue.”

I’ve spoken with no less than 4 reps on chat (“including advanced support”) and telephone and frankly they are clueless. Reboot telephone, reset network settings, turn off WiFi, have at least 3 bars of service … now they want me to go to a store to ensure I have signal strength and then they can engage third level support? Guess my word isn’t good enough. Who can help since everyone is clearly reading from a script? apparently customer service thinks some folks don’t know how technology functions …

Same issue here.  The solution for me:

1. Put your old Verizon SIM card back in your phone.  Yes, the SIM has been disabled, but just do it. 

2. With the Verizon SIM in your phone, turn on WiFi calling.  Turn it off again.  

3. Put your Xfinity SIM back in and see if you can enable WiFi calling.

The issue is that each provider accesses functions of the phone differently.  For some reason, going from Verizon to Xfinity without doing a network reset or entire phone reset will leave some residual Verizon settings that Xfinity cannot touch.  This causes issues like not being able to turn on WiFi calling.   You might need to also do a Network Reset while the old Verizon SIM is in your phone if the above does not work.  

Good luck

@blueman-2​ Were you able to fix the problem? I got the new iPhone 14 Pro Max from Xfinity and having the same problem. Everyone with Xfinity is clueless.

Thanks. I pulled off the case of the iPhone 14 (Pro) and realized it’s only an eSim so I can’t try this method. Appreciate the help though!

XM support? Called back today … 3 people, all clueless again. The last one wanted me to activate my eSim and send me an article… HELLO, I just told you voice and data work. Clearly these people don’t listen.  Who should I reach out to Cory Harriger, Greg Butz?

My Xfinity mobile iPhone 14 Pro Max does not allow me to enable wifi calling. Every time I toggle on to enable wifi calling, it shows, "Sorry, We ran into a problem with your order. Please call Customer Service at 800-922-0204 from a different phone to complete your order. Close this page to continue." I contacted several times to enable wifi calling on my iPhone 14 Pro Max that I got from Xfinity mobile. The first time, I spent a few hours with an agent troubleshooting this problem, and finally, the agent told me that she would create a ticket and solve the problem in 24 hours. However, nothing happened over a week! I also talked to them over the phone and did similar troubleshooting, and nothing solved the problem and was told they would call me the next day and it would get resolved. Then, I was chatting with an agent named Ginni just before writing here and did similar troubleshooting again, and Ginni could not solve the problem. While talking with this agent, I felt these agents had no idea about the wifi calling. During the chat, Ginni asked me to contact Verizon because the error message above shows Verizon's number. Ginni later asked me to contact the phone manufacturer! These are the quality of services that Xfinity mobile provides. I have never been a Verizon customer, but the Xfinity Mobile customer service agent is asking me to contact Verizon to solve the Xfinity network problem! Several people warned me not to get Xfinity mobile; now I'm paying the price!

You may try to suspend and then reinstate your line. This is known to fix some problems such as SMS from phones ported from Verizon where Verizon settings didn’t get removed. 

Best bet is to call XM and ask for this to be done by tier 2 support that has more capabilities. 

Here is an article on suspending a line: https://www.xfinity.com/mobile/support/article/temporary-service-suspension

Have another phone available during this process.

Due to account security, our options with Xfinity Mobile accounts are very limited so we're unable to perform any device or account specific requests over this platform. This includes billing, sales, device questions, etc. You can find a wealth of information regarding Xfinity Mobile on our Xfinity Mobile Support Pages.

For all Xfinity Mobile related questions please contact Xfinity Mobile by calling or texting 1 (888) 936-4968, or reach out to our Secure Online Chat.

Carrier WiFi calling is enabled by default on all Xfinity Mobile phones, so you don’t need to do anything to activate it.

Phone WiFi calling is a feature specific to your handset device. All iPhones available on Xfinity’s network have this feature. 

I no longer work for Comcast.
