I have the same problem. My wife and I both have Pixel 2 phones purchased at the same time from the Verizon online store. I thought I was going crazy; I rarely go into my settings and couldn't figure out why we were nearly maxing out our usage when we thought we were connected to wifi 95% of the time while using data. Until last night, we didn't know that both of our phones wifi is disconnecting. We did recently go over our usage and when I complained of continually losing wifi, it didn't make any difference to the customer service person. I've gotten used to the Pixel camera features but I will go back to the iPhone as we never experienced that on their devices.

I have had major issues with my iPhone XS Max.  I purchased this new from Verizon just about two weeks ago.  I will turn on WiFi calling at home because the Verizon signal is weak.  I noticed that at random the WiFI will turn off and I will start missing calls.   I have reset the phone, run in safe mode and it is still happening.  There is a major problem here and Verizon needs ot fix it.

Oh no, I'm sorry to hear about the issues you're experiencing with your Wi-Fi calling. I know how I depend on my phone for just about everything. I'm more than happy to take a deeper look into this to see if we can pinpoint what's going on, this way it can be resolved quickly. Is the issue with disconnecting from the Wi-Fi just your phone or others in that location? Do you have Wi-Fi assist enabled on your phone (see here https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-206983/)? Are your phone and all of the apps installed up to date on their software?

I have a IPhone XS Max and I have the same problem losing WiFi calling and I live in a marginal area so cellular is almost useless.  This is not the only phone with this problem.  My husbands 8 does this and so did my 8plus.  I have seen posts from 2016 about this problem.  My phone is set up right for WiFi calling. I have gigabits WiFi so that is not an issue. Turning the phone to airplane mode will bring the WiFi calling back.  That turns off cellular and on again so I think it is a Verizon issue which they will not fix and blame everything else.

My wifi for all phones on my account keep turning off.  All phoned except for one is fairly new.  Wifi connections are all good and in different households.  Starting to think this is a Verizon issue being done intentionally to those who don't carry unlimited data.

We can help you figure this out. What kind of phone do you have? Is this happening to all Wi-Fi networks? Does the Wi-Fi turns off completely, or are you just not able to connect to an available network?

Same problem here iPhoneX. WiFi calling Turns off every so often. NOTHING works to proactively bring it back online, it just reactivates on its own within an hour. But that doesn't help me when I need to make calls from the basement now.

 

I have tried the update address trick, restarting phone, restarting wifi, switching networks, toggling wifi calling off an on. Nada

 

This has been going on for years now
