I recently made an overseas trip where I made use of Wireless calling and it worked great for me there and I configured my phone to prefer it over roaming if Wireless was available which was a great option. Now that I'm home I would like to do the same thing because my Verizon Wireless coverage is very poor here at the house, barely usable. However I don't see any way to configure my phone to do the same thing where it will use the wireless over the cellular network if the wireless is available. What am I missing? Right now it continues to try to use the cellular network which again is barely usable at best.

Are you referring to WiFi calling as opposed to cellular network calling? What make/model phone are you using?

Actually have tried it but gotten some mixed results. First when I go into
Airplane Mode, it shuts off WiFi if I had it running, so I have to restart
it....pain.... Then when I tried to make a call several times it would pop
up a message saying I had to turn Airplane mode off to make a
call....pain....and not sure why. And several times folks calling me went
direct to vmail when calling me. Sounds bit like WiFi calling was not
working even when I was connected. We just got FTTH and have what should
be a very good Inet connection now. And I'm using 2.4G with usually full
4 bars.
But yes with Airplane mode on, I can make and receive WiFi calls it seems.
Just a PITB to have to keep switching WiFi and Airplane mode on and off
every time I leave or arrive at home. Was hoping there may be some way for
the phone to intelligently prefer and switch to WiFi calling if it was
available, similar to the option I did find where if I was Roaming, it
would not use cellular network if WiFi was available. I had asked VZW
about installing a pico-cell in the house but they hedged saying I should
simply use WiFi calling feature in my phone. I thought it would work
smoother than it seems to....
Thanks for response.
