shorty Yeahh, you see, when I do that (Airplane mode on, then turn WiFi on) - I can NOT make a call nor I can receive one, I get "Turn off airplane mode or connect to a wireless network to make a call". Tried waiting for a while thinking maybe WiFi Calling need some time to "link up" - no go.
I feel like test during which you only turn off mobile data is false as it might, I suspect, keep the cellular connection going. The airplane on test is re-confirms what I was actually experiencing.
