How to enable WiFi Calling on Xiaomi Phones

Written by

Xiaomi phones with the latest software update started supporting Wi-Fi Calls. You can use Airtel WiFi calls or Jio WiFi Calls on Xiaomi phones provided they are in the compatible device list in Airtel or Jio based on which network you are using. In this post, let us explore how to enable WiFi Calling on Xiaomi Phones.

I have tested this method on Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro running MIUI Global 11.0.6. Other phones such as Redmi 8, Redmi 8 Pro, if you have updated to MIUI Global 11.0.6, will support Wi-Fi calling on Airtel or Jio network in India.

For enabling WiFi calling you should be connected to Wi-Fi and VoLTE is enabled.

How to enable Wi-Fi Calling on Xiaomi Phones

First, check for the latest software update and install if any update is available.
Connect your phone to Wi-Fi and ensure VoLTE is enabled.
Now Go to Settings->SIM Cards & Mobile Networks.
Now tap on the SIM card for which you want to enable the WiFi calling.
Scroll down till the end.
First, check whether Use VoLTE is enabled. If not, please enable it.
Then, you will find an option called Make Calls using Wi-Fi.
Enable it.

Now whenever your phone is connected to WiFi, you can make calls through WiFi even if you have a very low cellular signal. Do that, you cannot make calls when you don’t have a network signal.

WiFi calling is very useful if you are staying in an area where the cellular signal quality is not great but you have a fast broadband connection. At the time of writing this post, you can use this feature if you are Airtel and Jio users only.

Here is the list Jio WiFi and Airtel WiFi compatible Xiaomi phones.

This list will change when more devices receive the latest software patch.

Redmi K20

Activated VOLTE and VOWIFI, however, when trying to make a call my Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 and Xiaomi Redmi Note 9S both attempt to connect to the cellular network first, doesn’t see it and then tells me to connect to a mobile network to make a call. There’s no WiFi calling symbol in the upper right corner either. Any guesses on why? Thanks, very good article otherwise.

Well..I could activate vowifi…on my Mix 2 …it is displaying on the screen fine….Volte has disappeared but when I disable wifi…volte appears next to the Mobile signal.
So I am assuming that BOTH are working. BTW I could make calles with vowifi also.
ONLY things that I am having issues is that the phone makes all calls using vowifi even if it is showing complete signal strength (all bars).
Even when I select prefered method to make calls as Mobile Network…it is placing calls using Wifi…
If anyone has a solution to this…please let me know.
