TELUS Wi-Fi troubleshooting for Wi-Fi Calling

If
TELUS Wi-Fi
is not appearing in areas where you are used to seeing it, try these simple three steps:

  1. Ensure that you still have Wi-Fi Calling turned on

  2. The
    TELUS Wi-Fi
    notification on your device will fluctuate with the availability of a strong enough cellular network. If the Cellular network is strong enough then Wi-Fi Calling is unnecessary and the notification will not display

  3. In rare cases, your internet service provider (ISP) may affect your ability to connect. If you are not able to connect through the following ISPs, you can change the DNS IP address of the Wi-Fi connection on your phone to Google public DNS IP address: 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4 and try again. Please contact us if you are still not able to connect after the DNS change
