A reader needs help with a phone problem: “When I turned off Bluetooth Wi-Fi Calling automatically turned off. Now I cannot turn it back on even if I enable Bluetooth again. How can I turn Wi-Fi calling back on? I have a Samsung Galaxy A14 5G phone.”
There could be several things going on here. Let’s walk through the possibilities ad troubleshoot.
- Ensure Bluetooth is Enabled:
- Go to the Settings app.
- Tap on Connections.
- Make sure Bluetooth is turned on.
- Check Wi-Fi Calling Settings:
- In the Settings app, go to Connections.
- Tap on Wi-Fi Calling.
- Toggle the Wi-Fi Calling switch to turn it on.
- Reboot Your Phone:
- Sometimes, a simple reboot can resolve connectivity issues.
- Press and hold the Power button.
- Tap on Restart and wait for your phone to reboot.
- Update Your Phone:

- Go to Settings > Software Update.
- Tap on Download and Install to check for updates.
- Reset Network Settings:
- Go to Settings.
- Tap on General Management.
- Select Reset > Reset Network Settings.
- Confirm the reset (this will erase saved Wi-Fi networks and Bluetooth connections, so you’ll need to reconnect to them).
