[S21 fe] Wifi calling won't work on airplane mode

[Sulaimn]

On s21 fe, wifi calling turns off( and fails to turn on) when the phone is in airplane mode and connected to wifi.

This is a feature that's availble in iPhones and other phone. Why is galaxy not supporting this?

Yes. it won't work in Samsung. You enabled aeroplane mode to avoid phone calls and then what's the use of enabling wifi calling. No logic.

But still u can't compare Apple with rotten orange 😀

The logic is that if you are in a low cellular coverage area and you have Wi-Fi, you can save some battery with airplane mode on and Wi-Fi calling enabled.

That concept is wrong. Few years back wifi didn't work in airplane mode. Now it does. If wifi is there, it's technically possible to enable wifi calling. Its a feature provided by the carrier.
It seems samsung does not support this feature.
