Wi-Fi Calling with Starlink not always working


Recommended Posts

I do not have cell service where I am located but rely on Starlink Wi-Fi calling to make and receive calls on my iPhone. It does not always work...or when I dial it says CALL FAILED.... or my phone never rings and then two hours later I see I have a voicemail. Why?

I have this issue as well but it is also not limited to WiFi calling. VOIP calls are the same as well as video calls. I contribute this to the low upload speeds and inconsistencies of the upload with starlink. On any given day I will see very good download (50-250), with these speeds, even on a bad day of 50Mbps is still plenty fast but the upload is another story, (.5-8) this is incredibly slow and if you have smart devices that are transmitting signal (ie cameras, smart outlets, baby monitors (wifi)) then that .5Mbps is gone in a flash. So now when you try to make a call there is nothing left.

 

Starlink needs to fix this, I have written them multiple times stating I am willing to pay more if they can give me faster uploads.

I have the same issue when calling wifi over starlinik but what works for me is I have a Femto cell which is connected to my router. I turn off wifi calling In the phone which then makes it use the 4g signal from the Femto cell.  No issues doing it this way. The Femto cell box was given to me free by my cell provider as we have no signal at our address.

I am also experiencing WIFI calling issues. It worked perfect for the first few months of my Starlink service and slowly it works periodically. So sometimes during the day my phone ringings and I make calls with zero interruptions, then I can't make a call at all. Often it will work again if I turn the phone completely off then back on yet not always. Why is this happening to so many of us. Oh and to add texting is working the entire time still over the WIFI.
