I have an iPhone XR. I’m living in a house where is a poor signal and it is difficult to make or receive calls. There is very good WiFi. What settings do I need to change on my phone so that I can make and receive calls while I am at home?

Virginia,
You need to switch WiFi Calling on in Settings>Mobile Data on, assuming your network operator supports WiFi calls.
Regards,
Tony

Virginia,
Looks like you are with EE mobile network. The Network Selection entry 'UW' is an unknown to me. I’m with Three and my entry says ‘Three WiFi Call’. I’d suggest checking with EE about using WiFi calling.

Virginia,
EE definitely supports WiFi Calling. Are you manually connected to a specific network such as university WiFi? You’d need to check with EE but this may prevent WiFi Calling from working.

Hi,
I feel your pain.
UW stands for Utility Warehouse, and while EE is available via UW you don’t get the full EE experience and unfortunately WiFi calling is not available on EE via UW.
UW will let you rent a signal booster for the phone, I have it and its very poor.
Steve.

Virginia - maybe time to switch to
Three, if you're out of contract with UW. Three's wifi calling works
great. We are in rural Norfolk with a poor mobile signal from all
providers (although Three is the strongest of them) and we can easily
use our mobiles boosted by the wifi.

Ah! So that explains it. I will have to change from Utility Warehouse because I am sunk without a phone.

I’m in Studland, Dorset. Any advice about best provider? Graham - I’ve looked at Three’s website. It says to phone them for advice about plan etc. But that is what I can’t do! Have you an email address I could write to?

Try a livechat on their website? Most providers have a coverage checker where you can type in your postcode
