can't turn on wifi calling after moving to esim

Switched my physical SIM to eSIM last week. Now the Wi-Fi calling toggle says it's unavailable, and it worked before. On Verizon, iPhone 14. Does the eSIM need something reactivated?

turn off any VPN while you set it up, and iCloud Private Relay if you use it. wifi calling has to register with the carrier over the internet and some carriers refuse it through a VPN.

Which carrier? It often isn't the phone at all - moving to eSIM can reset the line on the carrier's side and wifi calling has to be re-provisioned, which they sometimes forget. On an iPhone check Settings > Phone (or Mobile/Cellular) > choose the eSIM line if you have two > Wi-Fi Calling. If the toggle is greyed out or it says it can't activate: - restart the phone - check for a carrier settings update (Settings > General > About, it pops up after a few seconds if there is one) - make sure an emergency address is set on your account, a lot of carriers won't enable it without one Still stuck after a day, ask the carrier to remove and re-add the wifi calling feature on your line. That fixed mine.
