Any advice appreciated.

Update and more info.
First, with wifi calling works 'most' of the time. Everyone in the household has Iphones (5) and they all act the same way so saying its a phone problem doesnt really make sense.
Last night, after reading somewhere else, I tried turning on airplane mode while at the house. I was then able to send and receive regular text messages on my phone! I also received a call on my phone during that time. I passed on the 'trick' to the rest of my family and my daughter, who has the identical phone as me, could not use wifi calling, it came up with a message to turn off airplane mode to make calls.
Having the phone in airplane mode while having WiFi on (to use Wi-Fi calling) may make the difference. If it doesn’t, it could be time to toggle settings back and forth related to WiFi calling, power off the phone and reboot it.
Did your iOS phone devices recently get a system software update? A lot of people recently updated to iOS 15, so maybe there has been a resurgence of this kind of problem?
