“You must accept the Wi-Fi Calling Terms and Conditions when they are displayed.
You must confirm, update or enter the US address when it displays (this is where you want emergency personnel to go if you call 911).

Note: iOS smartphones must be connected to the Verizon network in the US. You can't turn on Wi-Fi Calling outside of the US.”

Thank you. I had not heard of this before, or I had forgotten it. I suppose it makes sense.

And thanks for the additional info. My takeaway of the part in red is to turn on Wi-Fi calling promptly upon establishing service (with any carrier, MVNO or otherwise).

There was an interesting sequence of events. Apparently I opened this thread before you edited your post, then you edited your post while I was reading it, then I clicked Quote, and there was more of your post quoted than I had just read. It was weird until I figured it out.
