AT&T sucks where I live, probably does elsewhere. So activate wifi calling and it sucks. It is on in settings but you have to deactivate and re activate daily to use it. Wifi is working in house since turning it off renders phone useless for internet usage. Just disgusted with how poor everything works these days. Samdung phone by the way.
Anyone else see similar?

Well, since AT&T has an effective monopoly in most markets and attempts by the government to control them (IE net neutrality, privacy, regulation) are DOA, TFB.

It wasn't that long ago that to make a phone call, I had to be at home. If someone wanted to call me, I had to wait at home on them. The fact that a device the size of a pack of gum makes and receives calls at all, and has enough computing power to run the mercury space program should amaze you

Going hungry sucks, not having safe water sucks, not being able to make a wifi call?

Exactly! The phone you hold in your hand is way more powerful than the computers used to land on the moon.

I'm old enough to remember having to Dial the number.

And by dial I assume you mean turning a rotary dial instead of pushing buttons

AT&T sucks everywhere. Verizon isn't much better but it is better.

Ignore the haters in this thread. Just because the world is at war and people are being killed and starving it doesn't mean that your terrible calling experience is irrelevant. Your call quality matters.

IMO possibly one of the greatest comedy bits ever, and fitting for the circumstances.  Do yourself a favor and watch the whole thing..

Believe me, I've told customers to "Give it a second! It's going to space!"

I'm not hungry, have safe water, donate to a St. Jude for less fortunate children. My problem today is phones because I am no longer interested in HDMI problems.

I am not amazed because these features worked and everyone has one. When I purchased my first car phone that could record three voice mails totaling 15 seconds each and no one else had one I was more amazed. I think the engineered end of life in these products sucks.
