Wi-Fi Calling on Fizz iPhone Confirmed Working in iOS 27 Beta 5

Wi-Fi Calling finally confirmed working on Fizz iPhone

A thread on r/FizzMobile reports that Wi-Fi Calling now works on Fizz Mobile iPhones running iOS 27 beta 5. After months of speculation following the discovery of carrier bundle flags in earlier iOS 27 builds, members are now confirming real-world calls being routed over Wi-Fi on the Fizz network.

This is the first time Wi-Fi Calling has been confirmed functional for Fizz subscribers on iPhone, making Fizz one of the last major Canadian carriers to flip the switch on the VoWiFi feature for iOS devices.


What the beta 5 reports confirm

Community members on the thread report the following working as of iOS 27 beta 5:

  • check_circle Wi-Fi Calling toggle now appears under *Settings → Phone → Wi-Fi Calling* on Fizz iPhones.
  • check_circle Incoming and outgoing calls complete successfully over Wi-Fi, including when the cellular signal is weak or unavailable.
  • check_circle SMS/MMS over Wi-Fi follows the same routing, keeping texts working in dead zones.
  • check_circle The feature uses the regular minutes and messages included in your Fizz plan — no add-on required.

These reports line up with the carrier profile keys spotted earlier in the iOS 27 beta cycle, which pointed to the Vidéotron / Fizz IMS backend being enabled for VoWiFi.


How to enable Wi-Fi Calling on your Fizz iPhone

If you are running iOS 27 beta 5, here is how to turn it on:

  • 1. Open Settings on your iPhone.
  • 2. Tap Phone, then Wi-Fi Calling.
  • 3. Toggle on Wi-Fi Calling on This iPhone.
  • 4. Confirm your emergency address when prompted (it is used for 911 location routing).

If the toggle does not appear, try restarting your iPhone or toggling Airplane Mode after your carrier profile updates. On beta builds, Fizz support may not always be able to troubleshoot the feature, so expect occasional quirks until the public release.


What this means for Fizz subscribers

  • check_circle Better indoor coverage: Basements, concrete buildings and rural areas where cellular signal is weak now have a fallback.
  • check_circle No extra cost: Wi-Fi Calling uses your plan's existing minutes and messages.
  • check_circle More parity with Android: Fizz already supported Wi-Fi Calling on many Android devices, so iPhone users now have the same capability.

It is still a beta, though — features can change between builds, and the toggle may behave differently until iOS 27 ships publicly this fall. We will keep this post updated as more members confirm their results on newer builds.


RCS: still pending on iOS

The earlier carrier bundle findings also hinted at RCS support. As of iOS 27 beta 5, RCS on Fizz iPhones does not yet appear to be live for all users — the confirmed reports so far are focused on Wi-Fi Calling. We will follow the thread and update this article if RCS activates in a later beta build.

Bottom line

Wi-Fi Calling on Fizz iPhones being confirmed working in iOS 27 beta 5 is a big win for subscribers who have asked for the feature for years. If you run the beta, flip on the toggle and give it a test in your worst coverage spot — and if you are waiting for the stable release, it looks like the feature is finally on its way.
