Control Wi-Fi Calling settings
Hi David,
I'm not aware of any API that provides tools to manage wifi calling. What do you want to achieve?
Hi Michael, thanks for your reply.
What I wanted: 1) check Wi-Fi Calling status, 2) enforce Wi-Fi Calling (ON)
The first one could be done with Knox Asset Intelligence (need a license and Samsung only), I believe Intune is working on adding extra information in their tooling.
Second I believe isn't possible. If I remember correctly it has to do with something providers since they allow or not allow the use of wifi calling. But there is no API that lets you configure the preffered calling method (wifi or mobile data). I couldn't find an API at least. There might be oemConfigs that offer this, Samsung's version does not.
Thanks Michael for the info.

- Thanks for the info. In my original post: "The closest thing I've seen is to use Knox Asset Intelligence to check Wi-Fi Calling setting status on Samsung devices"

-- That's what I believe as well but my client won't believe me until I get an answer directly from Google / Samsung. With Samsung, I did get a reply from their support team to say KSP (Knox Service Plugin) does not support this right now and asked me to create a ticket that begins with FER in the title (probably means feature request).
FER stands for Feature enhancement request indeed. You could raise one via your samsungknox.com portal. It will land on the Samsung support desk of your country, they will see if more people have requested this and add it to a list. To more people will request this feature, the higher it gets up on the list to be implemented. They will also check if there allready is an API available for this. If there is an AMAPI available, implementation is easier.
When the business case is good enough they might even implement it within weeks but that doesn't happen often.
If you raise a FER, they will at least ask for the following:
- Scope or number of impacted devices
- Problem you have
- Solution you wish to have implemented to solve that issue
- Urgency
- Customer info (information on the end customer's tenant, number of devices, expected grow in number of devices etc)
You really have to build a solid business case to get the best results is my experience. Good luck!
