Wi-Fi Calling - But Triggered with Modes and Routines (Android)

[ISUKyro]

Got a random one for CF.
I like to use WiFi Calling when at home. Sure it is easy enough to toggle on and off.
I can't use WiFi Calling at work. Network won't let it. So if I forget to turn it off, I'm in a jam for a bit.

Question: using Android Modes and Routines, can anyone spot a way for Wifi Calling to trigger on when I am at home?

I have found it easy enough for the home location to be the trigger, but I haven't found WiFi Calling to be one of the things that can be an action. Any chance I am overlooking something?

Can you simply have your phone ignore the WiFi network at your workplace?

I never use the Wi-Fi at work. I'm the only Iowa State fan there, they'd nail me with all the CF traffic.

I know you can setup network metering per wifi point but not sure how to stop wifi calling from using that network. If it was me, who has unlimited data, I would just forget my work network or use a VPN (which is probably also blocked)

This seems like an easy enough solution. Otherwise you could check into IFTTT and see if that does it. I haven't used that in a long time but it was pretty customizable.

You might be able to program an NFC tag to turn off wifi calling and put it at your desk at work, and then program another one to turn it back on and put it in your car or someplace convenient at home.

Then you'd just have to play tag with your phone at each location.

Oh I'm sure they already have me busted for that one and are just waiting until they need to use it against me.

I could but to save the family money we are on a very small data plan with Xfinity Mobile. So I really want to take advantage of wifi whenever I can

Never give ammo to the opposition!
