wireless calling not working on cellphone

Unfortunately, WiFi calling doesn't tend to work well with HughesNet, if it works at all. The high latency and the processes in place to help mitigate the effects of it cause issues with WiFi calling.
Unfortunately, it's very unlikely that you'll be able to get it to work properly.
HughesNet does offer their own Voice service, though. It's just an idea in case you can't get home or cell phone service where you are.
We have the same issue with Iphones - WIFI calling does not work at all. Download of pics and messages is stopped or slowed down if the phone is connected to WIFI.
As for the suggestion of Voice over IP - we have it - does not work well either. Have an ongoing trouble ticket with them over dropped calls and garbled connections on numerous occassions. Sometimes works flawlessly, sometimes not, no rhyme or reason to when it does not work.
The rhyme and reason is probably a combination of latency and of congestion (traffic) on the beam.
