Ditto! I've been there! For weeks my phone would not work properly. Voiceover stuck on everything I did. Receiving and sending phone calls became a nightmare. I found out by turning off Wi-Fi calling all of my problems were fixed. I am now able to enjoy my phone once again. I don't know what the problem is between voiceover and Wi-Fi calling, but something is certainly wrong. They do not work well together at all, at least not on my phone!
