Disable wifi L4

How do I permanently disable wifi on my Xperia L4 ? I keep getting popups asking for permission to use the wireless network for calls, which I refuse, but the system immediately asks again. My phone is used as a phone, it doesn't have access to the internet (everything internet related is disabled) and it will never be connected to my wireless network. I would rather not root it if possible.

In wi-fi settings you can find wi-fi preferences.

Switch it off over there.

And disable wi-fi calling, Voip

Hi, thanks for your reply. I've already done all that. It still asks for permission to use wifi for calls.

@bah_humbug

Either you will need to root your device or perhaps flashing a different region firmware so this feature wouldn't be supported

Are you sure that the Wi-Fi is disabled? because i don't receive such messages unless the Wi-Fi is enabled and I'm not connected to any network.

yes, that's why it's so irritating.

If it's just for calling then why don't you get your hands on a Nokia 3310.

The battery lasts for a week and you wont have annoyances from the internet.

Which reminds me of another thing.

For my car I use a SIM card where the provider switched off everything WiFi or I did it myself, don't remember.

Before it was using 3G and after just 2G and no more prepaid drain.

This one lasts a week with all the rubbish turned off.

I'll just put up with it. Next time I change phone I'll make sure I can turn the rubbish off before I get it.

Thanks for all the replies.
