Wi-Fi Calling Now Available!

What is Wi-Fi Calling? 

Wi-Fi Calling is a feature that allows you to make and receive calls and texts over a Wi-Fi connection instead of using your cellular signal. This is helpful in areas with poor cell service, such as inside buildings or in rural areas. 

Most smartphones support Wi-Fi Calling. To enable it, go to your Settings app and look for the Wi-Fi Calling option. Once it’s enabled, your phone will automatically switch to Wi-Fi whenever it detects a strong signal. 

Wi-Fi Calling offers several benefits over traditional cellular calls, such as improved call quality, reduced dropped calls, and extended battery life. 

How does Wi-Fi calling work? 

Wi-Fi Calling works similarly to other VoIP apps, such as Skype or WhatsApp, but transmits cellular data packets over the internet. 

To use Wi-Fi Calling, your smartphone must support it. Once enabled, your phone will automatically switch to Wi-Fi whenever it detects a strong signal. 

If you’re concerned about a call dropping, you can turn on Airplane Mode, which will force your phone to use Wi-Fi Calling.
