Wi-Fi Calling Activation on Smartphone Devices

What is Wi-Fi Calling? 

Wi-Fi Calling may improve the quality of voice calls in areas with weak cellular network coverage, no special plan, add-on services and separate application required. It does so by enabling you to make or receive phone calls and texts via Wi-Fi. Please note that, some devices do not support Wi-Fi Calling features.

For Apple: 

  1. Go to Settings.
  2. Tap Phone.
  3. Tap Wi-Fi Calling.
  4. Turn on Wi-Fi Calling. (You might need to enter or confirm your address for emergency services.)
