What is Wi-Fi Calling | How to Enable on iPhones & Android Smartphones

W-Fi calling enables you to make regular calls in low or bad connectivity areas with the help of Wi-Fi networks. Wi-Fi Calling service only works if your telecom operator supports Wi-Fi calling and the subscriber has a strong Wi-Fi connection.

When the network connectivity is low then compatible phones will use the Wi-Fi network to make regular calls through the telecom operator.

The telecom operators dont take additional cost for this service.   

If Wi-Fi calling is enable on your smartphone then it will use the connected Wi-Fi network to make regular voice calls.

Most phones that have been launch recently are compatible with Wi-Fi calling.

You can check this on their phones by going into network settings and looking for the option.

If the option is not available then it means Wi-Fi calling is not compatible on the phone.
