What is wifi calling? Why use wifi calling? Will wifi calling work on my carrier? Will wifi calling work on my phone? Those are a few questions you may be asking yourself. We cover all of those topics and much more in this video so check it out to learn more.
How is wifi calling different than using apps like Skype, Viber, WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger? Wifi calling uses a wifi network to place a call or send a message instead of sending it through the cellular network. This can come in very handy when you're on the edge of a cellular network and get poor reception. It also works great if you're in a building which can block the signal from getting in, especially in the basement.
Wifi calling is Free! You won't need to add a special plan or package onto your existing plan. You'll just need to be on a carrier that supports wifi calling and be using a device that is compatible as well. All major carriers currently offer wifi calling so whether you're on AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, or T Mobile you'll be covered. Many smaller cellular providers like Republic Wireless also offer wifi calling. Which phones work with wifi calling? Many smartphones are wifi calling enabled but it will depend on your carrier which models are available. iPhone 6 and 6S, iPhone 6 Plus & 6S Plus, Samsung Galaxy s6, s7 and note5, Samsung Galaxy s6 edge & s7 edge, LG v10, G4, K7, G Stylo and Blackberry PRIV are just a few of the phones compatible with wifi calling.
Will wifi calling use my minutes? That's another question you may be asking. That will depend on your carrier and plan, some don't count the minutes used over wifi and others do so check with your particular carrier to see how they handle this.
Not sure how to set up wifi calling on your phone? Not to worry, we cover how to turn wifi calling on in this video as well. Both for iPhone (iOS) and android phones.
How do you get better wifi calling? If you want to get into even more depth on how you can make your wifi calls even better we'll explain the settings on your router and how to maximize your call quality. This will improve the clarity of your calls and make using HD Voice even better. What is HD Voice? HD Voice is premium call quality through your cell phone. It doesn't cost any extra you just need a compatible device and carrier.
If you don't want to mess with settings we also cover plug and play solutions to get you going and peak performance.
Well done! Clear, articulate and easy to understand, even for a non tekkie, like me. Thanks.
I wasn't sure why my wifi calls are dropped or even not calling. This explains very well. Thank you.
If you don’t have service, chances are you’re not gonna have WiFi. And if your power goes out, that’s a whole different story. My carrier told me to put WiFi calling on for the hurricane coming (Dorian), but what use is it if your power goes out? Do people usually lose service during storms?
I don't know if this is standard, but my router has a backup battery so even if you lose power it will still work for a period of time. Might be useful for you if you lose power often!

@@p3757 Of course, your Internet connection could fail too. Even "POTS" telephone service, with a pair of wires going back to the central office is disappearing, in favour of VoIP over cable or fibre.
No Cellular Signal but there is Wifi connections and am travelling internationally, say Greece. Is Wifi calling applicable?
Yeah, it can
which no will be appearing on call receivers cellphone when I'm using wifi calling feature..?
Good question Yogesh. If you use the method of WiFi calling through your carrier (if they support it) it should show up as the same number for calls on a cellular network.
Sir, if i am using wifi calling, can i receive call from someone using cellular signal?
your voice is so soothing
no bro its soothing🤦♂️

Why would WiFi calling use cellular data if it’s running using WiFi?
EXACTLY
Cellular data is access to the internet and wi-fi is the internet. However, wi-fi doesn't count agaist your cellular data.
I hope that makes sense to you.
This video was excellent on finally explaining this concept to me, thank you so much. Important follow up. At 1 point you mention the amount of data a wifi voice or video call uses. I'm not an expert on the lingo, but I thought the whole point of Wifi in general is to not use your data. So if Wi-Fi calling is using your Wi-Fi service, why does data come into play? This is important to me to know because I don't have unlimited data and so I don't want to use Wi-Fi calling through my wifi service if it turns out it's still going to eat up my minimal data anyway. Sorry for my confusion and I hope u answer!
Even though you're using WiFi and Internet for the "last mile", you're still using the carrier's phone network for the rest of the call.
Very helpful. My wife just got a Samsung A8 and now I understand the principles behind WiFi calling. The bigger challenge was finding where to go on the device to set it up.
Where do you go?
AWESOME!!!!! We got a new router and now my wi-fi calls are dropping. Fantastic explanation on how to solve this problem. Thank you!
This guys voice and tone literally screams to us “Dam, y’all so dumb u don’t even know what *wifi* calling is?? Dam, lmaoo 😂”
You do have an excellent voice for instruction.
I turn on wifi calling and im connected to wifi and it says the number u haave called is not available from this service
I love your voice, call me over wi fi to make sure it's working on my end...
lol smooth
I am still confused. How a network use wifi which is not their connection?
It's a long story and there are videos about it, but essentially VoLTE (4G), VoNR (5G) and WiFi calling are all essentially the same thing. WiFi calling is just another method for connecting to the cell phone network.
Quick question should I have my Wi-Fi calling on all the time or off I'm with AT&t and I have a Samsung Galaxy s22 I just want to know if my calls will go through if I have if it's going to affect my calls through my regular I have unlimited data unlimited text I just want to know if I should have my Wi-Fi calling on or off
how to activate wi fi calling on samsung s7, i can t find the option
The easiest way to do it is by going to the phone application. Then, go to the settings for that application. Once there, scroll down to find 'Wi-Fi Preference'. Now make selection 'Wi-Fi Prefered', any other choice out of the three. Good luck.
I have an android device but i dont have advanced calling on my settings. Any tips where i could find that so i can turn on wifi calling?
Use the stiings in your phone app, not general phone settings 🙂
*settings
My wifi calling flips from weak cell service to wifi calling and I want it to only use WiFi calling when I'm at home. Because I still get people who call me complaining they can't hear me. I look at the phone and it's showing that wifi calling is turning on and off.
I was going to set this up on my att s7 edge but it wants you address for 911 purposes. I decided not to set it because I'm assuming if I'm on a wifi network away from my house and need to dial 911 it will use my home address as the location I'm at, not the real location I'm at. So if I'm at a coffee shop and dial 911 it will send emergency services to my house... What good is that?
Hi Duchy, that's an interesting dilemma. The 911 address sounds a lot like what MicroCell requires for GPS Location Verification. If you are at your home address, linked to your WiFi network and using WiFi calling, the 911 feature should work. However, if you're using WiFi calling on a different WiFi network (coffee shop, for example), I don't think it would still link to your home address.
Not sure which carrier you are using, but Verizon posted some really helpful information about the 911 addresses purpose here: www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-204184/
Can I receive calls when on WiFi calling?
When you're on WiFi calling, your phone works exactly the same as when you're not.
Thanks, figured it out. For the holidays I am on call for my work. My sister lives in a rural area where I have no phone single. So in the past I’ve missed getting with family for holidays fearing I would miss an emergency call. But now I connect to her WiFi and all is great.@@James_Knott
Speed set to 1.25 times = so much better.
Interesting and very helpful info. Thank you👍🏽
Thanks for nice explanation of WiFi calling. I would like to add one more thing, when you are abroad you can also use the WiFi calling to avoid expensive roaming charges. I tried this and works excellently. So when you are in Bangkok for example your Family and friends remain connected with you and vice versa.
How do you know that you are using wifi calling and not roaming?
@@sadiak20 Switch on wi-fi calling and switch off roaming when you are abroad.
omg another sloooooooow video, even at 2x
Lol
Yaaaaa
I have a Galaxy J2 (i know it's too old). I did everything you said but it didn't work. what could be the problem with it? I enabled wifi calling but all I get is my cellular data is too low to make a call.
Hey guys, use Wi-Fi it will work facetime??
Great video, Now, we understand the Concepts Behind WiFi calling…
Does the other person that I call need to have WiFi call setting on or can I just call anyone without worrying about their settings on their phone?
You can call anyone. It only affects your connection to your cell company.
When I put on wifi calling it says on so is the switch, but on the bottom it says disabled then it does not work. Please tell me if you know how to fix.
Does it have something to do with the encrypted chats end to end chats
This is TOTALLY MESSED UP,., LITERALLY,., A VERY SWEET AND WELL EXPLAINED HOW TO GET YOU ANYWHERE AND ANYTIME 24/7
Why they NEVER EXPLAIN how to make a WiFi call? 😠 😡
You make them exactly the same way as a regular call.
Where is the wifi calling option in redmi Phones? please reply

I found out that although Metro PCS doesn't have international roaming, I can still use wifi calling when I am there.
I dont have that setting on my android. Its an old republic moto, now with Verizon.
I have a Samsung A30s, I don't see the WiFi Call in settings? And also in Call settings?
mb = mega bits
MB = mega bytes = 8 mega bits

Thanks for the info I just found out my phone has wifi calling s8
I have a Samsung Galaxy S9 and my carrier claims they support WIFI calling for this device and my subcribtion is enabled for this functionality. On the phone however, the option to enable WIFI-Calling is not visible. I have been calling the support from the carrier and Samsung, but no solution so far. My brother has an S9+ and my wife an S7 using the same carrier, both have WIFI-calling working just fine. Any idea how I can get this resolved?
What I think is that your phone doesn't support.
It has been solved by changing the phone to the same model but one that is delivered without a free SIM card from the Belgian Telecom Provider Proximus.
what if you have a unlocked T-mobile device and want to use it on At&t will the wifi calling work ?
I have a verizon phone but my varrier is at&t & it doesnt work on me
Locked phones, even when they've been unlocked, are not allowed to made wi-fi calling. That's one of the reasons why I bought a generic global phone with wi-fi calling capabilities.
Well explained
Thank you
Your done! Is so boring..

mb = megabit and MB= megabyte. major difference
I need some help. We changed our internet service to ViaSat which uses a satalight now my wifi calling is not working well. I can hear them but people struggle to hear or understand me?
The bit rate for your data plan is low.
Thank you for the informative video. My question: If I install a cell phone signal booster (because of a weak signal at my house) and I get a strong signal from the towers, can I or should I turn off the wireless switch on my phone. I'm not sure what to do. Thanks
You won't need wifi calling, at all, then.
How many time can you say check with carrier, damn😢
My Galaxy S9 plus has Sprint and in settings it has CALLING PLUS
Yes, the voice is very nice.
And it's refreshing to see body without any tattoos.
Can i use Wi-Fi calling without service, my phone got disconnected
Hello, we know more about cellular signal boosting. It's probably best to contact your carrier. Thanks for watching! This link may be helpful: www.cnet.com/news/what-you-need-to-know-about-wifi-calling/
No, you must have a working account.
Will it work if mobile network is OFF but wifi is ON
Not true.. you must live in the south.. SO OUT DATED ... someone fire this dude... please 😅
Dude the video is 7 years old
Wifi Calling 1000 times!! LOL
Kuskus. . 1 month ago. . I found out that although Metro PCS doesn't have international roaming, I can still use wifi calling when I am there.. . 1 like.
Wifi calling cuts in and out, has an echo and is very close to useless on my phone. Fortunately, I have good reception, so I just turn it off. I have MetroPCS and an LG phone. It's not just my phone either. I have two friends who live in different areas and they have the same problem.
If i have no data can I still wifi call
Even when your plan doesn't have cellulat data, as long as you have wi-fi calling in your phone, you can use it. The main reason is that while you're connected to a wi-fi spot you have data in your phone.
I still don't understand. Oh well. I must not need it.
Will wi-Fi calling work with iPhone 10?
It drains my battery faster vowifi
I can't find advance calling on my android phone
WiFi Calling sucks. Thank you...
I turn wifi calls on but it stills doesn't work.

Thank you!
It's named "Wi-Fi CALLING". But if your cell phone's Wi-Fi Calling is turned on, does that also imply that calls RECEIVED will also be via wi-fi?
Informative, Thank you
Must the person u calling also have wifi calling or can u just place it like a normal call?
Your setting doesn’t effect your colloquist as long as you both are connected to the network. So, yes. You can call despite of whatever network your friends in.
Like normal.
My wifi calling when turned on keeps sending me constant updating its annoying
My device don't have advance calling what I do
How do you know if you are successful in setting up Wifi calling and are on a Wifi call, or that you made Wifi calls after enabling the feature?
All current phones that support wi-fi calling show an icon in the top bar telling when calls will be made via wi-fi.
Very informative. Thanks
Not available where im at. Dont have a carrier
Does the recipient phone also require wifi in order to recieve a call??
No.
So do you need a sim?
NO if you have wifi at home you can make free text and phone calls through your wifi or If you go out somewhere that you can connect to their wifi like at a coffee shoppe or a shopping mall, I like to use it at home that way i save on mins, If your wifi at home is strong you won't drop that many calls
You do need a SIM card to be allowed to use a network to route your call. You can only make emergency calls without an active SIM card.
One thing you forgot to mention is when you set up WiFi calling, you will be required to provide a physical address for 911 calls. For this reason, I don't normally connect to other WiFi, as I wouldn't want to find myself providing a wrong address, in the event of an emergency. As for whether WiFi calling uses minutes, it's irrelevant for me, as I have unlimited Canada wide calling & texts and 90 GB of data (which I have never even come close to using). Also, HD voice is also available with regular voice over IP via the Internet. I have set up several office phones that use it.
I have a Google Pixel 6 on Rogers, a major Canadian cell, Internet and cable TV company.
Quickly all smartphone android device update software. Vowifi calling. Samsung j2 all people waiting.
I go thru metropc and I have the Samsung j7prime..
When I go to setting it has a toggle to turn wifi calling on and off and it gives 3 options below that toggle for the options to use WIFI Preferred, Cellular Preferred, and No Cellular...
So since I use my neighbors wifi that he gave me his password but lives down the hall in my apt complex and it's not very strong of a single. So with this said I'm just curious if I toggle it off and set the option for Cellular Preferred? Because sometimes lately I notice my wifi calling notification shows it lit up eventhough I never turned it on..
I have dropped calls using either option anyway..
Whats the point if you have to be on a service that supports this. This is how they get you. I have a ATT pre-paid sim card but wifi calling does not work unless I pre-pay. ***Not Free***. Why cant I use just wifi calling from my phone with no apps?
My Verizon page is down please help
My orbic wonder says it has wifi calling. It is a Verizon carrier and I cannot figure out how to turn it on. PLEASE HELP
Great explanation, thanks!
talks too much tells nothing important
Great job.Thanks for posting the video !!!
Can be explained in 30 seconds. Like books by Americans, too much details and stories that seemed irrelevant.
How can I use wifi calling if I puchased my phone not from a carrier?
Going to use Sony Xperia 1 II and willing to switch to any carrier. Help! :)
I have Samsung galaxy S 20 + and I have tried to get it to wi fi calling but it will not hook up. What is wrong??
I have Verizon on a Android phone and at&t on a Android phone, and most of the it works but lately it doesn't work, where I live I don't have any cellular service, what can I do for them to work always?
No wifi calling is not free IF you use it through a carrier because u have to pay the carrier monthly. It is free IF you use a free app that allows you to make free call using the phone app.

I was just wondering what WiFi calling was because my phone call say WiFi calling it say WiFi on the screen so I use WiFi calling today for the first time and it was a very good service
I have four 5g phones I saw this going across the screen and I just turned it off on all of my devices .I don't see the point of having it .
Hi,
I can go to the setting and switch on the wifi calling. But it does not work. It doesn't show the sign mixing with call and wifi. How could I solve this problam?
I have Iphone 5S and 6. One has a Sim Card and the other does not. SO I have one active line and I switch devices by popping by sim card between the two. Question is can I call a non simed device with a simed device through wifi. Also how do I call the phone that has no sim. I am guessing because one has no service, the answer is no regardless of internet availability.
I cannot see any options for wifi calling even my wifi calling is on....when i press call, it still uses my cellular load not in wifi calling, where i can find the wifi calling in phone calls during dialling cellular numbers? Thanks
Thank you for explaining wifi calling
Sir can you help me about this because i can call 1 only contact but my other contacts like my mother and father i can't even send a message them.
