Wi-Fi calls are a great alternative to cellular calls. You don’t need a device containing a SIM card, nor be close to a cellular mobile network tower or can even stay in No Service area, to make a phone call, when you are connected to a Wi-fi .
Wi-Fi Calling is a High Definition (HD) voice service that makes use of a High-Speed Internet connection to let you make and receive calls over a Wi-Fi network. The ability to patch a call using a Wi-Fi connection instead of a cellular one has been around for years, with Skype being one of oldest and most popular apps to do so. Wi-Fi itself operates on a series of standards established by the IEEE and the Wi-Fi Alliance. Wi-Fi calling gives you the chance to make phone calls using a wireless internet connection. It doesn’t go through a traditional telecommunications provider like AT&T, Telia, T-Mobile, Airtel or Verizon, it uses VoIP calls in a way that is optimized for battery life and the user experience.
When you use Wi-Fi calling you won’t be using your carrier’s network connection as you are going to make voice calls through the Wi-Fi network. Wi-Fi calling hinges on a technology called SIP/IMS (IP Multimedia Subset), a technology that lets your phone make and receive phone calls using a regular Wi-Fi network. For Wi-Fi calling you can use the Wi-Fi connection at the hotel, home, office or even a free/paid Wi-Fi hotspot. If your device supports Wi-Fi calling, enable Wi-Fi calling option and you can make and receive calls from area with no coverage.
First make sure your device and operator supports Wi-Fi calling:
You can enable Wi-Fi calling in your device in two ways.
1.Open Dialer > Open carrier call settings > If Wi-Fi call option is present, turn on the option.
2.Open Settings > Mobile network > Sim card > If Wi-Fi call option is present, turn on the option
Now Connect your phone with any Wi-Fi connection and wait sometime to register with Wi-Fi connection. If connection establish successfully it will show Vo-Wi-Fi in the notification bar. And your device is prepared to make and receive Wi-Fi calls.
