Wi-Fi Calling - Making Phones Calls With No Cellular Signal

Join us for a quick mobile internet tip - how to use the Wi-Fi Calling feature on your smartphone to make phones calls and TXT messages when you don't have cellular signal on your phone.

This features allows you use other internet sources - like Starlink or another cellular carrier off your hotspot or router. This can help you avoid needing to have a cellular booster on board, or be a great option when traveling internationally without roaming features.

A tutorial on getting bank one time codes internationally would be great. A thought is you could get a SIM in the destination country for a secondary phone, bring your primary phone used for bank one time codes, and connect the primary phone to the secondary phone's data.

This has been a great option connected with our starlink over the last several years. Sometimes I notice that text seem to get stuck in space so rebooting the phone will help reset it. - Kyle

Saved us this summer in Hells Canyon when our truck died. Used startlink.

Spectrum Mobile doesn't let me send or get text messages on WiFI if my data is not available. I'm not sure other carriers do this.

Hi, Let's see if I got it. I use T-mobile on my smartphone, the T-Mobile network is strangely fluctuating depending on where I am located in my house, so if I activate wifi calls, my calls will go through the Infiniti network of my home internet network and all this will be free? Really free?

Thanks! I've always wondered about wifi calling. Never tried it. It would be a great way to make international calls if that works.

I think if we pay manufacturer for wifi pakage enable permanent then it wouldwork when no cellular available

[yinyangcalmness]

I haven't paid my T-Mobile non-contract bill. Can I make a call?

[mundorueda]

OK. How do you turn on wi-fi calling on a i-phone 14? Thanks

[RotaryTeamVincent]

Would have been nice if you showed us how to turn it on.
