And we have a great ultra-fast wi-fi coverage in West Quay Offices.

How to Turn on Wi-Fi Calling for iPhones

Wi-Fi calling is available on the iPhone 5c (2013) and later. But it must also be supported by your carrier. Apple lists wireless carriers and the features they support here.

1. Go to Settings, Phone, and tap on Wi-Fi Calling.
2. Toggle on Wi-Fi Calling on This iPhone.
3. When it is available, you will see Wi-Fi next to your carrier’s name in the status bar of your iPhone.

You can also set up Wi-Fi calling on an iPad, iPod Touch, or Mac by connecting them through your iPhone. Here’s how:

1. On your iPhone, go to Settings, Phone, and tap on Wi-Fi Calling.
2. Toggle on Add Wi-Fi Calling for Other Devices.
3. Go to Settings, Phone, and tap on Calls on Other Devices.
4. Toggle on Allow Calls on Other Devices and then toggle on any listed device below that you want to make Wi-Fi calls on.
5. If it’s an iPad or iPod Touch you connected, go to Settings, FaceTime on that device, and toggle on Calls From iPhone.
6. If it’s a Mac, open the FaceTime app and click FaceTime, Preferences, and toggle on Calls from iPhone.

How to Turn on Wi-Fi Calling for Android Phones

The steps may differ slightly depending on the manufacturer of your Android phone and your carrier. Here’s how to do it on Google Pixel phones:

1. Go to Settings, Network and Internet, and SIMS.
2. Look for a Wi-Fi calling option, tap on it, then toggle on Use Wi-Fi Calling.
3. When it is available, you will see Wi-Fi Calling next to your carrier’s name in the expanded notification shade on your phone.

Some Android devices, like Samsung phones, have this setting hidden in the Phone app. Here’s how to find it:

1. Open the Phone app, tap the triple-dot icon at the top right, and tap Settings.
2. If you see an option for Wi-Fi Calling, tap it and toggle it on. 
3. If you don’t see the Wi-Fi Calling option in Settings, look for Calls or Calling Accounts and then tap on your SIM card (your carrier name will be next to it).
4. When it is available, you will see Wi-Fi Calling next to your carrier’s name in the expanded notification shade on your phone.

Can’t find the option on your Android phone? You need a SIM card in your device for the option to even show up. (Once you pop one in, you might need to restart your phone.) If you already have a SIM, open Settings and type “Wi-Fi calling” in the search bar at the top. If you still can’t find the option, it’s time to check with your carrier and make sure that Wi-Fi calling is enabled on your account.

What You Need to Know About Wi-Fi Calling

Wi-Fi calls are typically included in your existing voice calls plan and count as regular calls. If you have limited minutes, Wi-Fi calls will likely count as a part of your allowance.

One thing to note is that any long-distance or international charges you incur for voice calls are likely to apply to Wi-Fi calls as well. As an alternative, try using the call (voice or video) function in internet-protocol messaging apps, such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, WeChat, and FaceTime. You won’t incur charges.

You can also get one of our VoIP plans if you have private office with us and get crystal clear communications for your business.
