What is WiFi calling?

WiFi calling lets you make and receive phone calls and texts over a WiFi connection instead of the mobile network. This is useful when you have weak or no mobile signal but have access to a WiFi network — at home, in the office or abroad. Calls made over WiFi use your existing minutes and texts allowance on your plan.

Troubleshooting WiFi calling not working

Option greyed out: Your device or plan may not support WiFi calling. Contact your network to confirm it is enabled on your account.

Calls dropping when switching between WiFi and mobile: This is normal during handover. Stay connected to WiFi or mobile to avoid dropped calls during handoff.

Poor call quality on WiFi: Move closer to your router. Check your broadband speed — WiFi calling requires at least 1Mbps upload. Try restarting your router.
