When turned on, Wi-Fi Calling may improve call quality while indoors.
- Activation requires:
- a valid US address for E911 functionality.
- a cellular data or Wi-Fi network connection.
- Wi-Fi Calling settings don't transfer after switching devices or performing a factory data reset.
- Wi-Fi Calls always originate in the US, even when you're outside of the US.
- Calls to US numbers are not billed (except for 411 or other premium calls).
- Calls to international numbers are billed according to your international long distance plan.A whisper tone, which can't be turned off, advises of potential charges before the call connects; ending the call before it's connected prevents costs.
