WiFi Calling

There are two ways we can use our phone.  We connect to a cell signal.  This is the most common when we are on the road.  We can also have WiFi enabled which allows us to download mail, browse the internet, etc.  But if you want to make a phone call using WiFi you have to have WiFi calling enabled.  This was great when we were in Europe but it can work for you at home where you might not have a cell signal.  If you have internet and have good WiFi, you can make a call enabling WiFi calling. You may need to have a cell phone signal when you enable this on your phone so you might need to enable it when you have that signal but once you have it enabled you can use your phone at home or abroad, wherever you get a WiFi signal without using minutes or data.
