Learn about Wi-Fi Calling

Find out if your phone supports Wi-Fi Calling and how to set it up.

DETAILED INFO

Wi-Fi Calling lets you talk, text, and use Visual Voicemail over an active Wi-Fi® connection. In the U.S., Wi-Fi Calling is used when a cellular signal is weak or unavailable. Outside the U.S., your phone will use a Wi-Fi network instead of a mobile network if both are available. (Wi-Fi Calling is restricted in some countries.)

Check phone compatibility

To find out if your device supports Wi-Fi Calling:

1. Tap Settings on your phone, then tap Cellular (Apple® devices) or Connection (Android® devices).

2. See if Wi-Fi Calling is listed.

If it is, your phone can support it.
If not, your phone isn’t compatible.

Or, you can download a list of phones that support Wi-Fi Calling (PDF, 136KB).

Yes. When you place a 911 call, the call will go over the cellular network, if possible. If a cellular network isn’t available, device location data will be used to locate you. If that data isn’t available, the address you provide in your E911 will be used. The address must be located in the Domestic Coverage Area and cannot be a P.O. Box.

Be sure to update the E911 address of your Wi-Fi Calling location, so we can find you quickly. You can change your location info on the same screen where you turned on Wi-Fi Calling.
