WiFi Calling

Wi-Fi Calling is a service for Android and iOS smartphones providing the ability to make and receive phone calls over a wireless network connection, rather than the cell network. It's simple to use with no separate application or log-in required. Wi-Fi calling is a free service when calling to a US, US Virgin Islands, or Puerto Rico number. International rates still apply for international numbers.
