Wi-Fi Calling — also known as VoWiFi — is a feature offered by many mobile carriers that lets you make and receive regular voice calls using a Wi-Fi connection instead of the mobile network. It works directly through your phone app — you don’t need any special apps.
This technology is especially helpful when cellular coverage is weak or unavailable, ensuring stable and clearer calls wherever a Wi-Fi network is available.

Wi-Fi calling offers several important benefits:

- No special apps or extra configuration are needed.
- The person receiving the call doesn’t need Wi-Fi.
