Dropped calls, low signal bars, and dead zones inside buildings are frustrating, but that’s where Wi-Fi calling comes in. Whether you’re at home, at work, or travelling abroad, Wi-Fi calling helps you stay connected with clearer calls and fewer interruptions.

What is Wi-Fi Calling?

Wi-Fi calling, also known as VoWiFi (Voice over Wi-Fi), allows you to make and receive calls over the internet whenever a Wi-Fi connection is available. It also supports text messaging (SMS, MMS) and video calls.

How does it work?

To use this feature, you simply need a SIM and a reliable Wi-Fi connection. To explain how it works, Wi-Fi calling uses Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology to route calls over the internet through your mobile network operator, like AirMobile, which must also support this feature for it to work properly.

When Wi-Fi calling is enabled, your phone automatically uses an available Wi-Fi network to route your calls or messages if your mobile signal is weak or unavailable.

What about your phone?

Most modern smartphones support Wi-Fi calling. Once it’s enabled, it works anywhere with a stable Wi-Fi connection. To check if your device is compatible:

1. Android (from Android 6.0 and up)

The option may not appear if the mobile network operator doesn't support it.

2. iOS

Where can you use Wi-Fi Calling?

Here are some of the most common situations where this feature could come in handy:

• At home

• In the office or large buildings

• Rural or remote areas

• While travelling

• When there’s a network outage
