What is Wi-Fi Calling?+
Wi-Fi Calling, also known as VoWiFi (Voice over Wi-Fi), allows customers to make and receive voice calls and SMS using a Wi-Fi network directly from the phone’s native dialer, even when mobile coverage is weak or unavailable (such as basements or deep indoor areas). No additional app is required.
Do I need to install an app?+
No. Wi-Fi Calling is built into your phone. If your handset supports it, you simply switch it on in Settings — there is nothing to download.
Can I use Wi-Fi Calling if the other party does not support it?+
Yes. The other party does not need Wi-Fi Calling or VoLTE.
Which handsets support Wi-Fi Calling?+
Not every phone does — the handset has to be certified. Type your IMEI or your handset model into the box at the top of this page and we will tell you straight away.
Where do I find my IMEI?+
Dial *#06# on your phone and the IMEI appears on screen. You can also find it in Settings, under About phone. We use only the first 8 digits, which identify the model.

I cannot find Wi-Fi Calling in my settings.+

This may happen because:

• Your SIM is not yet provisioned
