What is Wi-Fi Calling?
Wi-Fi Calling is a feature that allows users to make and receive calls over a Wi-Fi network instead of a cellular network. This can be helpful in areas with poor cell service, such as basements, rural areas, or inside buildings with thick walls.
Prerequisites
The telco has stated that in order to use Voice over Wi-Fi (VoWiFi) service, customers must possess a compatible smartphone and a WindTre mobile offer. VoWiFi calling is available to all consumer, professional, and business customers and is included at no additional cost with WindTre's Super Fibra, Super Fibra Professional, and WindTre Business plans.
Activating VoWiFi Service
To activate Wi-Fi Calling, customers need to go to their phone's settings menu and enable the feature. Once enabled, customers can make and receive calls over Wi-Fi by connecting to any available Wi-Fi network.
