Here's how to set up your iPhone to use Wi-Fi calling when available.
When turned on, Wi-Fi Calling may improve call quality while indoors.
- Wi-Fi Calling is only supported on the iPhone 6 or later.
- To activate Wi-Fi Calling, your iPhone must be connected to the Verizon network.
- Activation requires a valid US address for E911 functionality and must be in a Verizon 4G LTE coverage area.If activation fails and you receive a message to contact Verizon, relocate to an area with better signal reception (e.g., if indoors, step outside) and try again.
- Your iPhone must be connected to a Wi-Fi network for Wi-Fi Calling. To add a network:
- From a Home screen, navigate: .
- Tap theWi-Fi switchto turn on.
- Tap the preferred network, enter the password then tapJoin.
- You can make and receive calls over Wi-Fi even outside the Verizon network coverage area.
- Wi-Fi calls always originate in the US, even when you're outside of the US.
- Calls to US numbers are not billed (except for 411 or other premium calls).
- Calls to international numbers are billed according to your international long-distance plan.A whisper tone, which can't be turned off, advises of potential charges before the call connects; ending the call before it's connected prevents costs.
- below is an example of a connected Wi-Fi call.
