With Wi-Fi Calling, you can make or receive a phone call if you have a Wi-Fi connection in an area with little or no cellular coverage. Learn how to make a voice call using Wi-Fi Calling.
To turn on Wi-Fi calling, go to Settings > Phone > Wi-Fi Calling. Then toggle on Wi-Fi calling on this iPhone.
You might need to enter or confirm your address for emergency services.
If Wi-Fi Calling is available, you’ll see "Wi-Fi" in the status bar while viewing Control Center. Then your calls will use Wi-Fi Calling.
When cellular service is available, your iPhone uses it for emergency calls. If you turn on Wi-Fi Calling and cellular service isn't available, emergency calls might use Wi-Fi calling.
Your device's location may be used to aid response efforts when you place an emergency call, regardless of whether you enable Location Services.
If you enable this toggle this will share this ability for Wi-Fi calling with your other Apple devices. This allows iPad, Apple watch and other devices where you’re signed in with the same Apple ID to make and receive calls even when your iPhone isn’t nearby.
