Wi-Fi Calling
on Galaxy phones
No signal, no problem. You’re covered with Wi-Fi Calling from participating carriers. With this feature, you can make calls and send messages over a Wi-Fi connection when cell service isn't available. Now you’ll never be denied by a weak signal again.
Note: The Wi-Fi Calling feature may not be available on all carriers or devices.
Turn on Wi-Fi Calling
No more walking around in circles trying to get a signal. When you turn on Wi-Fi Calling, you can make calls over your phone's network connection. For this feature to work, your phone must be connected to a Wi-Fi network and have an active SIM card inserted.
Navigate to and open the Phone app. Tap More options (the three vertical dots), and then tap Settings. Tap Wi-Fi Calling and then tap the switch to turn the feature on. If you receive a popup asking you to enter your address, review and enter the requested information, and then tap Save. Wi-Fi calls will now be enabled. To turn Wi-Fi Calling off, just tap the switch again.
You can also enable Wi-Fi Calling from the Quick settings panel. Swipe down from the top of the screen using two fingers, and then tap the Wi-Fi Calling icon to turn it on.
