Make calls over Wi-Fi

In some cases, you can call people over a Wi-Fi connection instead of a mobile carrier. Not all carriers support calls over Wi-Fi.

Before you can make calls over Wi-Fi, you'll need to turn on the feature in your settings.

Important: Some of these steps only work on Android 6.0 and up. Learn how to check your Android version .

Turn on Wi-Fi calling

Important:

  • You may incur additional charges for making calls over Wi-Fi, so check with your mobile service provider for details.
  • To ensure that Wi-Fi calling is supported, check with your carrier.
  • If you have issues with regular calls and your carrier supports Wi-Fi calling, you’ll get a notification to turn it on.

Use a mobile carrier’s Wi-Fi calling

  1. Open your phone’s Settings app.
  2. Tap Network & internetand then SIMsand then Carrier SIMand then Wi-Fi calling.
    • If you don't find this option, your carrier doesn’t support this feature.
  3. Turn Wi-Fi callingon.

Tip:On some carriers, you can use Wi-Fi calling without a service.

Fix Wi-Fi calling issues

If your phone detects Wi-Fi calling issues, it turns off Wi-Fi calling until the problem is fixed. If the issue remains, you’ll receive a notification that says Wi-Fi calling has been turned off entirely. You may need to restart your device or contact your carrier to re-activate Wi-Fi calling.

Place a call using Wi-Fi

Once you’ve set up Wi-Fi calling, you can make a call over Wi-Fi just like any other call. When you’re connected to the internet, you’ll see "Internet Call" or "Wi-Fi calling" on the notification screen.

When you're not connected to Wi-Fi, your calls will use your mobile carrier, if you have one.
