Set up Wi-Fi Calling on Android

Authors list

Many models and carriers support Wi-Fi calling when in low reception areas. If your phone and plan support it, here's how to set it up.

Depending on your Android device, the option to enable Wi-Fi calling might be in a different part of your phone's settings. Here are some possible locations:

  • Settings > Advanced Calling
  • Settings > More > Advanced Calling
  • Settings > Network & Internet > Mobile network > Advanced > Advanced Calling
  • Settings > Wireless and Network Settings > More or More Networks
  • Settings > Networks > Call

Still can't find it? Look at the top of the settings page — some versions have a search bar. If yours does, you can search for "Wi-Fi Calling."

After enabling the Wi-Fi calling setting, you may be able to indicate whether you prefer to use Wi-Fi by default even if a cellular network is present, or if you prefer to only use Wi-Fi if no cellular network is present.
