I have the worst reception in my apartment complex – I literally cannot complete a call without going outside of the building. This is very frustrating.
I am so sick of dropped calls – now there is something to do about it!
With the most recent iOS 9.3 update – a newly added feature of Wi-Fi calling has come to the rescue.
Disclaimer: I can only speak for Verizon iOS devices – I am not sure if this works with other carriers.
Here is a tutorial to get cracking with Wi-Fi calling on your device:
-
Navigate to the settings on your phone
-
Click on the Phone Icon under settings
-
Under Calls – click Wi-Fi Calling – it should currently be set to ‘Off’
-
Click the toggle on the right hand side of the screen beside ‘Wi-Fi Calling on This Phone’
-
You should be prompted with a pop up -Click Enable
-
Put in your information here – this is so you can be located by your cell phone if you call 9/11. If you are a conspiracy nut – I cannot help you here – I will gladly hand over my address to get Wi-Fi calling – but that is me.
-
Once you fill this out click Continue.
-
Wait a few moments and you should now see VZM Wi-Fi at the top right of your screen.
-
You now can call over Wi-Fi – no more dropped calls!
