I use WhatsApp for overseas calls or Facebook messenger, but other Americans expect normal SMS and calls so this information is very helpful.

If there is a way to just choose to force the iPhone to connect to wificall instead of the carrier network it would be great

Is there a delay with wifi calling or does it transfer at the same speed as a network call?

@nextiva 5 ай бұрын

Great question! There shouldn't be any noticeable delay with wifi calling.

@VGB004 5 ай бұрын

@@nextiva I think I can tell now by how the caller responds, that it has a pretty good relay time. I've used online calling from apps and noticed the delay but it seems the direct calling runs faster. 👍🫡

Is wifi calling only for calls or can it be texts? Please clerify✨

@nextiva 2 ай бұрын

Hey there, great question! Texting will be dependent on the carrier you're using, so we suggest working with them on availability. However, if you're using a business communications app (like the Nextiva App 💁), texts can be sent using wifi without the need for a cellular signal!

did you mean using wifi calling, i can received calls and make calls to anybody else to any carrier or same carrier not just in emergency calls? please clarify

@nextiva 2 ай бұрын

Wi-Fi calling simply moves the connection from your phone to your carrier to your wifi network instead of the cellular network. Everything else works the same, and you should not notice any new restrictions. You should be able to call people on other networks if your plan supports that, as nearly all do.

Thanks for this video. I’ve spent the last hour trying to solve a telephone problem on my iPhone. Cell signal is one bar or less in the house. Has 3 bars for wifi throughout the house. The iPhone is setup for wifi calling. Calls work fine when I am in the room with the router but not if I walk to another room. My question is how do I verify that my phone is actually using wifi rather than cell for phone calls? Thanks

Hey there, we recommend checking with Apple on ensuring your iPhone is using the feature properly. Otherwise, we have a more in-depth article on wifi calling technology here 👉 www.nextiva.com/blog/what-is-wifi-calling.html

I have the opposite problem. I’m in a brand new suburban apartment complex, and nobody wants to lay the ground lines because they assume people will just use 5G Home.

@nextiva 7 ай бұрын

Sorry to hear that. Perhaps a 5g signal booster with the antenna mounted on your roof might help? They are generally good for an extra bar of signal given the same amount of RF interference. If you get better signal outside the house I would think it would be worth a try. Good luck!

The iPhone still prefers to have cell instead of WiFi calling. I see it go from Verizon is VZ Wifi constantly. Wish they would have a standard WiFi call all the time option. Airplane is great solution except when you leave the house it’s on and you may forget which you don’t realize ironically not getting calls again.

Is this why it shows up as PVWIFI on my text logs?? I went online to see why my calls were showing up at PVWifi.. I use wifi calling all the time and it doesn’t show on my phone bill.. So if I’m using wifi why does it still show up as PVWIFI?? What the heck is PV?

Just upgraded to iPhone 15 from a 6s, would not let me enable wifi calling and pop up said call Xfinity mobile, but they don't seem to know and when I get disconnected troubleshooting they never call back. So on a whim, I turned on Low Data Mode and it connected automatically to wifi calling. Cellular Data and roaming are still on, I'm hoping this lets me use maps/GPS and apps when I'm away from wifi, going to have to test that out. But hopefully this tip will help others experiencing the same problem.

this content is incorrect, you cannot make wifi calls without a sim and contract, an agreement was made with most mobile phone co's to prevent free calls!

@nextiva 3 ай бұрын

Hey! You're right that you still need a carrier contract to make calls using a phone number. This video was about how to enable wifi calling to overcome challenges with weak cellular signals or to avoid roaming charges. If you're looking to make calls without a sim card or contract, you may want to look into WhatsApp or Skype, which allow you to make calls on wifi without any carrier contract or sim.

Remember it may not be this easy. Why? Well when airplane mode is turned on often it also turns off wifi! So it will need to be turned back on. There may be some other hiccups but keep trying and eventually it should work as described in video. Thank you. Also swipe from top right and up top beside carrier name a moving banner should say wifi calling on so you know it's working. Enjoy. It's mainly useful if you have low signal strength like 1 bar and sometimes SOS only, then use wifi calling so you don't miss calls and can make them. Thanks again for video.
