Have you ever wondered how to turn off WiFi calling on your phone? You're not alone. This is a fairly common question, and one I've been asked multiple times over the years. There are a couple of different types of Android phones and they all offer WiFi calling in different ways. But don't worry because we'll cover all the different ways you can turn it off.
As smartphones have now reached the ceiling in capability, it seems only improvements of the current technology are being made. A game-changing trend is yet to break out. Though we don’t need it right now, the improvements made have greatly made our lives convenient.
Among the areas of improvement are the screen material, smart activation, and the various means of communication. For communicating with other people, web browsing has never been so easy now. Furthermore, a feature called “Wi-Fi calling” has been introduced.
Wi-Fi calling is a communication method that enables you to conduct phone calls through a Wi-Fi network. Generally, it is the same time as what features you are using with social media platforms. It is also what other internet services such as Skype and Viber are doing.
Wi-Fi calling is part of the technology called “Voice over Internet Protocol” or “VoIP”. The difference is that the application or web-based services are not the initiators but the phone carriers or the brands of your SIM cards.
Instead of using your regular balance, when antenna receptions are poor but you are able to connect to a Wi-Fi network, you can still make a call to other numbers. With that logic alone, the feature will only be available if the carrier offered it.
Wi-Fi calls in some countries are free of charge if the calls made were purely domestic. Since smartphones have two major operating systems, we will be tackling how to activate/deactivate the Wi-Fi Calling feature on both iOS and Android devices.
For iOS devices (iPhone 5C versions and higher):
To deactivate the Wi-Fi Calling feature, you can just reverse the steps and disable the toggle buttons.
For Android devices that are manufactured with the supporting feature:
Finally, you can now use the Wi-Fi Calling feature. To deactivate, retrace the steps and just disable the toggle button.
The Wi-Fi Calling feature allows us to communicate with other people without any significant setbacks. It may be a less appreciated feature due to many social media platforms these days, but there might be situations where it will come in handy. Besides, it can be availed of for free as long as the call is domestic.
