 Hello everyone this is Amit Dan of amitdan.com today I will have another episode of Android phone tips and tricks video and I'll talk about how to turn on Wi-Fi calling on your mobile phone if this is the first time or a repeat visit thank you for your support on this channel I'm always trying new and different ideas if that is something you're interested in please visit for more if you're only interested in phone tips videos there will be links in the description box below so let me start with explaining what is Wi-Fi calling so Wi-Fi calling is a feature which let's say use your phone anywhere in the world all you have to do is you have to have the Wi-Fi connected to your phone and you have to have a phone and a service provider which are Wi-Fi compatible so what I checked recently that most of the phones and service providers are Wi-Fi compatible these days but before you start using this feature I strongly recommend or suggest that you know check with your Wi-Fi provider that if they support and if they're not going to you know charge you anything extra for Wi-Fi calling which shouldn't be because I have been using this feature for a few years now so Wi-Fi calling is a feature which makes your local phone into a global phone anytime or anywhere you are with the Wi-Fi connection so for example let's say you are from Toronto Canada and you are in Sydney Australia so if you turn your phone in Australia and you know you started using your phone it's going to be very expensive to make and receive calls or text or anything but with your Wi-Fi calling your phone becomes a local Toronto phone in Sydney for example let's say that you are in Sydney and turn on Wi-Fi calling feature so you're going to be using your phone just like you're in Toronto and you're just using your local phone so you can receive and make calls to your local you know or to the numbers you have available through your plan and you can do a text or you know you can receive a text which are allowed in your plan so it's just like you know kind of you're transferring your plan from one city to another city or one country to another country without changing anything however let's say you're in Sydney and you if you're making a local call in Sydney from your phone using Wi-Fi calling feature then still it's going to be considered as an international call because your phone is assuming that you're still in Toronto so this is a great feature if you travel and even if you don't travel I use this feature all the time because you know I don't want my phone to connect to the network and you know release radiation if it's trying to catch the signal so I use this feature when whenever I'm home or whenever I have access to Wi-Fi so that way my phone doesn't need any signal and if you know it doesn't try to connect to signal all the time there should be you know lesser radiation out of your phone so today I'm going to show you how you turn on this feature so I'm going to be talking about Android phones and you should have the same feature you know on your Apple phones as well but you know definitely it could be slightly different you know options and settings and the phone I have here is Pixel 4a 5G but if you have any Android phone you know it should be the same for any Android phone so the first thing you're going to be doing is you have to go to your phone app on your phone so once you click on your phone app so it's going to bring you to this screen and here you're going to see three dots on the upper right that's where the settings are so you have to just click on it and if you click on it then you're going to see that there are settings so if you just click on settings from here and then here you're looking for calls which is right here so if you click on calls then you can see that you know it's giving you a few features and one of them is Wi-Fi calling so now for the first time you have to just you know click on it and you have to just turn this on mine is already on because I always use this feature so mine stays on now you're going to see couple of more options one is for example calling preference call your over Wi-Fi and call over mobile network so what it means that if you choose call over Wi-Fi it's going to always use Wi-Fi even if you have signal and if you use call over mobile network then it's going to look for mobile network first or your signal from your phone sale provider and then if it doesn't get that then it's going to you know switch to Wi-Fi but I like to use Wi-Fi all the time so mine is Wi-Fi all the time and another note that if you're using this feature for the first time then you're going to have to just like you know input your address and some other information because your phone provider needs to know your address in case of an emergency call and it's going to warn you that you know if you're using Wi-Fi feature then the local emergency authorities for example police or ambulance they might not have your exact location because it's not getting the you know location from the Wi-Fi signal I'm sorry from the cell phone signal so you have to just like you know input those information so it adds simple as it is so once you have that then you're going to see a message on top right here mentioning that your Wi-Fi calling feature is on so for example right now you can see that freedom Wi-Fi calling on top and that means that you know it's working this sign or this message would slightly be different on some other phones but on Google Pixel it shows this way freedom Wi-Fi calling or you know it will give you the name of the provider and then it will give you that you know your Wi-Fi calling is right now working so basically that's how you can set up it's a very simple the only thing you need to worry about is that you know you have to check with your phone if your phone is Wi-Fi compatible most phone these days are and then the other thing to check that you know if your service provider provides you that option and most service providers are providing this you know this option I haven't come across anyone lately that do not but you know you have to just check it in your service provider in your local country so if you have this feature then for example let's say when you're traveling you can always make and receive local calls text and you know text messages because your phone is just working is going to work just like you know you are in your local city and it's not going to you know you don't have to make internet what expensive like an international calls or anything but also make sure that you're still within your plan so for example if your plan allows let's say you were let's say live in New York and your plan covers like you know only calling within New York but it doesn't cover calling outside New York so your phone is going to still work the same way let's say you are in Thailand still it's going to consider that you know if you call outside New York then it's going to charge you you know a long distance or if it's going to consider that as a long distance call so you're just kind of transferring your plan from one city to another city keeping everything else the same so that's the basics of Wi-Fi calling so definitely this is a feature I always use and I remember that about I would say like five six years ago this feature was not available and I didn't have the you know luxury of like you know taking my local phone to anywhere I go but right now whenever I go I just use Wi-Fi calling and I have made or used Wi-Fi calling feature in many countries many cities for example Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, Bangladesh any country I can think of it I never had a situation where this feature didn't work and I never had any like you know international charges or any excessive charges on my phone for calling and texting from that local city it's just considered all calls are done or made within my hometown or home city so that's the basics of Wi-Fi calling and definitely you know this is a feature nice feature to have but again you know check with your provider and check with your phone if they're compatible and then you should be able to make your Wi-Fi or make your phone global phone within about two to three minutes so thank you for watching this video there will be more videos coming up so I'll see you shortly thank you
