Wi-Fi Calling
Wi-Fi Calling is a free feature for T-Mobile customers with a Wi-Fi
capable phone. Wi-Fi Calling is an excellent solution for coverage
issues in and around the home or wherever cellular coverage is
limited. Minutes used while connected to the Wi-Fi network
count against available rate plan minutes.
The benefits of Wi-Fi Calling include the following:
• Wi-Fi Calling provides a coverage option to improve upon your current
in-home coverage experience
• Wi-Fi Calling works anywhere there is an open Wi-Fi signal available
Important!: Wi-Fi must first be active and communicating prior to launching
Wi-Fi Calling.
Note: Wi-Fi call quality will depend on the condition of the user’s current
Wi-Fi network. A Wi-Fi call may be dropped if the user travels outside
of their Wi-Fi coverage area.
Activating Wi-Fi:
1. Press ➔ and then tap ➔ Wireless and
networks ➔ Wi-Fi settings.
2. Tap Wi-Fi to turn it on. A checkmark displays to indicate
activation.
3. Tap an available WAP (Wireless Access Point) from within
the Wi-Fi networks area of the page. Follow the on-screen
instructions to complete connection.
Note: To avoid international data roaming fees when using Wi-Fi calling
when outside the United States, the Data Roaming feature on your
device must be turned off. For more information, refer to “Data
Roaming” on page 172.
Note: With certain rate plans, minutes used while connected to the Wi-Fi
network count against available rate plan minutes.

status bar. The network names and security settings (Open
