Wi-Fi Calling
Wi-Fi calling gives you the ability to make and receive phone calls and send and receive text
messages over a wireless network. Because Wi-Fi Calling uses a wireless connection, your calls,
texts, and data activity won't count against your limits on your Sprint plan. Wi-Fi Calling also
enhances coverage in areas where a phone signal is weak.
Warning: 9-1-1 Emergency Calling using Wi-Fi Calling
Because Sprint Wi-Fi Calling is a Voice over IP service that sends calls over the Internet, it’s
important to note that 9-1-1 works differently than a regular 9-1-1 call on the Sprint Network.
When you make a 9-1-1 call with a Sprint Wi-Fi Calling-enabled phone, your phone will first attempt
to complete your call like any other 9-1-1 call on the Sprint Network. If wireless coverage is not
available, your phone will try to complete a 9-1-1 call over Wi-Fi. Because of this, it’s important to
always make sure you have an accurate address registered to each Wi-Fi access point you use for
Sprint Wi-Fi Calling.
If you would like to order a reminder sticker for your phone that explains how the 9-1-1 process
works with Sprint Wi-Fi Calling, please contact Care by dialing from your Sprint phone or
844-665-6327.
